Green Bay’s profit in the year ending March 31 was down 97.9% from $34.1 million in the year ending March 2018 and more than 99% from the record $75 million in the previous fiscal year. “From a financial standpoint, it was a unique year for the Packers,” Packers president Mark Murphy said Friday. Expenses rose from $420.9 million to $477.2 million, boosted by Rodgers’ $134 million, four-year deal and the contracts for several free agents: outside linebackers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith, safety Adrian Amos and guard Billy Turner. “We were a little more aggressive than we’ve been in a number of years,” Murphy said. While overall revenue increased 5.1% to $477.9 million, local revenue improved by only 2.3%, hurt by consecutive losing seasons that impacted apparel sales and tours of Lambeau Field and the Packers Hall of Fame. “If we can get back to the playoffs and get to the Super Bowl, that always helps,” Murphy said. “We have a policy regarding our season-ticket pricing. We want to be just below the league average. We don’t want everything to be on the backs of our season ticketholders.” The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement is set to expire after the 2020 season and the team has $397 million in its corporate reserve fund. “The plan was that we had enough money to cover expenses for a year. I think we’re in very good shape with that,” Murphy said. “We don’t have a rich, deep-pocketed owner, so we have a $400 million corporate reserve. Three or four years ago, we put $50 million into the corporate reserve. It’s grown since then with investment returns and we’ve made significant investments in real estate around this area.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I thought cap spending had nothing to do with the bottem line and had nothing to due with profit and loss so why is this article even discussing player contracts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The Packers situation is something we don't have to worry about and take for granted- the Jets are Top 10 in the NFL in terms of value and wealth generation. Even in bad seasons we are #1 in the AFC in attendance, #2 in the entire NFL which is a credit to our fanbase and the loyal supporters of this team. While all teams have the same cap and same rev share of TV money and merchandising, only the financially successful teams can afford world class training facilities, big salaries for coordinators and coaches, fringe benefits like luxury hotels and generous relocation packages. It's part of the reason why the Jets are an enticing destination for NFL talent. So good job Jets Nation. The part of the experience that we control is a well-oiled machine, one of the best in the NFL. SAR I 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc1 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The packers are owned by their fans most of whom bought the shares a long time ago and have them framed on a wall and have zero intent to ever sell it nor have they ever bought any other stock these people aren’t wall st traders so no it doesn’t matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
