Larz Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Houston Texans? the value of the building is a huge chunk of the total figure if the owner owns it outright (I think) which is why the skins are always up there (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Silly article. Sillier responses. Woody PAYS 650 million, and then the value of the organization increases (as he pays for a new training facility, and half of the new stadium (800 million plus), and looks to get paid back in PSLs). The fact that the paper value of the team is over billion is only helpful to pay player salaries if you think he's selling part of the team for cash. Unless Revis is going to take a 1% share of the team every year instead of that salary, the two are completely unrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL players make the least of the major sports and play by far the most physically demanding. But they only work 16 days a year plus playoffs.
