The NFL distributed more than $8 billion in national revenue, mostly from its TV deals, in 2017.
Each team pulled in $255 million, according to financials revealed on Monday by the Green Bay Packers, a team that is a public company because it sells shares from time to time to raise money, even though its shares are technically worthless. The bump is an increase of 4.9 percent in national revenues, attributed to an escalator in the league's TV deals and the league's Thursday Night Football package becoming more valuable.
Packers president Mark Murphy said that any effects from the NFL's tough season, including the national anthem controversy, did not manifest itself on the books.
