Report: Commanders Allegedly Held Back Ticket Revenue Required to Be Shared with NFL

The Washington Commanders allegedly held back ticket revenue that is supposed to be shared with other NFL teams, according to A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports.

NFL teams are required to send 40 percent of ticket sales from every home game to the league. The NFL then distributes the money to away teams. According to Perez, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform received information from at least one person saying the Commanders didn't provide the full 40 percent of ticket sales.

"Ticket sales not only impact other teams, but also the players since ticket revenue is factored into overall league revenues that are used to come up with each year's salary cap," Perez wrote.
