actual ticket prices havent increased that much in recent years. demand has increased, while supply stayed the same, so RESALE market has increased, which the league has basically nothing to do with
I made one but it’s not loading right on here. Average ticket price in 2004 was $62.38 and in 2024 the average ticket price was $120.98. Just giving you an idea. Salary cap is actually going up faster than the average ticket prices
@@salvatoreregalbuto5444you can thank scalpers for that, probably a 50-60$ face value when they bought the ticket and jack uped the price on Ticketmaster/seatgeek
SRP for tickets haven’t raised that much, half the seats will never be empty, resellers will just make less money and secondary ticket prices will go down
Frankly, it’s the money thats ruining the game. Sports betting, engineering the game to focus only on scoring, it all just creates a breeding ground for corruption and mediocrity.
For real. Bro suckin off goodell mahomo and the fake ass nfl. Barely addressed Mixon getting fined 25k for nothing. All hail supreme commander nfl! Throws hearts.
I hate this. Higher contracts means higher ticket prices. These athletes are making more than enough money, and this is hurting the fans. It's disgusting.
A lot of revenue for sports leagues is from broadcasting rights. Because we're in the middle of a transition from TV to streaming, everyone is overpaying for broadcast rights. Streaming services are eating into TV viewership and the TV networks are trying to convert into their own streaming services (like NBC with Peacock) to compete. In the end once the transition is complete not all the current streaming services will have survived because there are too many of them. So everyone is trying to get whatever content they feel will draw viewers to ensure that they're one of the ones that survive and sports broadcasting like the NFL is seen as a big draw. But once the streaming transition has completed and there are three or four services left, the war is over. So the perceived value of sports broadcasting will be more like it was in the days before streaming where it's a good drawing show but not something viewed as an absolute necessity for survival. At that point the remaining services will not feel they have to pay as much for the broadcast rights so they'll lowball renewal offers and the sports leagues will see that revenue decrease. As a result the cap will go down and the NFL will no longer have this trend of constant growth. That's going to be an interesting time when that bubble pops. They need to plan under the assumption that broadcast rights revenue is largely phony and can't be relied on long term. In terms of strictly the salary cap, there are going to be some teams stuck in a tough spot when the cap unexpectedly goes down. The strategy of deferring into later years where the cap is presumed to be higher won't work.
One way or another, all this money comes from the fans. I love the NFL, but forgive me if I don't celebrate paying some quarterbacks $50 million salary.
That's just the cap space, there's still stadium and organazitional expenses as well as the actual profits each separate team makes! Its good to be in the nfl XD
Average Firefighter Salary: $49,500 per year Average Police Officer Salary: $72,000 per year Average Teacher Salary: $71,000 Just putting numbers out there for perspective on how professions that actually matter are getting compensated in comparison.
NONE of the professions you mentioned get thousands of people coming out to watch them perform lol. plus, america values pro sports athletes a lot more than most countries in the world.
@@carparthero Your point.... So the millions of people effected by the wildfires in LA don't count as spectators? I think you're unironically making the OPs point. That there are some things that people don't set out to buy that are more important. LA has literal convicts fighting fires for $25 a day rn. Our priorities are upside down.
Nfl players aren't average, so it's not an apples to apples comparison in the first place. They are the top of their industry. You'd need to look at the salaries of the highest level firefighters and other industries. Of course nfl players will still be way higher, but the point is that most people involved in football don't make that much money. It's similar to acting. The top tier actors make a ton of money, but that's a very small percent of them that get to that level.
The 23 to 24 jump is the one that was insane and it showed with the QB deals signed that year. We'll see a lot of mid range players getting contracts that will dwarf All Pro players by a mile. Sam Darnold and Brock Purdy are bound to sign massive deals. The Bengals might actually be able to keep Ja'Marr and Tee and both will have absurd deals.
I like the NBA for that too, as only the players who have proved it get big contracts, but football is way more violent and physical, so I don’t blame players for wanting to get paid.
The ridiculous over the top salaries of these player is I think part of the decline of the NFL. When players make more the people who watch and support them in one game then they will possibly for their whole lives it’s getting just too much.
Ticket prices r absolutely absurd. I’ve been a Ravens season ticket holder since the 2000 season when they moved to their new stadium that same year. They used to announce the attendance at every game and initially most home games were sell outs but they haven’t announced attendance figures for home games in many years ostensibly bc games don’t sell out, even playoff games don’t sell out anymore. The average fan can’t afford it. Plus now u have to have multiple streaming services to view regular season games as well.
Salary cap for quarterbacks should be $250 million over five years which equals 50 million per year. No player needs to be taking a bigger piece of the pie than that and the NBA needs to do the same exact thing.
The players deserve it. And should get stock when they retire. After seeing what Steph Curry did for the warriors franchise, they deserve whatever they get in all the major sports. Because in 2009 Warriors franchise was worth $314 Million, today it’s worth 9.14 BILLION!
"How do they continue to grow" They increase the prices of streaming services each year and pass all this down to the consumer... This is not a good thing for the fans. We pay the salary cap
So when the salary cap is increasing by 7-10% every year, you’re gonna get QBs like Purdy and TLaw “resetting the market” & being highest paid player. Because in 2-3 years (in the middle of their new contract) after another ~10 QBs have signed their contracts, all increasing by 7-10% per year, they will be getting below mid-level pay.
The NBA still has a ton of money because of the TV & streaming contracts they signed. At some point soon there will be regression once those contracts are expired or voided due to massive dips in viewership and advertising potential
It’s legitimately insane that it’s jumping this much on a year to year basis when the sport is already absurdly popular….its not like tv deals get re-negotiated every year. Burrow’s $55 million per when the cap was $224 million is the high water mark at the moment. Dak got $60 but that’s a slightly smaller percentage of the then $255 cap…..We’re getting close to $70 million per for a truly elite QB. Parsons and Chase should get around $40 million per year this offseason though both have cheap owners so I’m sure they’ll be unnecessary delays.
How in the world is the nba paying these guys. Who the hell watches or pays to go to a regular season game. Has to be marketing and other stuff cause I don’t know a single person tuning into an nba game over 25 years old. Their market is 8-20 year olds
The NFL should change the cap to per-player instead of per team, or implement a luxury tax like the NBA has. Otherwise you're guaranteed to have between 5 and 10 teams every year that have a $50M+ salary superstar, and a ton of cheap rookies with a new coach getting thrown into the mix and being told to compete for the championship with this roster. This huge cap makes it impossible (well, highly unlikely under the current paradigm) to assemble and keep a decent roster over even the mid-term.
The cap doesn't change how many players are available. It's just going to even out to exactly where it is already, with each position taking up the same percentage of the cap they do now. Just a bunch of rich pigs feeding each other. Nothing new.
If this is what players be gettin' paid, especially NBA and MLB we really need to reconsider ticket prices because the gate now seems to be a small piece of the salary pie!
NFL teams make about 500M-700M a year depending on team which includes TV revenue, concessions, ticket etc..Imagine if NFL teams operated like Pro Boxing.
275,000,000÷53 players is only about $5 million per player. Then players like Dak Prescott takes what it cost to pay 12 players. Not to mention all the other stars on the team. That 275 million is really low. Golden State Warriors I’ve been spending about $500 million a year for like the last 10 years and there’s only 12 people on that team.
Clearly the fatigue with the Chiefs is killing interest in the NFL, resulting in the freefall in the salary cap. Adding all those new female viewers has been a big negative for the payroll, too!!!
It’s absolutely possible to burn the rest of Deshauns deal on this cap, especially using the June provision to split it between ‘25 and ‘26…..it was only a few years ago that eating $40 million for Wentz seemed crazy….thats nothing now. Some team will eat $100 million in dead cash soon
And they transfer the cost to the fans. As far as the NFL is concerned, it’s becoming all sizzle and no steak. Personally, I am out. I’m not giving my money to the NFL anymore. I have better things to do to do with my Sundays anyway.
34mill is about the cost of a min wage starting qb now.....eventually there will be enough tent campers with jobs mind you but can't buy a damn thing...just struggling to find a decent carboard box that dont' cost an arm and a leg... in the cities and then nfl will mean nothing and there goes the rise in the cap....but that ONE qb will have 200mil in his pocket.
Why do y’all act like ticket prices matter nfl games are meant to be watched at home they aren’t enjoyable at all in person like baseball is and I don’t even like baseball
I would like to see a side by side graph of "ticket prices" and Salary caps, might be interesting.
actual ticket prices havent increased that much in recent years. demand has increased, while supply stayed the same, so RESALE market has increased, which the league has basically nothing to do with
@landenf9 nah they've up on both ends. Don't go throwing the scapers under the bus for rodger goodel😂
Make one.

@@landenf9 I'm talking about face value on tickets, not scalp or resale ticket prices. Regular Season/Season ticket prices.
It went up almost $100 million in 4 years. Crazy. A watered down beer will now cost $50
Probably set your base at home, then you can get couple of the H2O weisers and be good to go 😂
Thank God for the money printers! As long as the FED keeps printing money... we're all rich!!!
And soon the tickets will cost so much that they lose ticket sales to the point the stands are half empty.
it cost $800 dollars for two tickets to sit in the nosebleed section at eagles games. Against the BROWNS!
@@salvatoreregalbuto5444you can thank scalpers for that, probably a 50-60$ face value when they bought the ticket and jack uped the price on Ticketmaster/seatgeek
@@salvatoreregalbuto5444when did you try buying tickets? Most people plan events like that months in advance so they can get cheap tickets.
SRP for tickets haven’t raised that much, half the seats will never be empty, resellers will just make less money and secondary ticket prices will go down
Yeah I'll never be able to see a game. Nfl is trash
And the Saints will STILL find a way to be $100 million over it...
Them boys been on the credit card for as long as I can remember…

Exactly
I thought corruption and mediocrity were two of humanities strongest qualities.
Pat out here looking like a Ref
Chiefs 3rd jersey.

No he wouldn’t dress like a ref. Yes not a chiefs fan
He’s 10 seconds from making out with Mahomes 😂

This graph is a snapshot of the problem with our economy.
I love football and the NFL but 💯
They don't need a bigger cap, they need a bigger active roster.
top players will still get top dollar because they arnt replaceable leaving less for rest of team
love the chiefs jersey, pat!
I hate this. Higher contracts means higher ticket prices. These athletes are making more than enough money, and this is hurting the fans. It's disgusting.
Paying 300 + for nosebleeds or even 200+ in those seats are crazy . Luckily I been able to go to games and sit in lower section at reasonable prices

Great explanation, I never thought of that.
The 'Price Is Right' yodeler graphic is a nice touch.
One way or another, all this money comes from the fans. I love the NFL, but forgive me if I don't celebrate paying some quarterbacks $50 million salary.
I see recession or depression.
I sold a kidney to go to see my beloved JETS lose.
What is that like 8.8 Billion in cap space for all 32 teams
That's just the cap space, there's still stadium and organazitional expenses as well as the actual profits each separate team makes! Its good to be in the nfl XD
Nice math skillz
Mahomes about to get a 3 year $2 billion deal with that cap lol
They need to put a salary cap on quarterbacks at 50 million per year.
Yeah because they deserve 50 but not 51. That’s too much 😂
Average Firefighter Salary: $49,500 per year
Average Police Officer Salary:
$72,000 per year
Average Teacher Salary:
$71,000

Nobody is watching those people work. Tens of millions watch athletes,
Police can kiss my ass. Idc what they make, they can make 5 bucks an hour.
This isn’t much growth in real value, it is basically a graph showcasing the decline of the dollar.
Price the salary cap in a more stable asset and watch it actually decline. The cap today would need to be $450 million to be equivalent to 2006.
Get that paper! I don’t attend games, buy sports merchandise or have NFL cable packages but many others do. Congrats to the players.
About to be a recession for the NFL.
You're delusional

I like how the NBA decides who is eligible for these major contracts. Or more like the players decide with their play and awards
I like the NBA for that too, as only the players who have proved it get big contracts, but football is way more violent and physical, so I don’t blame players for wanting to get paid.
So, more cap space will mean money will get spread around more instead of focusing so much on a couple guys, but I doubt it.
Yea we’re headed towards a depression
I think they need to slow it down and prep for tighter times. Some of that revenue will come in handy if things aren’t as lucrative in the future
The Saints will still find a way to be over the cap!
The ridiculous over the top salaries of these player is I think part of the decline of the NFL. When players make more the people who watch and support them in one game then they will possibly for their whole lives it’s getting just too much.
What decline? You mfs just say anything huh
@ the decline in viewership, apparently you can’t read very well:
that sorta what i yell at the receivers when they drop the football on a wide open pass...
At this point players are better off signing short term contracts
Anyone over watching rich ass hats play sports…
RBs still gonna get stiffed.😂😂
$34.6 million in 1994 is worth $74 million today 😢
Guess we know who Pat’s rooting for this weekend
College cap will look like this soon
$34.6 mil in 1993 is approximately $75 mil 2024 ....still pretty crazy
So then the inflation adjusted cap change is almost 4x
NBA fans want continue to pay more for tickets though
Ans the NBA ratings are trash
Must adjust for inflation boys.
Also... a logged chart would be more logical. Not just pure dollars.
The increases have far outpaced inflation
😂 pat’s shirt 😂 🤣 what is Disney doing to you

"How do they continue to grow" They increase the prices of streaming services each year and pass all this down to the consumer... This is not a good thing for the fans. We pay the salary cap
Cap is about to jump by whatever amount it takes for the Chiefs to resign their guys again.
Damn you letting them live rent free like that, thats crazy.
yeah cause the chiefs are the only team that benefits from re signing players
Pat’s dressed like the couch my grandma had when i was a kid
The rest of the league can thank the Chiefs and Travis Kelce for the bag.

$294 million in 2026...
this just incentives Goodell to find new streaming apps to sell to, make more games, and more countries to play in.
Can't get a starting QB for 34 million and that was the whole team.
Position cap might be an interesting concept
