For decades, the league — not the teams themselves who pay taxes — which makes an estimated $10 billion in annual revenue has avoided paying Uncle Sam because of a line of code that allowed them to do so. Section 501©(6) of the Internal Revenue Code says that "professional football leagues" are free to be exempt, which was a way that helped allow the NFL and old American Football League, its one-time rival, join forced into the monster it now is, back in 1966.

Boy, when those earning reports come out...there is going to be some hell to pay.  I predict that it will have some repercussions in regards to the CBA as well. 

 

I wonder if Jerry Richardson will be so quick to pull out graphs and pie charts.

From your link:

 

 

 

We also will find out, per this new designation, exactly what Goodell and other key NFL executives make to the penny per year, given that it's now public record. So it might be a positive PR move to give up the status willingly, but we suspect the sympathy only will go so far when it's revealed exactly what these big cats take home in pay.

I look forward to Goodell telling players they are making to much when his and the fatcats in the NFL offices have their salaries plastered all over Deadspin.

Isn't his salary released every year already?

It will be interesting to see what the NFL owners' henchman poster child makes. Somebody will have something to say about it, I guarantee it.

If you are interested then do a search for it. It's known because it's a non profit.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
