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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Vikings bring back a familiar face Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen Panthers get: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 seventh-round pick A reunion between Thielen and his former team seems too easy. The Vikings are struggling with injuries at wide receiver and a potential Jordan Addison suspension. The Panthers want to see what they have with their younger wideouts, and Hunter Renfrow's emergence in camp as a potential fourth or fifth option could squeeze a roster spot for Thielen, who doesn't play special teams. The problem is Thielen's $6.25 million base salary. The Vikings obviously would prefer the Panthers cut the 34-year-old and pick him up for free, but Carolina already paid Thielen a $1.5 million roster bonus earlier in the offseason, suggesting it expected to have him. His salary isn't yet guaranteed, but it will become so if he's on the roster in Week 1, leaving the Panthers until then to make a decision. If he does get released, he isn't likely to get anything close to $6.25 million from another team, so he also is facing some uncertainty. All sides involved probably would need to give a bit to make a mutually advantageous deal work. The Panthers would eat $1.5 million of Thielen's contract, getting two of the three picks the Vikings got from the Jets in the Harrison Phillips trade in return. Thielen would take a $1 million pay cut in return for having the remaining $3.8 million guaranteed. The Vikings cleared out almost exactly that much when they made the Phillips trade, allowing them to absorb what's left of Thielen's contract as part of the deal. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46053274/nfl-preseason-trades-2025-team-offers-players-draft-picks-contracts

      From JoeBucsFan. Teams don't usually waste 2nd round picks like that. Kind of sounds like they think he just doesn't belong in the NFL.
