Thanks to Mike Florio over at ProFootballTalk.com for bringing this to our attention.
According to Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal the NFLPA decreased its salaries by more than $3 million in 2008 with a total of $14 million in compensation down from $17.4 million in 2007.
As noted by Kaplan, the union most likely shifted some salaries over to the ‘for-profit’ Players Inc. which is not required to share its financials to the extent a non-profit (NFLPA) is required.
In 2008, compensation totals reflected 22 percent of total revenues down from 29 percent in 2007.
