Revenue in the NFL reached an estimated $9.5 billion in 2011-12. That is up $500 million (5.6%) from the year before, and $1.8 billion (23.4%) more than Major League Baseball ($7.7 billion).
The NFL average is so much lower than the other leagues because of the large number of players on each team and the high turnover rate, especially among fringe players. As a result, the average NFL player makes just $1.9 million and has a career of just 3.2 years. Of course, most players will fall below these averages as there will always be elite players that pull the average up, such as Kevin Garnett, who has played 19 seasons and made more than $300 million in his career.
