18 game update
One update/correction to my earlier analysis of the players' share of any new money from an 18 game schedule.
I initially calculated each players' share of the $6.6 million per team a new 18 game TV contract would generate based on a 55 man roster (presuming that rosters would be expanded by two to account for the extra games). Since the 8 player practice squad is also counted under the salary cap, the $6.6 million should not have been divided by 55 but by 61. Note, I am presuming that in exchange for the two extra roster spots, the owners will commensurately reduce the practice squad roster from 8 players to 6.
So under this new math, the average player salary would increase by $106,000 ($6.6 million divided by 61).
