The NFL is one of the biggest and most profitable sports leagues in the United States, yet average player salaries are less than their peers in the MLB and NBA.
There are three big reasons for the disparity in pay: league structure, salary caps and rules around "guaranteed money" for players.
NBA pros have it especially good. In addition to having a higher average salary per player, they also make more money off the court than athletes in the NFL and MLB. That's partly because NBA players have a bigger fan base outside the US.
