NFL teams reportedly received a record $432.6 million in league revenue sharing deal

The NFL is once again handing a record revenue share to its 32 franchises this year. The league sent each team $432.6 million as part of the NFL's national revenue sharing from the previous fiscal year, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. That means that the total handed out was more than $13.8 billion, an all-time record. Last season, each team received just more than $400 million. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] While those figures are generally kept private, they are revealed through the Green Bay Packers each season. The Packers are the only publicly owned team in the league, which requires them to reveal their financials on a yearly basis. Though each team is different, the Packers' financial statement provides a pretty good benchmark for franchises throughout the league. The Packers' profit from operations, according to ESPN, increased from $60.1 million to $83.7 million year-over-year. Local revenue, which was helped with the addition of a ninth regular-season home game for the first time last season, also increased by about $35 million. The Packers said that the national revenue sharing they receive accounts for about 60% of their total revenue. "The league has it so they're trying to grow at about a 7% growth rate annually," outgoing Packers president Mark Murphy told ESPN. 'And then the other thing I think the league's done a good job of is moving more towards streaming, but still a vast majority of our national revenue is coming from broadcast television." The NFL's current television rights deals with CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN and Amazon currently run through the 2033 season, but it is widely expected to opt-out early after the 2029 season and restructure them. The league has ventured into streaming slightly, too, with games on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. What those new deals will do in terms of revenue sharing for teams like the Packers, though, remains to be seen.

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says tariffs will range from 15% to 50% for trade partners

President Trump on Wednesday said that reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners would range from 15% to 50%, with countries the administration views as difficult receiving the higher rate. "We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%," the president said at an AI summit in Washington, D.C. "We have 50 because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well." Previously, Trump had made comments suggesting tariff rates would remain lower, around 10% or 15%. Meanwhile, the US and European Union are closing in on a trade and tariff deal, multiple reports said Wednesday, even as the EU prepared a possible retaliatory package on over $100 billion worth of US goods. The Financial Times reported that the deal would see US tariffs on EU imports dip to 15%, instead of the 30% President Trump has threatened from Aug. 1. Bloomberg reported the 15% tariff rate would apply to "most products." Such a deal would be similar to one Trump announced with Japan on Tuesday, which includes a 15% tariff on imported goods, while the country will invest $550 billion into the US. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump also said the US had also struck a trade deal with the Philippines, which will see the country's imports face a 19% tariff into the US. Trump said US exports will face no import tax in the Philippines as part of the deal. The White House also unveiled new details of a confirmed trade agreement with Indonesia too. Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul reported that a 19% tariff will apply to Indonesian goods, as well as a 40% rate on any 'transhipped' goods. US officials said no tax would apply to "99%" of US imports. The deal developments come as prospects for larger pacts with India and Canada remain in question. Trump has threatened 25% to 35% tariffs on those larger trade partners. Trump has also said he would soon send letters to over 150 smaller US trade partners, setting blanket tariff rates for that large group. Trump has already sent letters to over 20 trade partners outlining tariffs on goods imported from their countries. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said he expected many deals to take shape over the next several days.

Trump says he will trade 'Tariff points' for open markets to the US President Trump pushed one of his priorities in negotiating trade deals on Wednesday, and it wasn't exactly trade deficits. He suggested the US would reduce tariffs in exchange for countries opening their markets, i.e., putting zero tariffs on American-made products. "I will always give up Tariff points if I can get major countries to OPEN THEIR MARKETS TO THE USA," Trump posted on Truth Social. "Another great power of Tariffs. Without them, it would be impossible to get countries to OPEN UP!!! ALWAYS, ZERO TARIFFS TO AMERICA!!!" Trump's social media post came after the European Union announced it was preparing countermeasures against US tariffs, including a 30% tariff on over $100 billion worth of goods. Meanwhile, Indonesia agreed to drop its tariffs on US goods to 0% for 99% of trade. Detroit Three automakers raise concerns about Japan trade deal A group representing General Motors (GM) Ford (F) and Chrysler-parent Stellantis (STLA) raised concerns on Tuesday about the US-Japan trade deal, which could cut tariffs on auto imports from Japan to 15% while leaving tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico at 25%.

A European Commission spokesman said that the first part of countermeasures would combine an already approved list of tariffs on $24 billion of US goods and a previously proposed list on an additional on $83 billion of American products into one package. The US exports, which would include goods such as Boeing (BA) aircraft, US-made cars and bourbon whiskey would all face heavy tariffs that match Trump's 30% threat.

Honda (HMC) surged 9.8%, Toyota (TM) jumped 13.9%, Nissan (7222.T) gained over 5%, and Mazda (7261.T) soared 17.7%. Mitsubishi Motors (7211.T) rose over 12%. According to Japan's NHK, the revised tariff structure includes a 12.5% cut plus a 2.5% 'Most Favored Nation' base rate.

The exact definition of how Trump defines transshipped goods has been a matter of some debate in recent weeks. The deal with Indonesia includes goods not just re-labeled but made with a significant portion of components from a third country and then assembled in Indonesia. It's a provision also included in a recent deal with Vietnam and is clearly aimed at China. Indonesian negotiators previously confirmed that a deal had been struck but not all details, with the country president's spokesperson telling Reuters the negotiations had been 'an extraordinary struggle.' Trump says US has reached trade deal with the Philippines President Trump said Tuesday the US had reached a trade deal with the Philippines following its president's visit to the White House.
