Packers' Financials - Salary Cap Ramifications

Multiple sources have reported on the Packers' financial statement for the last fiscal year, including this article by Bill Huber for Sports Illustrated. The Packers lost $38.8 million last year, their first loss since 2003 when stadium renovations were completed. For context, the year before the most recent year had an operating profit was $70.3 million. That is a big swing, but there is no need to worry about the franchise's long-term viability because the Reserve Fund increased from $370 million to $491 million due to an improved stock market and other profits. While that is mostly "paper money" it is still a lot of money and it should easily allow the Packers to ride out this downturn.
