They pay players years in advance? Here I was thinking they gave them annual salaries and voluntary signing bonuses. It's not the players fault that teams compete for their services. No team is obligated to pay signing bonuses.

Most stadiums are financed in part by tax payers not to mention the fact that the NFL is a cash cow. The days of owners struggling are over and they hardly have to do much to get loans or fans to attend games. That isn't to say some owners don't face market place pressures but then again that's because their teams don't win.
I think this apply mostly to baseball and basketball players, whose entire contract $$ is guaranteed.
