The average salary for the other major professionals sports is:
NBA - between $5.5 and 6 million
NHL - a little over $2.3 million.
NFL - about $1.1 million.
Even though the NFL is the most popular sport in the country, their average salary is much lower than the others. This is due to the much large roster size, and short (just 16 games) regular season. Also, since the average career of an NFL player is shorter, many more players are making close to the league minimum of about $200,000
