The recipient of an MBA in international business from the University of Miami, Brian Fettner owns the holding company BT Foods and has worked as a National Football League (NFL) player agent since 2014. In this capacity, Brian Fettner has secured more than $100 million in combined salary for his clients.
The NFL employs a salary cap, meaning that all teams must spend less than an agreed-upon figure in player contracts. That number was $123 million in 2013, but it has steadily risen since thanks in part to the growth of the league and its revenues. The 2019 salary cap increased by roughly 6 percent from the year prior to $188.2 million, and that figure is expected to see another significant hike for the 2020 season.
According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the salary cap for 2020 will fall between $196.8 million and $201.2 million. This will mark the seventh straight year that the cap has increased. Moreover, it has increased by around 65 percent since 2011.
While quarterbacks are still generally among the highest-paid players in the league, salaries are rising across other key positions as well. This past season, the Philadelphia Eagles gave tackle Lane Johnson and guard Brandon Brooks record-breaking contract extensions for their respective positions.
