all teams, as is most other revenue. Almost every NFL game is a sellout or darn close. Compared to a sport like baseball where so much revenue is local, there just isn't a lot of financial upside for an NFL team to take on a sideshow like Kaepernick or Tebow. Even with the Bengals, they weren't making those moves to generate attendance and viewership. By signing players with baggage, they were hoping to get a competitive edge by getting A-level talent at B-level prices.
