If the NFL is $9B in debt, then, either the article is leaving out the part where they have $20-25B (my guess) in assets, or my name is Homer J. Simpson.

The NFL is ROLLING in money. There's not a single team in the league that's not making money, and probobly at least 30 of the 32 teams would still be making money if you took ticket sales out of the equation.

I think I heard (or figured it out myself), for every MNF game on TV, enough money is paid to the league to pay EVERY player in the league about $50,000. There are what, 18 MNF games? So, MNF alone is paying enough to pay every player in the league about $900,000. There are 3 other major TV deals that pay substantial amounts.
