I can't say I'm surprised that it happens, but which genius is the one who is talking about it and bringing possible unwanted league attention? It's not like we aren't scrutinized enough by the NFL

"You can make anywhere between $3,000 and $4,000 on each extra ticket," an anonymous Seahawks defensive player told SI. "I sold eight. Some go to teammates, but most guys hand their extras off to agents, who sell them for a small cut. Pretty much everybody knows about it now. Word travels fast."


An NFL spokesman told MMQB that if the league found out which players were involved in ticket scalping, they and their team would be fined.
