Which NFL clubs have sold the most jerseys and team merchandise this season?

The Patriots rank second when looking at sales on NFLshop.com from April 1-Dec. 31.

The top 10:

1. Dallas Cowboys

2. New England Patriots

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

4. Chicago Bears

5. Green Bay Packers

6. Indianapolis Colts

7. Washington Redskins

8. New York Giants

9. Philadelphia Eagles

10. San Diego Chargers

As for the top selling NFL player jerseys, the Patriots have two players in the top 25 -- quarterback Tom Brady and receiver Randy Moss. As Moss continued to catch more passes, sales of his jerseys began to increase. Moss was not part of the top 25 as of Aug. 31. In October, he moved up to No. 18. Now, he is No. 8.

The top 10:

1. QB Tony Romo (Cowboys)

2. QB Tom Brady (Patriots)

3. QB Peyton Manning (Colts)

4. QB Brett Favre (Packers)

5. RB LaDainian Tomlinson (Chargers)

6. RB Adrian Peterson (Vikings)

7. LB Brian Urlacher (Bears)

8. WR Randy Moss (Patriots)

9. S Troy Polamalu (Steelers)

Do Players receive a certain percentage of material that is sold with their name on it? I thought I had heard somewhere that is part of the agreement that the players association agreed to with the owners.
