Thats why.

So many bottom of dresser draws will be lined with Tebow jerseys in the next few years.

Does anyone know what % of profits, if any, that each team and player makes for their jersey sales?

I'm not sure if it's still the same, but if I remember right a couple of years ago at least it was something like the NFL gets 13% of all merchandise sales and that's split across all 32 teams.
That applies to sales made at NFLShop.com and third-party sites. Redskins get a larger cut if the jersey is bought at one of their stores, but not sure what it is.
In conclusion...I don't know the answer to your question

so in other words, it doesn't matter if you have McNabb or Tebow... all the teams get the same cut? like a revenue share?

Depends on where the jersey was bought

yeah I was wondering that yesterday too. Players dont get a cut at all huh?
Kind of sucks. I think it is true. Thats why EA can have rights to a players name for madden, because they just get the rights from the league. Players dont get extra for that. I remember some of the players on the madden "classic" teams sued because their names were being used improperly.
I think players do get a small cut.
I remember when LaVar wasn't letting his jersey be made it was because he wasn't happy with the % and wanted more, so I'm pretty sure they get something.

The NFLPA also gets a cut (not sure how much) which is then distributed among the players somehow
