The NFL itself would charge a "corporate overhead" charge to each of the 32 NFL franchises in order to pay the salaries of the commissioner and any other officials/employees of the NFL.

Don't misunderstand the business model. The NFL office is not for profit because it does not collect revenue. It's sole purpose for existence is to further the business success of its 32 franchises, whose goal is to make money as for-profit institutions.

The 32 franchises support the NFL with the corporate charge, and they ultimately benefit financially.
