I have heard nothing along those lines.

Let me do a little speculating here:

If there were no provisions in the DirecTV contract preventing the NFL from doing this deal on digital cable networks, my guess is that it would be done by now. Reason? More potential subscribers = more revenue with no added costs to the NFL.

THEREFORE, I have to assume for the moment that the deal with DirecTV precludes that from happening immediately.
