Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

[SunnySide]

Isnt the league in new TV contract rights currently?

--

When the league certified its new collective-bargaining agreement this offseason, ensuring labor peace for the next decade, focus shifted towards negotiating television contracts. While many of the contracts with networks for broadcasting rights to games don’t expire until 2022, the league was determined to reach agreements with its providers.

According to NBC Sports’ Peter King, the league is expected to sign new 10-year contracts with its network partners within a month. As a result, NBC, CBS, FOX and Disney will all be partnered with the NFL through 2030.

When the contracts are finalized, the league could receive more than $100 billion over the life of the deals. Even after a season that saw a steep drop in viewership, networks are reportedly prepared to pay an aggregated increase of 70-100% from their current contracts.

Players get 47% to 48.5% of the league revenue .. so the cap will explode.

No doubt Jerry on the finance committee is arguing for a cap INCREASE this year to save his teams situation.
