Good lord that’s a lot of money.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

I believe the current deal was for $43 Billion. Could be seeing nearly double on the salary cap.

Mo Money, Mo Problems.


RIP Biggy

110 billion? I love football but our priorities as a society are off.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

How many years is that $110 billion for? What's the per year average?

NASCAR brings in almost $1 billion per year, with people just watching cars go around in a circle.

That's for TV and Sponsorship...I don't think it includes track ticket sales.

Truth.

I'm happy for the players. Won't make much difference to the team composition, just means free agents get paid proportionately more.

 

[speedy]

That’s insane money… I love the game, but I really despise the league. Where does all this money go???

 

[outcent13]

Just in time for Kylers massive extension!

They were losing money hand over fist with the current deal. They'd have to ~triple advertising fees to break even. NFL driven cost inflation, hahahaha.

 

[WisconsinCard]

That money essentially covers the salary cap, and the owners use the other money's for coaches and expenses.

 

[Iceman]

Crazy how much $ is generated through us all following this game!

 

[AZman5103]

12 years...so less than 10B a year.

I know thats crazy money...but having the NFL games is almost invaluable. You are guarenteed to get huge audiences every week, both locally, nationally, etc.

This deal alone is about 285 Million a year...PER TEAM.

And they’ll tell us they will have to raise ticket prices…

 

[Rohinaz]

considering the inflation we got from the current administration, a pack a gum will be 75 bucks in the next few years...

Private companies buying highly watched tv events to sell ad space on has nothing to do with society

Well...I don't know about nothing to do with it. It does highlight our growing need and desire for extreme consumption and consumerism as a society. IMO.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

This is a salient point. The players wouldn’t make astronomical money if not for tv contracts. The tv contracts are due to the advertising they can sell. Of course producers want eyes on products. So in the end people aren’t really valuing the players skills at those dollars, their salaries are the product of the marketing system. Those dollars are going to go somewhere due to eyes on the product. Tv execs? Tv as sales? The league? The owner? The players? As long as marketing on tv is a thing exorbitant dollars to entertainers will continue.

This will be huge with us giving KM his contract

I think K1 will get an extension on his current deal, so to say. So the big money won't kick in until after next year. Although I'm guessing he'll get a big signing bonus that can be partially tied into next year.
