New NFL TV Contract Speculation

ESPN’s MNF contract expires in 2021 and the other TV contracts expire in 2022.

From The Athletic:

Quote:

CBS Sports, which pays $1 billion annually for the Sunday afternoon package, is ready to substantially increase its fee and perhaps use its streaming service, CBS All Access, in a bid for part of Sunday Ticket or RedZone, sources said. CBS declined to comment. CBS recently merged with Viacom, so the company can better afford to play in these expensive waters.

Word floated last month that Disney’s ABC had designs on the CBS package or NBC’s Sunday Night package, and this week one high-profile analyst predicted CBS would lose the NFL.

“We believe CBS will lose Sunday afternoon NFL rights to either NBC or ABC, who are both keenly interested in having two packages (despite CBS’ long history with the NFL, its balance sheet does not give it enough firepower),” LightShed Partners’ Rich Greenfield wrote. “We believe Fox would be interested in a combo of Sunday afternoon and Sunday or Monday Night, which will drive NBC and ESPN/ABC to pay up meaningfully to retain their primetime rights.”

I'd say move MNF back to ABC, but we'll still get a good dose of Booger.

**** it, move MNF to The CW.

That ESPN broadcast needs a whole new crew. I'd rather have Dennis Miller back than what they've had the last two years. Or the terrible marriage of tirico and kornheiser. Thay would still be better.

I read somewhere that the MNF team was interested in hiring Romo

Monday night Booger and some guy that sold out for some shit show like Holy Moley is the best they could do. Really??'

Booger is toast

And I agree, return MNF to a broadcast network and it will be crazy again.

I’d like to see a deal like this.

CBS has a Sunday afternoon package
Fox has the other Sunday afternoon package
ABC has MNF - ESPN/ABC get Thursday night and Saturday games
NBC keeps SNF and some Saturday, and Thanksgiving game

Screw the NFL network

Romo wants to announce Super Bowls so the MNF package would probably have to move from ESPN back to ABC for that to happen.

New contract needs to include a "no booger" clause.

Doesn't this mean the cap is going way up as well? We should have plenty of cap as time goes on to sign Mahomes and Jones to long term contracts.

Now that CBS isn't going to have the SEC package I would think they have even more money to spend.

So I have no idea. Are we all sure they’re going to pay up? Eventually the live sports bubble will burst. I mean ESPN on the content side is in shambles. I can’t imagine they are wanting to pay through the nose for MNF when all people do is complain about their personalities announcing it.

NBA got a huge bump their last time. Are those networks happy with their returns?

I hope it does. But I’m afraid it won’t

ESPN may be hurting but Disney is not.

I imagine that the NFL has at least one more big TV contract before the bubble bursts. Of course im not helping when I watch most games on my phone on nfl mobile. But I did pay them $10 to watch redzone on my phone all season
