They are just holding it up,, trying to iron out the Micky Mouse vs Rowdy 8 rounder deal.
Vegas is laying early odds on MM, but Rowdy is going to bring it.

They deserve each other. They are both Mickey Mouse organizations.

NFL owners are like “shhhh, we we have to negotiate with players soon and try to use the cap going down this year as leverage”

Mickey needs to take out Rowdy, permanently.

This appears to be just another case of a sportswriter SPECULATING on something and got called out with his speculation.

Could because I can't stand ESPN anymore. What happened to them? They used to be such a great network for sports. Now, they have gotten like Sports Illustrated only worse.

LOL. The NFL using PFT to post nonsense is hilarious on every level.

The deals are done and they have exact numbers agreed to.
They won't sign them and make them official until they get past this salary year hurdle with the NFLPA.
There are few less likable businesses than the NFL.
3B a year jumps to 4.6B a year in broadcast rights alone and they don't want to unleash that until they have favorable terms on %s handed back to owners for eating % in the 2 down cap season years.

If you mean PFT sure.
If you mean Sport Business Journal then LOL.
He had exact numbers.
1B paid by NBC/CBS rises to 2B.
ESPN/ABC 2B bill rises to 2.6B and they get back in SB game rotation.

I'm referring to the speculation about the Disney deal that the NFL has refuted.
