That’s getting to be the norm in contracts. It’s a safe bet for the next decade because of revenue growth. At some point though revenue will plateau and that’s when you don’t want old bills and new bills coming due
Spending money before it is real.

That’s how they make the system work. And it’s safe for now because the rights contracts are a known income stream locked in contracts. At some point that will change. Streaming services will see it doesn’t substantially affect subscriptions. Peacock added subs last year on the game they had but a big chunk cancelled later

In an interview a couple of weeks ago, Stephen Jones said that for what the Cowboys were about to pay CeeDee Lamb, he needs to be targeted 12-15 times per game. Given how the Jones family operates, this is not surprising at all. They want to justify giving CeeDee this new contract. Besides, I already said in a couple of posts that this could happen, and to not be surprised if it does happen and CeeDee has a similar season to last year or better if he can stay healthy. People (on and off this board) got on me last year for making my predictions of him getting 120+ catches, 1,600+ yards, and 15 touchdowns for 2023. Anyway, here are a couple of links to articles with Stephen's quote:

Absurd . Each game is individual . You don’t go into a game and say hey let’s force 12-15 targets to one player . The scary part is he takes over for the current “ GM “ at some point

You don't force balls thrown to anyone. You throw the ball to who is open. Regardless of temper tantrums on the sideline.
