The NFL is discussing TV rights deals with its partners that could be for 10 years and far exceed $100 billion in total value, The Post has learned.
Sources said the league and its current partners are working on frameworks for agreements that would keep the Sunday afternoon games on CBS and Fox, “Monday Night Football” on ESPN/ABC and “Sunday Night Football” on NBC. ESPN/ABC is expected to add Super Bowls when all is said and done.
The deals are not completed and the NFL could change course, but this is where it is trending, according to sources. The NFL is the highest-rated programming in television, which gives the league exceptional leverage, and they are expected to receive substantial increases over their current contracts.

Guess they boycott isn’t working.
They aren’t getting anything from me, so I don’t care.
NFL GTH!
Pie in the sky, the numbers dont lie lets keep up the good work and crush them
The SJW networks will try to weather the boycott until resistance is worn down. That’s their hope anyway.
Ditto. And I spent thousands a year on the NFL.
The NFL is too big to fail. It’ll be propped up for probably another 10-15 years.
I don’t if I should believe those viewership numbers anymore. It’s the old adage: follow the money. The Networks, Amazon and possibly Apple are not going to commit $100 Billion (and possibly more) if they didn’t think they would make money. The only way they make money is if people watch and/or but their merchandise.
Hopefully, all those lib alphabet outfits tie that dying, rotting albatross around their necks and have to wear it for a good, long while.
Nope. Guess people will gladly pay money for circuses, even knowing that eventually, the BLM monster behind it all will eventually drag the insufficiently subservient, but nevertheless willing, spectators to the center ring to be mauled and eaten by a lion.
That’s because the sellers and the buyers are blaming the downturn on COVID.
The facts (being ignored) are that ratings are more than half what they were last year and there’s nothing else to watch!
It is income they will not be using to oppress us.
Waste of money.
>> Guess they boycott isn’t working.
To the contrary, it sparked this unfortunate taxation.
The NFL is boring.
Chase each other.
Fall down.
Repeat.
Zero talent involved.
Again, I don't know if I should believe the ratings. $100 Billion (plus) is too large a commitment to product supposedly on the decline. The TV ratings numbers apparently don't tell the whole story
I doubt this money comes from viewership. This is a propaganda push they want people to think the boycotts are not working. If the boycotts are not affecting their ability to get paid this kind of money, then perhaps whoever is paying them does not care about viewer revenue
I love football but I love our country more. The NFL has pushed me to choose. You cannot love tge country and watch people disrespecting the flag.
That they don’t miss the revenue of losing half their viewership (who would watch this?) is the real story but why would the NY Post research that?
Why would TV networks seek a deal with a sports organization that is on its way out? Ratings are abysmal. Any deal will be a huge loser for networks. The BLM bs and the pandering to that bs by the league was not hidden. People saw this happening and tuned out. Thats a death knell.
Well the Networks and their $100 Billion don't see it as a rathole. Remember, despite COVID and boycotts, NFL TV ratings (to the extent they are accurate in this day of online streaming) are only off 8%.
