The NFL’s landscape changed a bit on Thursday, when the league announced new long-term agreements with its broadcasting partners — a stable that includes CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN/ABC, and Amazon — which will bring in $10 billion in revenue each year for a decade, starting in 2023. That’s great news for the New Orleans Saints and other teams that maximize their salary cap resources.
That’s because the salary cap is directly linked with league revenue, which is tied to these media contracts as well as other income sources like advertising partnerships and stadium attendance and concessions.
