The National Football League is waiting till the very last possible minute to announce the 2021 salary cap, and for good reason. The league’s contract with Disney, who also owns ESPN and ABC, is about to expire, and the league is asking a king’s ransom for the next contract.
Disney paid the NFL $1.9 billion dollars a year under the terms of their last contract, and the league reportedly was asking them to double that amount for their next deal. Obviously, Disney scoffed at the idea, and Friday reports circulated of a deal being reached between Disney and the NFL.
