NFL Reportedly Shopping Rights to Broadcast 'Thursday Night Football'

According to Claire Atkinson of the New York Post, the NFL is shopping around its Thursday Night Football package and is even offering a stake in the NFL Network in negotiations.

Atkinson reported the league would be willing to offer broadcast rights for a full 16 games for its Thursday night schedule. CBS currently owns the rights to broadcast eight Thursday night games as a part of its $300 million deal with the league, with those games also airing on the NFL Network and the rest of the broadcasted games remaining solely on the NFL Network.
