The National Football League is in a bad spot financially. After completing the 2020 season with hardly, or no, fans in the seats, the league is looking at a loss of revenue heading into 2021. The result of this could mean the league’s salary cap dropping for the first time in a long time, but the league is holding out hope the new TV contracts they are hoping to sign will not just negate the revenue lost, but mean the salary cap might not dip as much, or at all.
It is now being reported the league is asking their TV partners, FOX, CBS, NBC and ESPN (Disney) to double their current deals.
