Beside that, all of these numbers that have been released this year have been very high.
And I think it's a clear indicator.
The NFL salary cap is going to continue to go up.
These teams are banking on the salary cap rising each and every year.
They know the media contracts are being negotiated right now between the NFL and all of these media companies.
And it's the biggest thing that any of these networks can afford.
But what I'm saying is most of the money that dictates the salary gap are the media contracts.
It's gone up 40 million the last couple of years or went up 40 million last year.
What was it this year?
You said 20 something?
Yeah.
So it did that without redoing the media contracts.
That's just in revenue going up across the league.
What's going to drastically change it is the NBA redid their media contracts a few years ago without the revenue really going up.
Like the viewership and everything stayed stagnant, but these networks need sports to survive.
So they spent huge on the NBA media contracts.
I really do believe that this is NFL teams knowing these media contracts that they're coming and renegotiating right now are going to be astronomically higher than they are right now.
I think we're going to start seeing absurd numbers.
I mean, these are already crazy.
You look four or five years down the line.
