The NFL is a money making machine. The minimum now is 48% goes to players contracts (cap). Direct TV used to pay 1.5 billion for rights to broadcast our of market games. Now, it appears someone in 2023 will pay 2.5 billion or an extra billion which means 408 million to the cap pool.

We keep discussing Bates, Burrow, Higgins and future contracts, yet rarely mention the cap escalating based on 17 game schedule and NFL other income streams to televise games.
Who thinks the cap will be stagnate the next 5 years? I don't, I see huge cap increases which means more money to pay players.
Thoughts? Will our Bengals have to worry about the cap really when time for Burrow to be signed?

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
