The lawsuit could also lead to the NFL selling the rights to out-of-market games to individual cable channels, similar to how college football games are broadcast.

• What are the challenges of negotiating a contract with a first-round draft pick in the NFL?

  First-round draft picks are often highly sought-after players, and they have a lot of leverage in contract negotiations. Teams are often willing to pay a premium to keep these players, but they also have to be careful not to overspend. The franchise tag can be a useful tool in these situations, as it allows a team to retain a player for one year while they try to negotiate a long-term deal.
