ESPN Buys In, But What’s the Cost for Players?

Mike Florio joined the show today to break down the NFL’s media merger mess and why fans should or should not care. From ESPN’s equity stake to potential ripple effects on player contracts, Florio warned it’s not all consumer-friendly. He also questioned Jerry Jones’ “handshake deal” approach with Micah Parsons and explained the strange smelling salts policy—players can bring their own, but teams can’t supply them. On the field, Florio wasn’t too concerned about Stafford’s back, sees Watson at a crossroads, and left the door slightly open for Justin Tucker’s return post-suspension.
