À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to Moneyballers, the show where the X’s and O’s meet the dollars and cents. Football might be won on the field, but the decisions that shape the league are often made long before kickoff — in contract negotiations, salary cap calculations, ownership boardrooms, and billion-dollar media deals. We dive into the business side of pro football, from the intricacies of player contracts to franchise valuations, revealing how money drives the strategy behind the game you love.

This isn’t just another recap show. Whether it’s breaking down a blockbuster trade, analyzing the ripple effects of a record-setting contract, or unpacking how new media partnerships will change the way fans watch, Moneyballers connects the dots between the business of the NFL and the action on the field. Episodes drop every Tuesday + Thursday, giving you a fresh look at the weekend’s games through the lens of the league’s economics. Key takeaways each episode:
  • Exclusive insights into the league’s financial strategies
  • Analysis of high-profile trades, contracts, and team-building moves
  • Updates on media partnerships and the NFL’s global expansion
If you’ve ever wondered what makes the NFL the financial powerhouse it is today — and how those boardroom decisions shape what happens on the field — this is the show for you.

  • The NFL's Media Empire Goes All the Way Back to 1961

    The NFL's Media Empire Goes All the Way Back to 1961
    Oct 14 2025
    From black-and-white TVs to billion-dollar streaming rights, the NFL’s rise has always been powered by the screen. In this episode, Zach breaks down how the league turned television into its greatest revenue machine — starting with the 1961 Sports Broadcasting Act that made national TV deals legal, through Monday Night Football’s prime-time revolution, Fox’s audacious 1994 coup, and today’s streaming arms race with Amazon, YouTube, and Netflix.

    You’ll learn why networks overpay for NFL exclusivity, how the current $12 billion-per-year media split works, and what the next era of rights negotiations could look like. Because from CBS in the ’60s to Amazon in the 2020s, one truth has never changed — the money always tells the story.

  • The Dollars, Deals, and Drama Behind NFL Stadiums

    The Dollars, Deals, and Drama Behind NFL Stadiums
    Oct 9 2025
    When an NFL team unveils shiny renderings of its new billion-dollar home, the first question fans should ask is simple: who’s paying for it? In this episode, Zach Quinn digs into the business blueprint behind America’s football cathedrals — how public-private partnerships are structured, why cities agree to fund them, and what those cost splits really look like once the bonds, taxes, and naming rights come into play.

    From the Tennessee Titans’ record-setting $2.1B stadium deal in Nashville to the Commanders’ new D.C. development and the Bears’ ambitious Arlington Heights plan, we break down which projects are thriving, which ones are stalled, and why voters in places like Kansas City are starting to push back. You’ll also hear what makes success stories like SoFi and Mercedes-Benz Stadium tick — and why the “right” deal often has less to do with football and more to do with real estate, leverage, and politics.

    If you love getting behind the construction fence to see how the money really moves, follow us on X, TikTok, and Instagram (all linked in our bio) — and please drop a rating and review to help more fans discover the show. We appreciate the support!

  • Hidden Currency: How Compensatory Picks Shape NFL Rosters

    Hidden Currency: How Compensatory Picks Shape NFL Rosters
    Oct 7 2025
    Ever wonder how a team that loses half its free agents somehow walks into the draft with ten picks? That’s the NFL’s secret stock market at work — compensatory picks. In this week’s episode of Moneyballers, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood tools in roster building: what comp picks are, why the league created them, and how front offices have quietly turned them into goldmines.

    We’ll take you back to the 1990s, when the salary cap and free agency collided, and show how the Final Numerical Value formula determines which teams get rewarded for losing players. You’ll learn why the 2017 rule change that made comp picks tradable changed everything, how front offices like the Ravens and 49ers have mastered the system, and which all-time greats — like Larry Allen and Hines Ward — were once just “extra” draft selections. From formulas and loopholes to case studies and future trends, this episode reveals how the NFL’s smartest teams turn losses into leverage.

    If you geek out over salary caps and draft charts like we do, come check us out on X, TikTok, and Instagram for more deep dives like this — and don’t forget to drop a rating and review. It helps other NFL number nerds find the show!
