It would be a big step to commit larger amounts for as long a period as 8 years - especially on a minority sport such as NFL which only runs for a limited amount of time a year. Of course it may not have to pay much to get the rights from Sky.

Their current EPL deal can be covered by people taking out a free months trial so hardly makes them much money.

Sunday Ticket is a rights package in the US itself. At the moment Directv are paying something in the region of 1.5 Billion a year for it and it’s the one most speculated to be attracting the interest of the tech giants in the US.
