À propos de cette écoute

 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.

    • Which Holiday Does the NFL Like the Most? Hint: Not Halloween

      Which Holiday Does the NFL Like the Most? Hint: Not Halloween
      Sep 11 2025
      The NFL doesn’t just own Sundays—it owns holidays, too. In this episode of Moneyballers, we’re breaking down which holidays the league values most when it comes to scheduling, TV rights, and revenue. From Thanksgiving’s historic triple-headers to Christmas Day’s growing influence, we’ll pull back the curtain on why certain dates carry more weight in the NFL’s financial playbook.

      We’ll compare how games on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and even Halloween stack up against one another when it comes to viewership, advertising rates, and the league’s long-term strategy. You’ll hear why Thanksgiving remains the king, why Christmas is rapidly climbing in value, and how the NFL thinks about slotting games to maximize attention and dollars during the busiest times of the year.

    • Breaking the Barrier: The Year 2nd-Round Picks Got Fully Guaranteed Deals

      Breaking the Barrier: The Year 2nd-Round Picks Got Fully Guaranteed Deals
      Sep 9 2025
      For decades, the second round of the NFL Draft came with a catch: you’d get drafted high enough to be a priority player, but not high enough to demand the kinds of guarantees first-rounders received. That changed this year. For the first time in league history, second-round picks pushed for — and got — fully guaranteed contracts. And the ripple effects could change how teams value every draft slot moving forward.

      In this episode, Zach Quinn takes you inside the money game: how the rookie wage scale was designed to keep teams in control, why guarantees matter more than ever, and what this year’s second-round “holdout wave” means for the next CBA fight. From Sam Bradford’s infamous $78M rookie deal to Shedeur Sanders’ $40M slide into the fifth round, this is the story of how financial leverage at the draft table decides careers before a single snap is played.

      The Financial Machine Behind Week 1 in the NFL - Gambling, International Games, and More
      Sep 4 2025
      The NFL is back — and Week 1 isn’t just football, it’s big business. In this episode of Moneyballers, Zach breaks down why opening weekend is one of the league’s most valuable assets. From billion-dollar TV rights and record ad rates, to sky-high ticket sales and luxury suite revenue, to the explosion of legal sports betting, Week 1 is a financial machine like no other. We’ll also dive into how player contracts and roster guarantees hinge on being active for kickoff, why preseason money doesn’t come close to regular season dollars, and what this all means for the future of the NFL schedule and international expansion.

      If you’ve ever wondered why networks spend billions to air these games — or why owners are pushing for 18 regular season contests — this episode lays it all out. And if you’re enjoying the show, the best way to support it is by leaving us a rating and review on your podcast app. It helps more fans find Moneyballers and keeps us breaking down the business of the NFL all season long.
