The new tv rights deal with a version of Fox that may not value the product as highly as the previous owners. They may value it more but there are so many unknowns.
People seem to be overestimating the upcoming cap increases. It's only a 1.3% increase to next year, less the year after.
A new TV rights deal is likely to help, but not on the magnitude that makes a $1.3m deal anywhere near good value. And if he does have ratchet clauses, he'll be overpaid for the entire 10 years anyway.
