Commissioner Roger Goodell announced future NFL Drafts will take place in May, a move aimed at extending the offseason through the lull period that invariably emerges after the drafts conclusion. The NFL once was a September-February business, covering half the calendar year. Efforts to make the NFL a year round business have paid extraordinary dividends.
Even casual fans are drawn into the annual NFL draft, which was moved to Primetime to accommodate TV audiences. The NFL Combine has lure, with fans talking 40 times & hot QB prospects around the water cooler. The merger of sports & entertainment was inevitable, but under Commissioner Goodell it's catalyzed significantly.

DREW BREES BENEFITS FROM SAINTS "BOUNTY-GATE"; $100 MILLION DOLLAR DEAL
Drew Brees gets a new deal from the New Orleans Saints that sets new NFL record; $100 million dollar contract with $60 million guaranteed.
After Roger Goddell made his own NFL history with the punishment of the Saints organization do to the "bounty-gate" scandal, the Saints decide to make history of their own by signing their franchise quarterback to record breaking deal. Drew Brees was very vocal about not starting the season under the franchise tag before the suspensions were levied against the GM, head coach, and players; but the talk got even louder once the hammer came down.
The Saints faced a season of turmoil after the punishment was laid down. Ironically, now a quarterback benefits from the Saints defense targeting to injure quarterbacks. Brees himself was a victim of rough play in the last year of his Chargers contract that led many experts to say he would never play at a high level again. He was damaged goods. It was that reason alone that the Saints were able to take a chance on Drew that paid off with him leading every quarterback passing statistical category over the last 3 years, plus the franchise's first Super Bowl Championship. That injury was the reason Brees knew he could not start this season under a franchise tag.
The poker game between the Saints and Brees took an unfair turn in his favor when Roger Goddell put the mirror behind the Saint's chair. The suspension of the GM, head coach, and assistant head coach left the Saints without any leadership. The deal had to get done at any cost. Is anyone worth $100 million dollars? Probably not since statistics for players receiving max deals show that the hind sight is 20/20 when weighing out the player's performance in the latter years of the deal. Drew could have set-out a few games and would have forced the Saints to rename the Super Dome, but he wanted to get back to his team to give them some leadership. That you can't put a price on.
