Apple is seen as the “most likely” winner of the rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, with the price tag costing of some $3 billion per year, according to Puck News.
Chris Ciaccia for Seeking Alpha:

“I clearly believe we’ll be moving to a streaming service,” Goodell told CNBC, touting that a move like this would let more viewers watch the games than on Sunday Ticket’s longtime setup on satellite.
The 63-year-old Goodell added that a decision would come in the fall.
