NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 12
Revenue Accounting and Calculation of the Salary Cap

Section 6(c)(iv)(D)
Calculation of the Player Cost Amount and Salary Cap

(c)(iv)(D)

No Acceleration Into this Agreement. If one or more of the New Media Contracts extend beyond the term of this Agreement, there shall be no acceleration of revenues into the League Years covered by this Agreement, and the Media Kicker calculation shall cease as of the last League Year covered by this Agreement, provided that the NFLPA reserves the right to challenge whether the revenues for rights for seasons after this Agreement are significantly disproportionate to the revenues for rights for seasons within this Agreement (taking into account the time-value of money and any differences that may exist in the scope of rights for seasons within and seasons after this Agreement) and were negotiated in that manner for a principal purpose of reducing the Media Kicker. If the NFLPA establishes the foregoing by a clear preponderance of the evidence, then the System Arbitrator shall have the authority to reallocate any amounts into the Media Kicker calculation that are found to be improperly attributed to League Years after the end of this Agreement.
