Welcome to Moneyballers, the show where the X’s and O’s meet the dollars and cents.

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

Inside the NFL Agent Game: How Deals Really Get Done

NFL agents are some of the most powerful — and misunderstood — players in the business of football. In this episode of Moneyballers, Zach Quinn pulls back the curtain on how agents actually operate, from structuring contracts and playing hardball with owners to working within the rules of the NFLPA. We dive deep into why agents are crucial in CBA negotiations, why they often clash with teams, and how their strategies compare to those in the NBA and MLB. Along the way, we spotlight recent blockbuster deals — like T.J. Watt’s record-setting contract — to show how the system really works and why guaranteed money is still the NFL’s biggest battleground.

Whether you’re a diehard fan, a numbers geek, or just curious about what happens behind closed doors, this episode is all about understanding the power brokers who shape the modern NFL.
