Sports media company ESPN and the National Football League are close to finalizing a new media rights deal worth nearly $2 billion per year, Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Daily reported Thursday.

ESPN, a unit of Walt Disney Co, has told the sports league it will increase its annual rights fee 40 percent, meaning it will pay the NFL a record fee of between $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, the industry trade publication said, citing multiple anonymous sources.
