Less than that. Don't forget ESPN pays the NFL 300-400 million a year for rights to all NFL media (NFL Films etc,) in order to show highlights all week and feed their numerous discussion shows.

Their playoff scenario is even worse. They have no say so in what playoff game they show opening weekend. They essentially get the wild card game that CBS or FOX don't want with the price already fixed. So this past January they paid 100 million dollars for the rights to broadcast a playoff game quarterbacked by Connor Cook and Brock Osweiller.
