It shouldn't surprise anyone if and when ESPN's NFL RedZone features advertising. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.

NFL RedZone will reportedly have a new home. The NFL and ESPN have reached an agreement that will place many of the league’s top media holdings with the sports network in exchange for equity in ESPN that is potentially worth billions, according to a report from The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.

While ESPN and the NFL may have agreed to a massive media deal that will give The Worldwide Leader in Sports a major stake in the league, there are still many hurdles to overcome before it becomes official.
