Bigger than that, the NFL exists on an antitrust exception under the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. "Antitrust Implications: Under the Sherman Antitrust Act, the NFL and its teams are vulnerable to antitrust claims if they unreasonably restrain competition or engage in monopolistic practices."  No owner is going to risk the amount of money they get from their ownership, to slip their star player a couple extra million.
