It would be interesting if someone did make a play for the license. Basically starting to build a football from the ground up now, releasing a generic game the last year of the exclusivity agreement to gain some public momentum. Of course that is unrealistic because no company could make an investor want to take that financial risk, but it would be an interesting strategy.

I do wonder though, with the success of MLB the Show, if a first party studio would make a football game like San Diego Studios does for Sony. I'm not sure if the current agreement prohibits something like that, but that could be interesting as well.
