What you need to know:
The monetary income per game for the people in charge of the networks in an NFL game is between 75 and 100 dollars
When Dewey said: “The future is today, did you hear old man?“he was absolutely right and that is, modernity is fully entering the NFL to make some aspects of the grids much more efficient.
Well The NFL will do some electronic measurement tests during the preseason and the objective is that it does work, all stadiums have this technology… that includes in other countries as well.
What is electronic measurement? We will explain in detail later, but basically It is the technology that could replace the people who move the chains in the field.

Are the chains going? And what is electronic measurement
For now, this is just a test that the NFL will do during the preseason and in fact, This technology has already been used preliminarily at MetLife Stadium (home of Jets and Giants) and at the Hard Rock (Dolphins home).
Jonathan Jones de CBS reported that the NFL will launch an optical tracking device that will help mark yards, that is, the distance the ball traveled since it left the play.
Its approval for the 2024 season lies in the positive reviews it has during its tests. in preseason, but it is not an official security.
But be careful, the possible arrival of this technology to the NFL I wouldn’t take the job away from the people who move the chainsbecause they will remain within the grid.

The NFL’s plan with those who move the chains
Knowing that his position is not in danger at all, at least for the moment, The NFL wants to support those in charge of moving the chains and that is why he will not remove them from the field.
Sources told CBS that the networks will be the support of the decisions made with the electronic measurement and They are intended to be a reference point like the yellow and blue lines in transmissions. of TV.
Although all balls have a chip, the technology that the NFL will implement will not use that data and will focus on optical tracking, similar to the “Hawkeye” used in tennis.
Even though everything works perfectly during the preseason, that does not mean that we will have it no matter what in 2024, because first, They must ensure that all stadiums have this technique.
So it is likely that could be delayed until 2025So, the NFL is taking a giant step towards technology, seeking to limit human error… let’s see how it goes.
