NFL contracts with their media distributors currently goes through the 2033 season, and since Disney CEO Bob Iger (DIS) recently announced he will be taking an "expansive" look into traditional TV assets, Laura Martin, Needham & Co. Senior Media & Internet Analyst, believes that the NFL has a lucrative opportunity to buy ABC from the media giant.

She joins Yahoo Finance to discuss her reasoning as well as the recent news of Nelson Peltz's decision to increase Trian Management's position in Disney.

Martin argues the NFL needs "to take a stronger hand in making sure linear TV survives or they're not going to have alternate bidders in 2032 and they're not going to have team values because the team values come from broadcast TV license fees," especially as media conglomerates move further into non-linear streaming.
