Taylor Sheridan's New Deal Is Big Middle Finger To Woke Hollywood, Worth Staggering Amount Of Cash

Taylor Sheridan might eventually have the cash to buy an NFL team if he wants to down the road.

The "Yellowstone" creator sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry when he decided to ditch Paramount for NBCUniversal.

The man responsible for the Dutton universe has released multiple hits with Paramount. It seemed like the relationship could continue for decades to come.

Nope.

Sheridan is ditching David Ellison's company for a fresh start at NBCUniversal, and he's getting paid an outrageous amount of money for the move.

Taylor Sheridan's new deal is worth a staggering amount of money

The Wrap reported that Sheridan's deal is worth more than $1 billion in guaranteed money over five years. The TV portion of the deal starts in 2028.

An unnamed NBCUniversal insider told The Wrap, "In success, if he’s doing what he did for Paramount, that’s an extraordinarily great number for everybody."

Folks, that's not just the kind of money that makes you rich. Signing a deal worth more than a billion dollars over five years is the definition of reaching "f**k you" levels of money.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Sheridan and Paramount CEO David Ellison had immediate problems revolving around suggestions about shows and a project that wasn't greenlit.

Puck reported that Ellison's decision with executives Sheridan worked with also caused issues. In total, it seems like it was too much for Sheridan to stick around, and he'll now be leaving.

While it certainly appears there's plenty of drama surrounding Sheridan's exit, his deal being worth $1 billion is a big win for common sense and it's a massive middle finger to the wokesters in Hollywood.

Sheridan might be the person most responsible for returning entertainment back to sanity. For years, the industry pumped out woke garbage.

Then, Sheridan came along with "Yellowstone." The neo-Western put up insane ratings, printed money, captivated the attention of regular people across the country and the rest is history.

He's rapidly expanding the "Yellowstone" universe, has several other great shows and studios and networks have attempted to replicate his success. So far, every attempt to do so has failed in spectacular fashion.

Sheridan is a one-of-a-kind talent, and when you're generational, you get paid. He'll now pocket more than $1 billion over the next year.

To put it in perspective, Dak Prescott has the highest average salary in the NFL right now at $60 million a year.

Sheridan will earn more than double that annually with his new deal.

Give people what they want and you'll get paid for it. Props to Sheridan for the massive new deal, and I have no doubt he's going to keep crushing it. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
