  on Supreme Court Says Antitrust Law Applies To The NFL; No Exclusive Licensing Allowed
  I don't think the NFL has an exclusive contract on purpose. There used to be several games that used the NFL Logo. It is just that EA is about the only one left that can afford the licensing fees that the NFL asks, as well as the Licensing fees from the Players Union (NFLPA) that allowqs them to use the names and likenesses of the actual players.
