Here's an entertaining link explaining yet another number behind EA's HD sports franchise costs. This particular cost would also be identical, no matter what platform the title is on.

You don't give up, do you?   That's a multi-year license for rights to the NFLPA.   That cost is amortized across 9 SKU's (3 curent gen home console, 2 last gen home console, 2 portables, PC and mobile).
