Twitter signs multi-year deal with NFL

SAN FRANCISCO - The National Football League said it signed a multi-year partnership with microblogging site Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) to deliver video and other content to NFL fans on a daily basis.

The partnership expands on the NFL's existing partnership with Twitter since 2013, and Twitter users will now have access to more official NFL content than in the past.
