Now you are onto a different topic altogether, but it's interesting.

 

I think an NFL minor league would be really interesting.  And it would open up the door for NFL teams to bring in and develop talent in a different way.  It would be better for players in general.

 

Think of the QBs that could be drafted and sent to the minors, waiting for the surprises to emerge.

 

The NFL might even pick up a few QB stars that way, with guys no one ever thought would make it.

 

 

 

There's a reason why the NFL will never own or cooperate on a minor/feeder program: not enough money in relation to the liability. CTE is already a problem for the NFL. They aren't going to volunteer for more liability in a minor league.

 

That said, they would not say no to an independent circuit that develops talent. There will never be another 1980's USFL-type league that outbids the NFL for talent. So the NFL has no fear from the new USFL or The Rock's XFL coming in 2023.
