For veteran free agents

According to ESPN. What's the point of that? Money I know, but why veterans who aren't good enough anymore?

I'm guessing that Tebow

will be walking around the house in cleats by late Jan/early Feb.

This has been tried time and time again. Unless the NFL actually invests in a D-league whose purpose is development, it will fail.

You are right. They had a good thing going with NFL Europe but they cut that out for whatever reason- probably money. I think a spring football league in the South could work out better with the NFL backing it and using it solely for development purposes.

It's also at the Greenbrier, where the Saints train. Another tie between Benson and the NFL after he led the new stadium build at the Hall of Fame.

Finding decent talent to watch won't be their problem. But who's going to coach the teams? No way the NFL lets assistants participate and I don't see anybody in college taking such a chance. Maybe they can target coaches that recently got slapped with show causes. I think that market is about to be flooded with names...

I always thought it would be interesting if the NFL and the major college programs would create a spring development league. They would play on the campuses and have "alumni" conferences. The spring Egg Bowl would be neat with players that would have never played against each other in college due to age differences.

Bring back the XFL and HeHateMe

Just be ready for what happens when Tottenham Stadium is ready for the Jaguars in the 2018-2019 season. Huge money to follow.
