The key is the players Deiter, not the schedule of when the games are. They're not going to be able to lock up starting level dudes in the NFL after a long NFL season, because teams would not allow it plus the players need their offseason. And they claim to not be a dev league right? Which is a missile across the bow to the NFL that they want to be competition.
So idk man but if I'm an investor I'm wondering what their end game is. Maybe they need to embrace the dev league concept, that's all I'm saying.
Where do they say they aren’t a developmental league? Of course they are, for players, coaches and even officials.
At a max salary of 50k they won’t be competing for talent with any league.
With “player safety” being a driver for the league, I imagine they will allow any free agent to play provided they meet some sort of guideline as to how much playing time they had. Big benefit to practice squad players.
Also one other thing I heard, was that the teams will be assembling their teams from local talent which also emphasizes developmental.
The opportunity is there imo, as long as the league doesn’t try to compete. Like the usfl
