I've been having a thought about something that I would like to see happen in this new CBA.
I know that it's probably crazy and not likely to happen, but I'd like to hear about everybody's thoughts and comments about it.
Well, I know that there is the new football league the XFL.
Well, they have 8 teams. So I thought that it would be cool to have a MLB type of "farm system".
For instance one of the teams would represent the AFC North, East, West and South. It would the same for the NFC of course.
Each team is allowed to have 10 practice squad players.
So the team that represents the AFC North would get the 10 practice squad players from the Bengals, Steelers, Browns and Ravens and they could fill the rest of the team with undrafted free agents and players trying to showcase for the NFL teams.
This would allow NFL practice squad players to get significant reps that they otherwise never would.
All revenue would be split equally among all the teams.
I know this would probably cause the NFL and XFL or a similar league to have similar rules, but it would also allow the NFL to implement new rules to see how it does and improve them before using them in the NFL.
It could also allow young minorities coaches to get their foot in the NFL, by allowing them to coach in the farm league before being hired to coach in the NFL.
It could also allow retired NFL players who wanted to coach the chance to test the waters and see if they like it.
Also it would give fans some more football during the dead months and the players could still be ready for the NFL season and possibly even more better prepared for the season if called upon.
I know it's crazy and would never happen, but I wanted to know if you all would like to see something like this or if again I'm just crazy.
this would require the NFL to purchase the XFL..... which would cost a lot to convince the owner of WWE to part with it.
