Other professional football leagues have existed, but they came to be when NFL salaries were stagnant and players could be lured to other organizations with higher paychecks. If the NFL is going to give Kirk Cousins $30+ million every year I can't see the XFL actually getting top-level talent. Add in the fact that fans are probably going to want to see players get injured and concussed on every play and only former players on the dole are going to show up to play. I mean, honestly...who is the best NFL player you can picture leaving the NFL in order to play in the XFL?
I will say that Vince McMahon will do this in order to dupe a bunch of investors into covering the costs and it won't even matter if the league sinks because other people will be holding the bag.
True,
But there is a ton of players every year left out in the cold when it comes to NFL contracts. Plus Vince could find a lot of future wrestlers there Some of these vets getting vet min and younger players could decide to go straight there..
With the Arena league Folding you have that pool of players as well. There are guys out there.. Its not gonna start at the level of comp the NFL is for sure. But doesn't mean it wouldn't be fun to watch lol.
As of now though still just something floating out there I don't know how far along they are with all the planning and finding investors/cities
