I doubt it would be a full NFL season league. Probably more like 8-12 games. It also probably wouldn't start until the NFL season started. You get your training camps and preseasons out of the way in the NFL, and once the final roster cuts happen, rather than sending guys to go sit on the couch for the year and hope for a call, they get assigned to your minor league team to go play for 8-12 games. 

They get meaningful experience, development, and a paycheck (probably PS level pay?) and the teams get a place to develop guys and store backups who won't have to rush to learn the playbook (presumably your minor league team would run the same general schemes as your NFL team). No more signing guys off the street, having them learn the playbook in 5 days, and then shoving them into action. Just call up a guy from your minor league team and you know he knows the general ides of what you're doing and is already in game shape.
