Were in a football starved country so I think they could get an audience for football. People watch the draft and that's just Rodger Goodell reading names off a paper. Hell people watch the combine and that's just people working out in their underwear doing nonsense drills. Point being if you have a league in the spring time you'll get some type of audience. He'll it beats the NFL network running every Americas game for the 1000 time.
Plus, when would you have it? During the NFL season? Then it would get no views or audience.
Maybe most important is how many players are just completely crippled by season's end? If you make a developmental league, you're just subjecting players to large amounts of beating and unnecessary wear and tear. NFL careers are short-lived with an an average of 3.3 years, so a developmental league most likely wouldn't work like with the NBA or MLB just because of the beating football players take.
If you're not good enough coming out of college, then stay in school. When you graduate, hope to get drafted or go a team's tryout, but a developmental NFL league would be a waste of time and money.
2.) The league would be for players who are on the practice squad or haven't made any teams yet. It would not be for proven players.
