[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1453470, member: 619279"] They're all on $250K non-guaranteed 3 year contracts that are paying them $70k this year, $80k next and $100k the 3rd. And they have outs for the NFL, but not for the XFL, which is supposedly starting back up next year. I just don't see why it would become a minor league NFL. I've seen the on field product described as "much worse than major college football". And the NFL is already benefiting from the NCAA running a free minor leagues for them. There's really no reason for the league to exist if it doesn't make money, and at this large of a scale with no secondary TV rights money coming in, I can't see how they're going to make money.
