If done the right way, I think this could actually be a good thing. One beneficial way of partnering with the NFL i could see would be loaning out practice squad players (like in professional soccer) to FXFL (or w/e) teams so they can actually get some game action rather than just going through practice motions and staying on the sideline

 

thoughts?

how are they going to get good players for $1000 a week?

 

Something tells me getting players isnt going to be a problem. Men want to compete, and Ive definitely heard my fair share of inter-mural sports gods at this point. Well now if those dudes think they got what it takes, they can just show up and try out. I'll bet some will play regardless of the $1000.

This is right on. If I could play semi professionally I would. It's not at the top level but still fun

This might be a good way to develop talented young players that didn't get drafted but that's about it.

Players that couldn't hack it in the league can't rely on $1,000 a week because $52,000 ain't going to feed the kids, support the wife, pay for the house, water, electricity, and taxes etc.

Wha???

What's the question?

If you're taking care of yourself $52K is more than enough. If you're trying to take care of a wife, two kids, a house, car, bills, etc...

Good luck... and enjoy paying house and car payments til your 80.

Not to mention, there are safer jobs where you can get paid $700 a week.

Median household income is $51,000. That's household not individual.

Those statistics are eschewed due to single people living by themselves working at McDonald's/gas stations/ food lion etc...

My guess is that most people that have career on this site make over 52K a year and their job isn't near as dangerous as playing football for $1,000 a week.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
