Edit: That should have been "must" see tv, but consider the "muse see TV" as kind of a Freudian slip,

 

At first blush, this could be a valuable avenue for players who were discarded quickly or toiled in training camp at a deep position. No matter how well-stocked a team's personnel department is, it's impossible to keep an eye on every eligible player cycling through the system.

 

On second thought, with the existence of plenty high-profile big name free agents out there looking for re-entry, or simply a re-introduction into the public eye, the league will need to be careful it doesn't turn into a reality show.

 

 

 

 

Push the draft back and enter a vet combine.  I don't know whether to be happy or shake my head.  I guess it's a good idea for the guys falling through the cracks.  Come March, I'll be so stir crazy and tired of rehashing the same old potential draft picks, like the NFL addict that I am, I will probably watch.

Not sure if I'd watch it.

This is a repackaging of what has been tried with NFL Europe.  I think there is a market for it but it is a lot smaller than what they were going for with NFLE and must be timely placed.  If you have some training camp stuff, scrimmages and some summer football games/combines you might be able to draw some dollars.  Not much from a gate but maybe tv contracts.
