FXFL : Fall Experimental Football League

ESPN FXFL

This is something I really hope takes hold. Although it will be starting with 40 players per team and only 4 teams. That is still 160 guys that will be getting coached in NFL style systems with NFL rules.

I would love to see it turn into an 8 team league as they are proposing. It sounds as though this may be the ticket to succeed. Many other leagues have been here and gone. The CFL and Arena League are currently the best options for guys looking to remain in professional football. The problem with both of them is they are very different than the NFL.

I really like how they are looking to end around the time the trade deadline hits. This will allow teams to grab up some of these guys to fill out injury openings or just guys that impressed. Honestly, even if 1 guy from each team gets picked up by an NFL team to start, I feel like that is a success.
