Vince McMahon should stick to fake wrestling, now he`s trying to resurrect his first XFL failed disaster with a second try! What`s the definition of insanity again? NBC pulled out of its broadcast contract for the XFL after the first season of a two year contract after losing money so who`s going to broadcast their games this time around? Maybe they can get local public-access TV stations to carry their games! Safe to say this will not end well........AGAIN!!!

It would be cool to have a league for all undrafted players. None of these guys that made it to the NFL and couldn't cut it. No one wants to see them. They already failed. Would be nice to see some of these undrafted guys show what they got. Maybe just 2 year contract max, and if you don't get a shot in the nfl, time to use that college degree!

that's fine if you don't want to make Money. The AAF was not very good Football because the Talent wasn't good.

Honestly, i think my idea could potentially make tons of money. It's basically an extension of college football. And they make tons of money. Except it will be more competitive because it'll be guys that almost got drafted, playing together.

The people that go to college games might want to go to these games. Especially if they play around the same area. Just a thought

I agree! IMHO, he is at best the 5th Best QB in the League. When you devote that % of the Team Payroll to one guy, you don't build quality depth.

Injuries can happen to everyone too, especially as they get older

It would have been a bigger mistake to let a franchise QB go.

He carried the team when we had a TERRIBLE O-Line and no rushing attack. He continues to set records and show what a good player he is. He's probably got the best deep throw of any QB's out right now. He's the reason we went to the playoffs last year, and frankly if he's in I believe we can win any game.

And...he's a Seahawk, most likely till the end of his career.

Question is, can he sustain that level of play, as he gets older. Will be a tougher balance to get a decent oline and defense with less money. Instead of using a 2X4, they'll be using a tight rope.
