What's Johnny Walton up to these days?
This is smart. I think one of the reasons ratings have been down most of this season is that televised games (and NFL related media in general) is frankly kind of hard to find. I think adding more content through this spring foray will really raise the profile of the league. Depending on when this proposed league wraps up, it might be able to maintain interest heading through the summer and put the start of training camp and the regular season on everyone's radar. I only hope that the NFL takes the opportunity that this new league presents to experiment with innovative new ways of delivering their product so that we can access it through more channels than are available now.“@SiriusXMNFL: BREAKING: The NFL will have a spring league starting in the spring of 2017, structured around four squads of veteran free agent players”
To be clear, there’s no more connection between the NFL and the Spring League than there is to the Canadian Football League or any other football league that isn’t tied to the NFL. And, like most football leagues other than the NFL, this one is likely to fail.
I like it already.According to ProFootballTalk, it's not an NFL league.
Close. Two of the teams are suspension players. One for drugs, one for "all other criminal activity"Three of the teams have been announced:
One team will have players coming off injury.
One will have players coming off suspension.
One will have players who are just old.

You just described the replacement games in '87.There needs to be a team for bartenders and construction workers who suddenly realize their dream of playing in the NFL, to be played by a B-list actor in a two-star movie that will play mostly on airplanes and cable channels requiring triple digits on your remote
