Or you go to the XFL for table scraps.

I think most of the fans are just angry at the NFL (especially this fan base)

XFL will go 2 years max.

The Player? The Player?

Do the math. 128 DI FBS college teams fielding as many as 85 players.

That's 10,880 players all dreaming of a professional career.

In 2019 the total number of NFL players making up the final 53 man rosters was 1,696!!!

This leaves 9,184 players without jobs.

That is a yearly number so I would say the potential pool of players is much larger.
