NFL Player Enters College Transfer Portal

[tapeANaspirin2it]

There was a recent court ruling that said you could go back to college if you still have eligibility, even if you've played in the pros. We may see a bunch of late round guys decide to go back and try the draft again in 27 rather than sit on a practice squad.

Should Kaleb Johnson think about it?

I could see that happening for players for sure especially if there is some coin involved. They make money on the PS so I am sure that would be a difficult decide for some.

This world is getting more and more bizzaro, man.

If they did that, why would the team that drafted them, or got them under contract, have to lose that player's rights? It seems that they drafted them, so they are in the "minor league" but still a player for that team.

You sure the drafted team doesn’t retain rights to the player should he return to the NFL……..

I guess it would come down to contract that was signed.

Probably most of the re-colleged players are bottom tier and respective teams are ok with them gone.

EDIT: If that questioned player actually made the practice squad, then the respective teams are should retain the rights to him. If the questioned player does not make the PS, then he is free to go fishing or snipe hunting.

NIL money in college can be a whole lot more lucrative than a practice squad salary for many players.

There is a bill in the senate that will end this. Stupid idiots blocked it before the recess, but it should be passed soon..

It will give the NCAA antitrust exemptions that will invalidate all these jackass judicial rulings.

The problem is it also kneecaps conferences a bit so a bunch of dim bulbs are lobbying against it...

Also the NFL should end the practice of letting a player sit out a year and then reentering the draft.. they should have their rights retained for five years or something once drafted...

They're not going to get that bill through Congress...at least not in its current form. The important people in the Big Ten and SEC have big influence on too many members of the government.

What they really need to establish is a collective bargaining agreement at the collegiate level. But I'm not sure how that might be accomplished.

They were down to a handful of votes needed last Friday, and its bipartisan ... its expected to eventually get passed... I think the SEC and Big Ten withdrew their opposition last i checked.. at least one did.. the hold up was lobbiest from schools who want to join a giant conference, cause it limits them to something like 20 teams .. and that wont hold up long...
