the xfl wouldnt even offer him 100k for the SEASON... most ppl get like 30k. no actual pro athlete is taking that lolHe would be great for the league. Plenty of people think he is a hero for kneeling too, and see him as a victim. This could be a redemption of sorts.
Look at all the shoes he sells.
He’s 4(?) years removed from being an actual pro athlete.the xfl wouldnt even offer him 100k for the SEASON... most ppl get like 30k. no actual pro athlete is taking that lol
he's 32 and would have to do at least a 2 year deal, and the xfl wouldnt release him to let him jump to the NFL if he did well year 1... there's really no upside for him to do it, just injury risk. makes more sense for him to just sling shoes.
putting in all that work for 30k and no chance at going to the NFL? he could just get a normal dayjob and make more or at least equal lolHe’s 4(?) years removed from being an actual pro athlete.
There’s no doubt he would outplay his measly contract in the XFL but a) I don’t think it would lead to an NFL contract and b) he currently has no contract with anyone so it’s nit like he’s losing money if he were to play in the XFL.
Agree.putting in all that work for 30k and no chance at going to the NFL? he could just get a normal dayjob and make more or at least equal lol
he's so old he's never getting back to the NFL so i dont see why he would unless they offered him more money to be one of their premier players
Nothing positive will come from him playing, unless you find a shit show amusingAgree.
If he wants to play (he doesn’t) then he has opportunity.
If he wants to get some additional spotlight, he’ll use the platform.
On an absolute lesser piece, if he wanted any success towards the XFL (doubt he cares) then he could use his name recognition to help the league. Maybe even parlay that into an office job to help get other castoff big names. Could also open up the league revenue into bigger contracts for their players.
Not saying any of this happens at all, just pointing out the positives that could come from him signing to play.
Strongly disagree.Nothing positive will come from him playing, unless you find a **** show amusing
What if he walks away from the XFL with a losing record?Strongly disagree.
XFL seems to not be a s**t show so far but I think that happened week 1 last time.
Tons of positive, for at least the XFL side would happen if he played. Possibly some for him but more likely nothing. Outside injury, nothing negative for him either.
He won’t get signed by the NFL?What if he walks away from the XFL with a losing record?
I dont know what hes making acting victimized and not playing football anywhere at all. But clearly it must be more than the $50,000 the XFL offers. If he plays in a 2nd rate league and sucks, suddenly hes exposed as a player. Goodbye half of his fan base if the true reason he chooses not to play comes out.He won’t get signed by the NFL?
I don’t know, seems like he’d be no worse off than he currently is.
First, he wouldn’t suck in the XFL and if somehow the talent he’s against stumped him, then I guess you’re right he could lose, meanwhile everyone else wins when the followers are exposed as frauds following him based on a talent they THINK he has.I dont know what hes making acting victimized and not playing football anywhere at all.

IMO he doesnt want to play, but staying in the news maintains his relevancy in society and allows him to have a 2nd career alter football.
So you think he will succeed with NFL PS players?First, he wouldn’t suck in the XFL and if somehow the talent he’s against stumped him, then I guess you’re right he could lose, meanwhile everyone else wins when the followers are exposed as frauds following him based on a talent they THINK he has.
Dumbasses count w/l on the QB and even bigger dumbasses do it with a second rate team full of nfl practice squad guys.
I think he’s probably still fast enough and has a strong enough arm to use some PS guys to beat PS guys, yes.So you think he will succeed with NFL PS players?
He was on an NFL SB caliber team and lost
His football career is over
Agree I just think they need a little luck to increase revenue before they can actually afford it.Problem is XFL should try to pay around the same as PS players if they want to get young talent.
a PS player can make up to 132k for the season if they stay there all season
kaep aint playing ball againI think he’s probably still fast enough and has a strong enough arm to use some PS guys to beat PS guys, yes.
from what i've seen mcmahon stands to lose some $350million in the first 3 years of the XFL on the current salaries so yeah... I don't expect the salaries to rise until some investors start buying teams. McMahon can't pay that kind of money on his own.Agree I just think they need a little luck to increase revenue before they can actually afford it.
It would help if “known names” accepted the current rate to bring in fans.
That’s a difficult sell from the XFL standpoint if they’re even trying to.
I read that too. That’s a pretty steep number.from what i've seen mcmahon stands to lose some $350million in the first 3 years of the XFL on the current salaries so yeah... I don't expect the salaries to rise until some investors start buying teams. McMahon can't pay that kind of money on his own.
The NCAA starting to allow players to get paid for their likeness is really gonna cut into that, but yeah, thats really what they need to do. I'm not sure they'll convince any of the high profile guys that are going to premier schools though, they'll probably have more $$ lined up in advertising deals than mcmahon would pay.IF McMahon starts going the route of poaching college guys before NFL eligibility, he could make some noise that way. Not sure how much though because we’re still really talking about HS standouts.
I’d have to dig into more but most guys, even high profile don’t start until at least sophomore if not juniors so I’m not sure how much endorsements they’ll get until they really show something or at least are expected starters.The NCAA starting to allow players to get paid for their likeness is really gonna cut into that, but yeah, thats really what they need to do.

Depends how they do it. I feel like big schools are gonna recruit guys by saying "Hey, we have this (insert business) company that will give you an ad deal as soon as you report to camp worth $xx,xxx/yr."I’d have to dig into more but most guys, even high profile don’t start until at least sophomore if not juniors so I’m not sure how much endorsements they’ll get until they really show something or at least are expected starters.
