Can ETN still declare for the draft if he feels college football will be cancelled for 2020??


Mar 27, 2020, 1:11 PM

Might want to get paid for sitting around?

Hmm. Interesting question. I’m not sure. Maybe the supplemental draft? Uncharted territory methinks.

Wouldn't think so since the seasons not been canceled. I would be an interesting question, however, if it had.

If college football is cancelled, NFL football will be too

I doubt NFL GM's are going to be excited about handing out huge new contracts for a year which might produce Zero revenue

True, but there will be a draft anyway though. Also, maybe they will want to lock him up on a lesser deal? I agree though that this sounds complicated.

I know this is too practical of a response.

They would have to announce it was cancelled first. No offense to Herbstreit but none of his credentials give him the knowledge to make that call now. I guarantee you everyone involved in College and NFL football is still planning to play as of now. Heck, they are still stating they want to finish Basketball and Hockey in the pros.

If they did cancel now, who is to say that the pros would play(and then get paid.) I am sure if a player was drafted this year, knowing the season wasn't being played would get a signing bonus but I imagine some of the contracts(and definitely any new ones) would have something stating that if the season isn't played most or all of the money isn't getting paid.

A noon August football game in the South is exactly what this virus needs to kick its @ss. I have a hard time myself surviving one of those games. The virus wouldn't stand a chance.

He would gain nothing since the NFL season would also be canceled.

There is no incentive for him to want to do this.

Other than getting paid compared to not getting paid. The NFL players will still be paid.

How much will NFL rookies be paid if the season is canceled?

He couldn't get into the upcoming draft but this situation may qualify him for the supplemental draft which has been used before by players with eligibility issues. The most famous was Cris Carter.
