Another week of Programming on the NFL Network during the offseason.
Are they also going to institute a salary cap for veterans in this category who wind up making a roster? Because in many instances, the guys who are going to be out there for this were bounced out of the league because their minimum veteran salary was deemed to be too much to carry.

Pretty much. And if a guy like Tebow participates? ESPN will go wall-to-wall with coverage for at least a month.

Good question. I'm thinking it's aimed at players from the CFL the AFL and SFA's. Just a way to get them all in one place so all the teams have a chance to evaluate them.
I wonder if this will force a change to offseason Practice Squad rules. If it really is for guys buried on Depth Charts, then why not the Practice Squad guys?
Also, will it be a little more "football" centered than the College Combine? If a guy is at the Four Year point, then it stands to reason that the teams can ask them to do more NFL-type stuff. Ooooh! Maybe even some pickup football games!
I want my players tough and hard nose. 8 veterans enter, 1 leaves, Khan throws money at him..championship

A much more interesting week for people who love the scouting combine for college players.

Players coming from other football leagues probably have to do the drills. I assume health exams and drug tests are included. But for the practice squad guys, I am sure it would be a little different.
