What if football is cancelled?

Wrote: Personally speaking, I think the NFL season has to be conducted in some manner in order to establish a draft order for next year.  Otherwise, I have no idea how they would numerically list the draft order --- There is no way Cinci should get back to back 1st picks just for sucking in 2019.

Yes, college kids would have another year of eligibility if the season were cancelled -- obviously, some could opt for the draft as it is based  on being 3 years removed from high school or something like that so the off year counts in that manner.

The best part of the season being cancelled would be having the players face the reality of no being paid prior to the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations for the new NFL long term contract.  Imagine them going 2 years without being paid and us fans realizing we don't want to pay $100 to go to games anymore.  I'd love to see drastic changes the lower salaries -- the people have the power.  If the demand dies, so do the salaries.

The NFL would possibly do something to the what the NHL did for their draft in 2005. The season was not played so they invented a lottery based off previous seasons to determine lottery order.

Teams were weighted based on playoff appearances in the last three completed seasons and first overall picks in the last four drafts. Three lottery balls each were assigned to teams which had not qualified for any of those playoffs and received no first overall picks in that period. Teams which had one playoff appearance or first overall pick in those years were given two lottery balls. All other teams received one lottery ball.

If the NFL did something similar the Jags would get two lottery balls since we made the playoffs in 17.
