    Would that give the college the option to revoke incoming freshman's scholarship they just offered to replace the non-drafted?

    Except that a lot of them have hired agents and taken payments or loans against future earnings. I agree that if you have no agent and haven't accepted money, you should get to retain college eligibility. Like baseball.

    Yep, after cashing that check, and this is why around 80% of the NFL players are broke within 5 years of retirement. An 60% of NBA players.

    I would think they would have to. I bet Trev Faulk still regrets not staying another year, I wonder if how pissed he was at whoever lied to him?

    Yes I do find it invasive, but I need this job so I put up with it.

    Saw an article where Sonic Sam took a drug test after Houston released him and he passed. Looks like he's a free agent without having to play through his rookie contract.

    I'm guessing he'll get a hard look by the Jets, Ravens, and Steelers (and probably others).
