How do you convince a player to tank for a draft pick?

His livelihood is on the line every snap. Like JPP and Tuck are going to say, "Sure, I'll go sackless so we can land Clowney or Bridgewater. Never mind that I might ruin everything I've worked for my entire life."

yeah I think tanking is a more organic process. Eventually players just stop buying in that they can win with a certain regime.

In the NBA they are guaranteed contracts and even role players are getting paid handsomely...plus a lot of those guys just seem to be collecting a paycheck anyway. In the NFL you can be gone tomorrow. If I'm a 4th cornerback, wr, rotational front 7 guys, or vet trying to get one last bit of guaranteed money there is no shot in hell I'm tanking.
