If I’m not mistaken, these players are eligible to play in college per court orders. Why didn’t they just go sign with a G6 team?
Good question.
I would argue that they can sign with a G6 team if there is one willing to sign them to include paying them.
IMO, it would strengthen the players argument if they signed with a college team for whatever money they could get (in order to support themselves) and also continue to sue the SEC for whatever the difference is between what the players are making at the G6 level versus what LSU had agreed to pay them.

Can’t play in college because you’re an nfl player. Can’t play in the nfl because you’re a college player.
Sorry class of 2022, everyone hates you for no reason apparently.

Screwed both sides.
The game is the game but the game needs an identity.
Meanwhile, they should sue like hell.

Whatever you want to call this memo they sent out...they separated two players from everyone else and are selectively keeping them out of the NFL this year because they "went back to LSU" even though they were never rostered with LSU, signed with LSU, etc.
I submitted a suggestion as to why the two players are being singled out earlier in the thread.
As for keeping them out of the league this year, I don't agree with that.
The players said that had they known they had another year of college, then they would have stayed in college. They sued for it. They won - so far. The NFL is basically agreeing with them.
For the 2026 season, the two players in question are college players and cannot be signed by NFL clubs.
At least that is how I understand it.
As for not being signed/rostered by LSU, that's the SEC's fault.

There are deadlines involved. They were enrolled at LSU in time to be added to the roster pending the outcome of the court case. Once LSU made it official that they would not be added, it was too late for them to just go somewhere else.
It's possible they may be able to find another school with part-of-term enrollment and roster space that will take them, but that's not a guarantee.
Seems to me that the NFL has done them a favor by specifically stating that they are not eligible to return to the NFL this season.

Does a G6 team give them the best opportunity to showcase for NFL free agency next year and financially benefit them? No.
It’s better than signing to a school whose conference made a rule not allowing you to play.

Two months later, we’ve given everyone directly prior to you an extra year of eligibility in the past and are now giving everyone after you an extra year of eligibility. Good luck, sue us (NCAA) and if we lose, we’ll get the conferences involved to make up new rules on the fly. Thanks for your service incoming class of 2022, we pride ourselves on treating our students athletes with compassion and fairness.

This will sound harsh: They didn't make an NFL team. It is likely time for them to do what almost all other college football players do after college - go get a job and begin the next phase of their lives.

I understand that. Seems like there wasn’t great communication between them and LSU. They won their court case and LSU still decided not to roster them.

Effectively putting them in limbo due to no fault of their own and to cover up mistakes of others..
They can't go to college because they were in the NFL and then they can't go to the NFL because they were in college coming from the NFL

Wut? They are seeking the legal RIGHT to do something. The NFL doesn't get to remove another right just because they don't like them. There's no legitimate basis for excluding them from the NFL.
They say "participated with a college team". What does that even mean? You could say NFL players going back and working out at their colleges could be deemed "participating" with them.

SEC says they’re pros.
NFL says they’re not.
This is why the whole debate is stupid and exactly why a judge had to intervene

They cannot go through draft again. When their ban expires they are free agents and can go anywhere. Looks like that ban is for this season only.

Honestly you just have to feel bad for these dudes. This makes no fricking sense.
Screwed by the NCAA, screwed by the SEC, screwed by the NFL.
And for what? Why?
They’re going to make so much money just chilling and suing people atp.

Was he providing advice to Harris and Wright? I mean he did fire and sue Drew.
Before you respond, this time check to see who responded to you and ask yourself, is this dude being serious?

A lot of players didn't make NFL teams this year. But it's entirely possible a few will be signed to NFL teams this fall. The NFL is prohibiting UDFA who were waived by an NFL team in training camp, thus making them a FA again, from signing with a NFL teams for reasons I'm not quite sure as the CBA doesn't appear to expressly prohibit it.
Whether you like it or not, there is a marketplace in college football now. While technically not a "job", why wouldn't a guy want to earn tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars ancillary to playing college football if the opportunity was there? Is it simply to placate fans who "don't like it"?
