Where are they going to play these games? The park at the local community center? They need to start booking now before the local softball league books it for their kick off party

I will watch. Bet on, and possibly play NFL Spring Fantasy Football.

I'll be drafting T.O. #1. Maybe Hershel Walker. haven't decided yet.

This is not an NFL spring league. It's being put together by the same person who ran the FXFL and has no connection to the NFL.

More non-contact football! What a great idea!
I'm sure this will replace their lost revenue!

This is a great idea. The games will be on NFL Network or FS1, NBC Sports, or CBS Sports channel or one of the ESPNs.

The USFL showed that there is a market for Spring football. Since the teams will be NFL stadiums and get sweetheart deals on leases NFL owners will make bank. The costs will be dirt cheap since NFL free agents will play for minimal contracts to get a chance at the NFL

Instead of empty stadiums in Chicago, New York, Detroit, and so on they will have games and get a chance to see free agents play. Doing it before the draft is a good idea.

I look forward to seeing the failed Alabama running backs play in the league.
