Actually, they were just broke. They would beg other people to buy them drinks. After the last game though they tipped great. Only bad and I mean bad tipper that had money was t.o. bought 150 in shots and tipped $ .50 he wouldn't even sign an autograph for the bartender

I know, I was just being sarcastic. Stafford was always buying shite downtown with his parents money, but you catch some of the other players down there hoping someone will buy them a shot because of their reputation

This. Draft will happen but players will not be able to sign contracts till new CBA is reached. This is what I understand will happen fwiw

The clothing contracts, autograph contracts and other product contracts along with advance money from their agents is what these guys will have til after the CBA is put in place. Until the CBA happens there will be no signing bonus, no pay check and they will not even be able to get play books from the teams to start learning the system. Without the early prep with play bokks and mini-camps it will be tough for many of the new draftees to make much of an impact on the teams that draft them this coming season.

Edit:
This would appear to make all OL and QB's drafted become project players for the future rather than for this coming season. Makes backs, receivers, and DL more important in this years draft.

Not to flame you specifically but most of these cam/au jokes are old and lame. Come at me when you have some new material or at least a zinger

There is actually no way this hypothetical would happen. What Is going on now has no effect on the draft at all.

Teams still carry on with the draft as normal no matter what, but the drafted players can't sign until they work it out.

Nothing will change that.

Another hypothetical, what if the Junior player earn a degree in sports management and decided to represent himself in the NFL?

He technically never signed with an agent did he?
