They had a nice run but seriously Europeans care as much about football as we do Soccer

Yeah thats too bad, they should start up a farm league just like baseball for each NFL team. Run it during the offseason and keep it in the USA and Canada.

I sgree with this line of thinking. The NFL Europe if nothing else was a great developmental league. We definately need some sort of "farm" system.

Hopefully some of these younger players decide to play in the CFL for a few seasons first. There may be a high player turnover rate as NFL teams grab these players up, but more talent to the CFL is always a good thing.

If anything it was just a place for some college players who weren't drafted to go and use as a minor league system. Still, they had a good run.

The NFL should approach the CFL and attempt to get them to change their format to a more conducive version of the game with theirs, even if they use an NCAA format... With NFL Europe gone, that means a lot more talent will be headed North to play and this could be a great chance to get both leagues working together while also setting fealers out for how a franchise would do in various Canadian provinces and maybe even one Alaska. It might actuely be a good thing for the game in the long run... On both sides of the boarder.
