[QUOTE="Techster, post: 982958, member: 360"] I'm not sure what you're trying to say with that example and how it ties into players using college compensation for negotiations. Your QB example is already happening in the NFL, and NFL deals with it by going down the list of available QBs. Josh Dobbs (now with the VIkings) and Joe Flacco (now with the Browns) are prime examples of starting QBs who were sitting at home to start the season. The "4th tier" you're trying to use doesn't exist, and can't exist for all the reasons I listed. Did Dobbs or Flacco go back to college to play because they used college as leverage for more money? No, because it's not possible. What happened? They stayed home until someone called them. NFL didn't dip into the college ranks, because they can't. You know how many QBs that are NFL level are still sitting at home? Way more than there are NFL roster spots for QBs. Cam Newton could still probably play, and he wants to, but no team wants him. The closest example to what you're saying is a college player with eligibility left trying to negotiate with the NFL. It can't happen directly, but you can put stuff out to the media. Caleb Williams at USC for example. He famously said he would return to USC if he didn't get drafted by the team he wants, and he didn't get ownership interest in a team (even though that's against League rules). You know what the NFL is going to say? OK, go back for your last year. Let's see how that works out for you next year when you don't have the option of returning. [/QUOTE]
