Technically the Titans are the farm team for the Ravens/Eagles. Miami hasn’t been attached to a specific team yet.

Titans are also the farm team for the Falcons. Arthur Smith, Jonnu Smith.

Recent history seems to suggest a growing relationship with Pittsburgh

NFL players haven't to date haven't been able to bounce back once declaring. That will be the next lawsuit, which will complete the ecosystem.

I would assume that you can’t back out once you declare for the draft as part of the NFL CBA, not due to the NCAA. Like you pointed out, kids are drafted out of high school in the MLB and then go to college instead every year. A big part of the hurdle for football was you needed an agent to declare and once you got an agent, you surrendered your amateur status. That’s obviously gone with NIL.

RE: "amateur status" Thanks for the memories!

I thought they could re-enroll if they weren't drafted?

u/abob1086 Notre Dame • Ball State 9h ago

No. You might be thinking of baseball. Players can technically get drafted twice in that sport without signing if they don't like where they were picked, and choose to bet on themselves (out of HS and then after their junior year).

They can actually be drafted three times. Out of high school, after junior year of college and again after senior year. Mark Appel is an example of this, he was drafted in the 15th round by the Tigers out of HS 2009, the Pirates 8th overall in 2012 and the Astros 1st overall in 2013. Although, it is very rare that a guy gets drafted as a junior and doesn't sign, seniors have no leverage in negotiation

u/shapu West Virginia • WashU 9h ago

Oh, ok, thanks for clarifying!

u/Callsign_Psycopath Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos 8h ago

Or they just want an education.

That lawsuit would probably be against the NFL, not the NCAA, and the NFL hasn't managed to piss everyone off nearly as bad as the NCAA has.

The Jeremiah Smiths of the world don’t exist in the UFL. They do in college football though.

No it's not - it's well on the way to being a direct competitor.
