Disaster Draft
 

Did anyone know about this?

Makes sense, but I didn't know they would have formal rules in place.

National Football League
The National Football League (NFL)'s contingency plan provides for both a "near-disaster" and a "disaster."[1][3] A "near-disaster" is defined as fewer than 15 players on a team being disabled, and a "disaster" is 15 or more.[1]
No special draft would be held for a "near-disaster"; the team would instead get preferential rights on any waivers until the end of the season.[4] If a quarterback is among the fewer than 15 lost, the team would be able to draft up to two[3] quarterbacks from all NFL teams with three available. Each team would be able to protect two, and the drafted quarterbacks would return to their original teams in the following season.[4]
For a "disaster," the Commissioner would determine whether to cancel the team's schedule for the season.[4] If the team's season is canceled, the team would have the first pick in the next regular draft;[1][4] a special draft would also be held in which each team would be able to protect 32 players. If not canceled, the "near-disaster" procedures would be used.[3][1]

I don't see how Herm Edwards didn't qualify as a full blown disaster.

They probably figured any franchise that hired Squirmin Herman deserved what they got.

Must be in effect after what happened at Marshall.

Herm Edwards coaching again would the the death penalty for the entire league

FYP.

So, could we pick Tom Brady or Peyton Manning if we re-signed half a dozen extremely despised former Chiefs players (Like a certain FG kicker) along with an extremely despised QB (cough-Girliebac-cough) and a few others, put them on a plane and have the plane crash down on some deserted Island where they can all survive the crash and live long lives, but not be found by rescuers?


:evil:

• Disclaimer: I'm only joking, if you seriously get offended, board the plane with the players and get some autographs while in flight.:)
