I know the AAF is old news.  But some of this info coming out is getting crazy.

Apparently, the AAF views the contracts as league assets that, in theory, can be sold, as the AAF tries to raise money in order to pay its many debts via bankruptcy proceedings.

Sold to whom, you ask? To the CFL, apparently.

 

The AAF is refusing to allow the players to sign with the CFL based on their contracts..which the AAF is not paying them for.  They are keeping their careers hostage to use as a bargaining chip for their bankruptcy proceedings.

I'm curious how this would have worked. AAF best players would be allowed to sign with the NFL. Meaning if you do well in the AAF, and become recognizable, you get to try out at the NFL then possibly take the pay check from the NFL and are gone. However, if you stink in the NFL, or even stuck in the practice squad, you can't move down and play in AAF. In a sport that depends so much on marquee names, how can a league losing its best and most recognizable players every year survive? The AAF was doomed to fail. Period.

If I were a player I'd do as I please and encourage the AAF to sue me if they don't like it.

The AAF is out of money.  They (the AAF) don't have the resources to pursue a bunch of fringe football players who generally don't have any money either (suing someone who broke isn't much a a strategy).

On the flipside, if I were Tepper and there were some players we thought could really make a difference, I'd snap them right up (which he has done) and again, encourage the AAF to sue me if they don't like.  Picking a fight with a guy like Tepper is also a bad strategy.

Screw the AAF. 

What I can't believe is Vince McMahon appears to be ready to go right back down this same rabbit in 2020.

The AAF isn't forbidding anyone from signing NFL contracts.  Just joining any team other than NFL, like the CFL.
