The Alliance of American Football announced it has suspended football operations, and allowed its players to find homes elsewhere. Several players from the AAF have already found new homes in the NFL, which shouldn't be too surprising considering how much young talent was in the short-lived league.
Several players from the AAF already had jobs in the NFL at one point, but whether it be injuries, lack of playing time or off-field issues, they couldn't keep the job. There's also no guarantee these players last past training camp. NFL rosters expand to 90 at this time of year and have to shrink all the way down to 53.
