If they are drafted by a team they do not want to join, they can either request a trade or sit out a full season and get drafted again next year.  They cannot play for another team that season.

Assuming you mean professionally: if you don't get drafted, then you go to a team's open tryouts.  There, you try out for scouts and they decide if you have talent.

Free agency is a human/workers right the in USA.  Was not started by football players, and no one person has been given credit for it.  The term began to be used in in the NFL in 1992/93 season, when the players were able to collectively get it into a collective bargaining agreement with the club owners.  Anyone not drafted, or under contract is considered a free agent, there are two types restricted and un-restricted.  Here is a link that describes it in some detail.

It would be harder to get into the NFL because of all the money that they throw down at the player.  The AFL doesn't throw as much money down as the NFL.

Unfortunately in a private league there doesn't have to be a good reason.  I was in a league where the comissioner dropped the top three teams in the satandings by releasing all their players.  He did this one month in.  Then with a month to go one of the other teams was well in front so first the comissioner locked him from doing anything to his team, and when that didn't work he benched all his players.  Needless to say the comissioner and his buddy were in the finals with the commisioner's team winning.  Just hope you get in with an honest commisioner.  Best way is start the league yourself or get in a friend's.  Failing that you can stick with a public league.  Most private league commisioners are good ones though.

U make a team, 1st without any player. then u get in a league with other teams & managers. After that, u should draft players; also u can get ur team drafted (auto draft).\nur scores are based on real players. it means u urself don't get scores, but the players on ur team do it by their performance in real matches. just u should change ur roster, drop & add players and trade with other teams.\nThere are 2 types of leagues: custom & public. C league is made by people & has chosen & different settings, But P league is made automaticly & has constant settings. \n-all are free !!!!!-Good Luck

Probably not. The NFL is to tuff of a league for just anybody to win it all. I'm from Minnesota and if you can't win it after going 15-1 in a season. I don't see it coming for a long long time.

I would say it's pretty much impossible, since the NCAA is kinda like the minor leagues of the NFL.  That's where the players get the experience of playing against top competition and the pool where the NFL teams pick their players from.  I think the rule now is that you have to have been removed from HS for at least three years before you are eligible for the draft.  Just look at what happened with Maurice Clarett after he pretty much got kicked out of Ohio State...

well in collEge football is MUCH different than in highschool, and you cant just "play" for a team.  there are tryouts and you have to make the team to play on it.

You will have to pick a new one next year. Sorry! I did fantasy NBA, and my brother did fantasy NFL, and we learned that we will have to start a new team next season.

The NFL is truly the Jeckyl and Hyde League!   There is a lack of consistancy because of several things.  First of all. . . many NFL players are just self serving egotistical gheto scumbuckets that care only about their "image" and not the team or game itself.  T.O. (team obliterater) owens. . . Chad (I am a total moron with my GAY endzone dances) Johnson. . . and etc.  The REAL football in this country is played on SATURDAY's by college teams.  The sunday NFL game is boring and mundane.    Free agency and players leaving one team for more money or press elswhere also have created a league of mediocre teams.  Look at pittsburg. . .. . from super bowl champs to total chumps!!!!   Look at the play off race. . . . a bunch of 5-6 teams still in the hunt!   The college BCS system is very flawed but at least every game counts!!!  In the NFL all you have to do is make the playoffs as a 8-8 team. . . get hot and catch a few breaks for a few games. . . and blamo!!!  You are super bowl champs!!     As a result. . . . anything can happen anyweek.. .. . P.S. . . . . Notre Dame and the Chicago Bears both bite the big schwantzola!!!

Because of the draft system, the worst teams have the rights to the best players.  This is to encourage parity and better competition.  The NFL doesn't want eternal bottom dwellers, so teams like the Cardinals and Lions get the opportunity to draft fine young promising players like Leinert every year until they improve.\n\nActually, Leinert dropped all the way to the 10th pick overall, so several NFL teams felt there were better players available. Or perhaps they were unwilling to pay Matt the big bucks they thought he would ask for.

Not under contract; able to sign with other teams.\n\nFree agents may be limited by conditions placed on them by their current team.  A team who wants them may have to throw cash or draft picks in for them.\n\nUFAs can sign with anyone, without restrictions.\n\nThey have to do so by Dec 1, though, or they can't play that season.

Once the league is made and the draft is completed you can't delete or restart that league. If you really want that league then you can do an offline draft and then drop the players and pick up the guys that you drafted and make trades with the players that can't be dropped but that would be hard so i would suggest making a new league

Remember, that the decision to even become available to be drafted is up to the player. Therefore, as long as he abides by the 3-year rule agreed upon by the NCAA and the NFL, a college player has the ability to NOT declare himself eligble to be drafted.\n\nThis idea would definitely turn the football community upside down. This would allow a player to skip the draft and be signed by a team for his liking. However, the competition of draft day increases the amount of money paid. Walk-on players and practice players get paid much less than the household name stars of today.\n\nTo sum it up, there is no rule that says "If you're a top collegiate athlete, than you must go into the NFL Draft." The NFL cannot prevent a player from going into business out of college, as well as, they cannot prevent him from trying to walk on to a football team.\n\nHope this helps!

If your league has already drafted, you cannot delete your team. If it's a live draft league, you cannot delete your team if the live draft room has already been opened. If it's an autodraft league, you should be able to delete it any time before the draft. \n\nIf you're still having a problem, contact yahoo help.
