Alliance of American Football founders Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian sent a letter to NFLPA-certified agents this week — a copy of which Pro Football Weekly has reviewed — which outlines a financial structure for player salaries and how the league plans to deal with players who receive NFL interest after joining.
The eight-team league, which they’re calling to “The Alliance” for short, kicks off following the Super Bowl in February. It’s a league-controlled, single entity that will feature a 10-game regular-season schedule and four-team postseason in 2019 with broadcast rights owned by CBS. It will be capped by a championship game on the weekend of April 26-28 — the same weekend that the 2019 NFL draft will be going on.
