NFL should allow rental loan deals like soccer

Packers now have Jordan Love out for a few weeks while talented first round picks Drake Maye and Michael Penix Jr ride the bench.

 

I really think the NFL should allow deals where GB flip a late round pick over to the Patriots or Falcons to borrow the young player for a few weeks. He gets experience. Win-win-win situation.

Bit different to soccer. That sport is a lot more plug and play. There’s variations of tactics and strategy, but you ain’t learning a whole playbook to play at Ipswich Town. 
 

Maye would have unlearn everything he’s learning in our system to pick up what the Pack do in a very short space of time. 
 

I see what you’re saying, but this is why it’s prudent to have a half decent backup QB

Also with loan deals in soccer, the parent club tends to still pay the salary right? How would that work in a hard cap environment?  Bit more of a minefield in the NFL I reckon 

It varies.

  • In soccer if the parent club continues to pay the salary then often there is an upfront payment by the loaning team to offset this.
  • If the loaning team pays the wages then often there is little to no upfront payment, and teams negotiate whether paying 25% - 100% of the wages.
  • Soccer also has obligation to purchase options in loan contracts, I guess that would be obligation to trade a pick if this was in the NFL?

It varies. It would be a cool twerk, especially when your stocked with lots of starting caliber players who can't play in a single position, but would need a lot of rules. Don't know how you would legislate for teams that may want a player back if they had an injury crisis or whether to ourright ban that, and also whether loaned players could play against their parent club.

Why would the Patriots or Falcons allow their young 1st round QB to potentially get hurt on another team for a late-round pick?

He could "potentially get hurt" any day in training. The risk of injury is far outweighed by the benefit of experience.

That is negotiated. Usually the club who get the loaned player pays something, a percentage.
