Not really many players are going from the XFL or USFL to make an NFL roster; however, those 2 leagues being around might have helped protect some CFL teams from having their rosters raided by NFL teams, and even a bit helps. NFL teams with more contacts within the coaches & scouts of the minor US pro leagues and easier to attend games there (though access to film should be even / no problem), likely means it's easier for them to look there for extra bodies or long-range prospects. Less teams with just the one league might change that a bit now ?
Seems to me, NFL interest in top CFL football talent is basically at an all-time low. And that's a very good thing for CFL teams and CFL fans. Keep up the good work NFL super-experts.
