Could the Tampa Bay Buccaneers one day identify or tag certain players to an Alliance of American Football (AAF) affiliate for developmental play in the NFL off-season? If AAF co-founder Bill Polian has his way, it certainly seems possible.
Talking with USA Today recently, Polian commented about the possibility of the two leagues partnering in some fashion, saying,
“The talk is ramping up - I’ll say that.”
While those words alone may not seem all that impactful, the fact the two leagues are talking, and that talks are ‘ramping up’ is big by itself.
