For the first time in a while, members of that group have an option to continue working in a football environment. The Fall Experimental Football League (FXFL) is moving forward with plans to field a four-team, six-week developmental league, commissioner Brian Woods said this week. The FXFL will target young players who are within a few years of leaving college and would otherwise spend the fall working out at home after an NFL release.
