	This is the USFL Vs. NFL - Order in the Court
		Remember that NFL teams hold its player’s rights once they draft them, meaning players like Spencer, Trumaine Johnson, etc., will still be drafted by NFL clubs, but later in the selection process, hoping they’ll be available in a few years down the road when their contracts expire.
		Given the NFL's tendency to have come out losers in the courts back then, the USFL was banking on the NFL coming to terms with them rather than battling the antitrust suit in the courts or waiting for the USFL to die a death attributable to dollar anemia.
		The NFL claims that those losses were self-inflicted, brought about by the USFL’s failure to adhere to its original concept: namely, a league of competitive though lesser (and lesser-priced) talents which would provide an exciting game to those fans for whom, apparently, five months of football was inadequate.

	Wikipedia: NFL Rejects
		This bias, evidently fed by loyalty to the rival National Football League (NFL), was expressed in many ways: CBS-TV refusing to give AFL scores on its broadcasts of NFL games; Sports Illustrated giving AFL games short shrift and fl-and-white photos, if any, while it covered NFL games with feature stories and lush color pictures.
		Perhaps the most damning claim was the one by newspaper, radio and TV reporters from NFL cities, calling AFL players "NFL Rejects", implying that if a player had spent time in the NFL and then played with an AFL team, he was "washed up" and not good enough to play in the "superior" league.
		At the peaks of their careers, all would have gladly been "taken back" by the NFL teams that "rejected" them.
