managing a nfl roster

To manage your roster, you must watch a lot of players in College, and hire people to do so. You have to fly around a lot to scout them, all 350. It includes all but 1 state, Alaska, to search for great talent. And sometimes, you draft a player for investments, because of all the hype that surrounds that person. For example, the browns take Johnny Manziel in the first round, yes first round! And they are just now about to let him get his first NFL start this week ironically. But while he was on the bench these several several weeks watching his team, he is in snickers commercials, and has the 7th ranked jersey sell. I think that could be a record for someone who has never started a game yet. But back to the point, thats one reason why people get drafted early.

Maintaining a team

In owning a football team, its more than just finances. You have to scout players that are finishing their college career, coming into the draft the next year. You have to hire people to scout them, give contracts to your "big name" or good players to make them stay, and its alot of work. Some people may not stay, and hurt your team badly. Say Cam Newton leaves the Carolina Panthers, well they have to draft a Quarterback that they are willing to risk to lead the Franchise. And also, if Cam stays and gets hurt, who's going to play Quarterback for him? And that's at all 18 positions.
