The AAF is barring its players from going to the CFL

Hold on guys, the AAF isn’t done with you yet.

Despite having suspended all operations earlier this month, the startup Alliance of American Football isn’t going to lets it’s soon-to-be former players sign just anywhere. The league, which made it through just eight weeks of game play after billing itself as a road to the NFL, is preventing its players from going north to the CFL, according to ESPN

As the AAF considers bankruptcy — it has yet to officially fold — it views its player contracts as assets. With several players having already inked contracts with NFL teams, it’s a puzzling decision.

The AAF is already facing several lawsuits from ex-players, who have alleged everything from breach of contract to its main investor allowing the league to shutter because he wanted the cutting-edge gambling software owned by it.
