What happens to players who are cut from an NFL team?

People who are cut from an NFL team get real jobs. Like me. You start coaching or you go into the real world and start trying to make a living. There is no mile league system. It's not like baseball where you get sent down to the minors or get sent down on assignment. If you are not in the big show, then you are not playing. So you can go play different forms of football. You can go play in the CFL, or you can go play arena football or other leagues like that. But you also get paid, so it is not like you are in the minor leagues. But it is not like baseball where they are going to try and see if you are going to get better, or try to get your form back. If you do not make the team, you are done. You have got to start working.
