It's not going to ruin the NFL since the NFL, unlike the NBA, is not saddled with guaranteed contracts of players who either haven't shown they can play or players who prime is long past. In the NFL at least the teams have the ability to cut nonperformers and not have to pay them. Player wannabes are going to have to think a lot harder about coming out early because nothing is guaranteed. In the NBA, you fool a team into drafting your unprepared butt in the 1st rd and they hand you a massive guaranteed 7yr contract so you're set for life.
