Okay let me rephrase the CFL, NFL, and NFL-Europe question. I meant what is the difference of them not what they stood for. I mean such as the rules, the trading, the money etc...

An unrestricted free agent is a player who is currently not affiliated with any team. He can sign with any team he wants without any interference from his previous team. Other free agents are 'restricted,' meaning that the player can attempt to sign with another team, but his former team has the right to match the offer.
A player not involved in transaction...just means he's not involved in transaction...yeah
An undrafted player is a college player who is eligible for the NFL Draft but did not get picked. He is able to sign as a free agent with any team, probably with a minimum salary.
The CFL is the Canadian Football League. There are some famous alums of the CFL including Doug Flutie, Jeff Garcia, and Warren Moon.
The NFL is the National Football League, which is the main football league out there right now.
NFL Europe is kind of like the minor leagues of the NFL. NFL teams can send their players to play in Europe. The fanbase of this league has been fading and NFLE is in danger of being dissolved.

An unrestricted free agent is a player who's contract is up and he can be drafted by any team that wants him. An undrafted player is a player who has no contract and is not picked up by any team. The CFL is the Canadian Football League; the NFL is the National Football League. The only difference between the NFL and NFL Europe and the CFL is where they are played.

You got a lot to learn
1) Unrestricted free agents means that a team has someone with a expiring contract either because they got traded to a team or got a 1 year deal.
2) Transaction is when a team make changes to their team by either releasing, trading, or being re-sign. Some players are not involve in a transaction because the team needs them.
3) Underacted players is a rookie that is not drafted. Like every sports involve with a ball or puck has a draft to get rookies. If a ookie enters the draft and no team drafts them they are undrafted and sent to the free agents to be signed.
4) CFL- Canadian Football league, nobody pays much because there is barely any recognition and publicity. NFL-National Football League, they are the one that is most talked about and watch football organiztion, they are the one who plays the super bowl every year and gets paid. NFL-Europe is like a mini NFL but is played in Europe, some teams sent players for them to train and become better. NFL Eruope and CFl are semi-pro league that doesnt get much attention or much money and also less talked than the professional NFL players
Hope you understand

unrestricted means the player can sign with any other team without the other team signing him having to give anything in return(i.e. money, draft pick..etc....)
Every April the NFL has what is called the draft, the team that has the worst record the previous season picks a player from all the colleges in the world first ,the team with the next worst record picks second , etc until the super bowl winner picks. They do this 7 times and at the end of the draft any player not picked is considered undrafted.
cfl is canadian football league(ex college/undrafted /free agent players)
nfl is the national football league based in the USA and nfl europe is made of players the nfl is looking at to "see" if they are good enough for the nfl........so called minor leagues if you will.
let me know if you need any more info

An unrestricted free agent is a player who's contract has expired, and thus he is free to sign with any team he chooses. An undrafted player is a player that does not get chosen by a team during the NFL's annual first year player draft (guys coming from college). If you are not drafted during the 7 rounds, you can sign with whatever team you want (or wants you).

What does DT, OLB, CB, etc... mean? Those are positions on the field. Pretty much just what they do on the field (block catch etc) -What are some of the rules to when you punt (I think that is the term) You cant hit the punter if he is punting. If the punting side touches the ball, the ball is down there. But other than that its just lik any other down. -How long is the field? 100 yards -Also if you know any books about players/stats/history of the game, it would be great if you could tell me the name of the book. There are SOOOOO many. just go to the sports section of hastings and they are filled with them. -Who are some really good players/teams? What make them so good? Teams: Packers- Good defense, incredable passing offense Jets: good defense Players: Adrian Peterson- big fast and quick runner Charles Woodson- Very atheletic and expierienced.
