NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle announced that World Football League players are off limits for NFL clubs for the remainder of the 1975 season. The move follows a warning letter from the WFL-Memphis Southmen lawyers urging the NFL to avoid pursuing the players amid potential lawsuits. Rozelle cited contract uncertainties and risk of intra-league disputes, hoping a legal resolution allows 1976 signings. Players affected include Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, Jim Kiick, Calvin Hill, Ted Kwalick and Anthony Davis. Dolphins coach Don Shula said the development did not surprise him and Green Bay was the sole franchise to have signed a WFL player after the crash.
