He did turn out for Quins a few times, just a few, now working in law somewhere

I believe he was competing with Travis Ismael for most impressive impact

... The loss of Welsh players playing in the Wales is a big problem and hopefully the same doesn’t happen in England. I think there is a big problem with the salary cap for all home nations teams that needs to be addressed asap.

Is there a salary cap in Wales, Scotland or Ireland?

As a rookie on the IPP (International Players Pathway) he should get $10,000 per week and if he makes it to first choice elite wide receiver he can expect $15 to $20 million per year..

I can only think of 2 British players who had decent careers in the NFL - Mick Luckhurst at Atlanta Falcons, John Smith at New England Patriots. BOTH were Field Goal kickers.

BB - The URC does not have a salary cap, which is why Leinster do so well.

However, the Welsh and Scottish franchises have a lot less to spend.
The WRU has imposed a salary cap on the Welsh Regions, apparently £4.5 million.

Glasgow and Edinburgh are part of the SRU, and appear to have a combined budget equal to that of Leicester or Exeter.

Yes, I didn't think so but was aware the Scots and Welsh weren't flush.

Not sure the lack of a cap matters to Irish teams - pretty sure they are all owned and funded by the IRFU who also have the top players centrally contracted.

Yes, but not ex-rugby. According to Wikipedia he's one of 5 British-born players to have won a Super Bowl.

Ah sorry. Misunderstood what you meant by “2 British players”. I read that as British NFL players.
