The NFL wants to get in the business of developing more football players.

CBS Sports reported that Troy Vincent, the NFL's head of football operations, will begin the process of meeting with the necessary people to propose a new developmental league.

The report also stated that there could be an in-season academy for developing players who have been out of the league for a short period of time.

Saints coach Sean Payton, however, is not in favor of a new league.

"I’m not in favor of the developmental league," Payton said. "I think you’re going to see an increased number of practice squad players. The developmental league, I think, is a way for more network programming."
