It's easy, and only takes a few moments.sorry about explaining it basically can a player decide to not even enter the nfl draft and go straight to the cfl so that after a season he can come back to the nfl and sign with any team he wants too
Demps was undrafted so he could sign with any team. If a player is undrafted he can chose the team he wants.
If an NFL team drafts a player they have exclusive rights no matter if the player signs with the CFL or another pro league.
Example: Craig James, was drafted by the Patriots. He went on to the other league for a few years, but the Patriots retained the NFL rights to him.
I'm not sure how many years the NFL team has those rights.
