This is probably a dumb question but could an NFL team rule circumvent this ruling by signing Clarett as a free agent and maybe sending him to NFL Europe, for example ,this summer then maybe putting him on the practice squad?

i'm pretty sure he'd still have to qualify for the 3 years out of high school rule. does anyone know when that'd be for him? if so i could see the raiders r buccaneers possibly doing it.
