    Hey guys I'm looking for a book that covers the structure of the nfl, salary caps, how the draft works and stuff like the running of a franchise. I need a book to brush up on my knowledge for college assignment. Any help would be great.:D

    Excellent book and covers a lot of these topics.
    Quite a short book but I found it very good

    America's Game: The Epic Story of How Pro Football Captured a Nation by Michael Cambridge is excellent and it gives a very good account of how the NFL grew from modest beginnings to dominate America and the logic behind the draft and salary cap etc.

    Try Rich Eisen's Total Access journey to the center of the NFL universe. It's a nice book that will compliment the above. It goes through regular season, playoffs, superbowl, offseason (draft, probowl, training camp). Depending on the level of detail you want, I'm unsure if it'll fill your needs. It's an all round good book and is written in a laid back and personal style. Worth a look.
