Entering the 2017 season, the Baltimore Ravens were looking to add some offensive playmakers to complement their ferocious defense. They saw a golden opportunity when they heard that Colorado Yeti running back Boss Tweed grew up as a Ravens fan. During the NSFL offseason, the Ravens offered Tweed a chance to come try out for the team. At the time when he left college, Tweed chose to join the newly forming NSFL rather than the NFL because he was told that he would go undrafted in the NFL. However, Tweed has already vastly outperformed the expectations NSFL scouts had during the draft, so some NFL teams were curious about trying to lure him away from the NSFL. Tweed always dreamed of playing in the NFL growing up and the chance to try out for his favorite team was hard to resist. The Ravens thought Tweed could become a member of their running back committee, but were shocked by his scrimmage results. Tweed feasted on one of the top running defenses in the NFL and looked like exactly the kind of playmaker the Ravens were looking for. After the try out, the Ravens offered Tweed a hefty contract to come be their new starting running back and the focal point of their offense. This was an opportunity Tweed had dreamed of for years, but he couldn't accept. He still had unfinished business in the NSFL. The Yeti reached the championship game during Tweed's rookie season but suffered a demoralizing defeat. The next year, they were ready for revenge but missed the playoffs on a controversial tiebreaker. Tweed could not leave the Yeti without a championship. He thanked the Ravens for the offer and said he might consider coming to the NFL in a later part of his career, but he could not leave his team in the NSFL without reaching that championship they had so closely aspired for.
