So apparently they'll be looking at around 800 or so former NFL, CFL and AAF players for their draft, with the eight teams to have rosters of 70. OK, NOW I'm starting to have concerns. Assuming Vince is footing much of these salaries himself.... Jeez 70! I like people having jobs, but that's way too many imo Add another 70 that because there is also going to be a "team Nine" as they call it which is a team that other teams can use players from in case of injury. So that alone totals 630 spots. I'm sure as for as the draft goes they are going to want enough people that teams have options of who to pick. Not have just enough players to fill a roster as the draft the one team gets leftovers. At less go for some strategy for teams on how to draft.

That’s surprising. He was a 4th round pick who sat behind Big Ben for three years, would think he could be a back up somewhere but he’s taking a gamble so more power to him

Part of a logo reveal was done today, no indication as to which team, or the name. It’s on the league’s Facebook.

Apparently they are saying they will not hold to the rule that players have to be out of high school 3 years to be drafted.......will any big name dudes shun the NFL to go be paid early?
I doubt it honestly unless it's some guy who the NFL won't pick anyway or a guy that gets kicked out of college, something like that.

Hey, remember when WWE said that it and the XFL were separate companies and there wasn’t going to be much synergy with one another?
Good times.
