Jason LaCanfora reported that XFL players can be signed by NFL teams immediately. Thus, there's already word that several teams are looking at standout quarterback PJ Walker.

To date though, the Panthers are not one of them. Among the teams who have are the Broncos, Seahawks and Cardinals.

Walker has a Panthers connection though, having played for Coach Matt Rhule at Temple.

Will we express interest? Unknown. If we do, it might conceivably affect the status of Kyle Allen (not guaranteed, though).

I didn't watch enough XFL to see much of Walker, so opinions are welcome from anyone who did.

The XFL has informed its players that they're free to sign with NFL or CFL teams on March 23 upon execution of an XFL Notice of Contract Termination.

The XFL also officially announced they're cancelling the remainder of the 2020 season. It's likely that at least a handful of players are signed to rosters around the league, as was the case after the AAF folded in 2019. Still, the majority of players failed to catch on for longer than a training camp and preseason stint, something that could again be an issue in 2020.

Man, the timing really sucked for them, didn't it?

No kidding. All things considered, it was a fairly entertaining league. My expectations were very low but it was still a decent surprise. I liked hearing the refs talk things through together and the commentary was definitely on par. 
 

I actually hope they recover. Nice to have some kind of football in the offseason. But this is a rough blow for them.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
