XFL QB PJ Walker

[Mr. Scot]

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.

We resigned Kyle Allen,.. and we have Will Grier where Rhule said “most NFL ready prospect maybe ever”

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?

[TheSpecialJuan]

The NFL is allowing teams to sign XFL players beginning Monday at 8 a.m. ET, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

Marty signed 8 AAF guys last year so you would think we would be interested in a few XFL guys. TE Donald Parham could be an option.

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.
