Heard the XFL is paying out roughly half a mil for the QBs so I'm not sure your statement is true... However, other positions make 27k guaranteed and 55k average, and so for those guys yeah, one week probably does make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I know, but if he actually wants to actually play, then he's okay being in the XFL...he has made over $7M in his various stints in the NFL.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 How many former NFL players are going to sign with the XFL knowing that league can block them from joining the NFL? IMO the entire idea of the XFL is basically so that you can play while "trying out" indirectly each week for the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the entire idea of the XFL is basically so that you can play while "trying out" indirectly each week for the NFL. It's more of to develop players for the NFL. You start the season on a team, you commit to that team for the season. It gives players a chance to showcase their talent over the course of a season and learn football, which is why most of the guys in the XFL that you see (aside from like Nelson Spruce) are either has-beens that are trying to remind the league of their ability (Matt McGloin, Terrance Williams, Marquette King, Josh Johnson) or raw, athletic prospects that have all the tools, but need to refine their game (Tyree Jackson, Jalen Myrick, Cardale Jones) as well as a couple players that have shown teams a taste of their ability in the NFL, but sadly weren't signed to an active roster this year, possibly due to a lack of film to justify paying them the money that they would want (Eli Rogers, Marcus Murphy, Chase Litton). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///mcompact Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Like the NFL wouldn't do the same? Yeah...the situation would never go the other way, but with how petty the NFL is, I say good on the XFL. Let's be real...the NFL is going to do everything they can to throw a wrench/shade at the XFL going forward. Might as well cut to the chase and clear that fog up now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nex_Gen Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 It is a sad day in your organization when you get rejected from signing Josh Johnson... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y*so*blu Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Who? Never heard of him. XFL is already inviting bad press. Par for Vinny Mac's course. Outsized ego; thinks he can own everything and everybody. Sorry dude, the business is bigger than you, whether it's football or wrestling. Just have to get over it.

If only there was another mobile QB out there who hasn't played much NFL football for quite some time, but wanted back in the league... If only...

Not sure if you're trolling now, but I would think the guy who has more than eight career starts, better completion percentage, and better TD:INT ratio would be considered the superior option. Now, whether he's good in the absolute sense? That's a different question. But better than Josh Johnson? Is that really debatable? Really? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
