UFL Teams Sign 42 Players in First Week of Free Agency
With the conclusion of the two UFL Dispersal Drafts, the league kicked off their free agency. In a social media post Friday night, the league announced that a total of 42 players were signed onto six different UFL teams.
The San Antonio Brahmas led the way with 20 players being signed. This stems from a whole new coaching staff being brought in, lead by former Houston Roughnecks coach Wade Phillips.
A total of 25 offensive players were signed, with 16 defensive players. Kicker Matt Ammendola was the only special teams player signed this week.
The D.C. Defenders and Memphis Showboats did not sign any free agents.
