The XFL announced that three additional players from XFL teams have signed NFL contracts.

San Antonio Brahmas tight end Alize Mack has signed with the Tennessee Titans. Mack racked up 28 receptions, for 230 yards, and 1 touchdown in the 2023 XFL season.

D.C. punter Daniel Whelan, who signed with the Green Bay Packers, was named to the 2023 All-XFL Team on May 8. This brings the total number of players who have signed an NFL contract to 21, including seven who earned All-XFL Team honors.

Arlington linebacker Willie Taylor signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent. Taylor, 23, was one of just three XFL players eligible for the NFL Draft, along with Seattle quarterback Harrison Frost and San Antonio defensive back Marco Domio. Taylor finished the season with four sacks and led the Renegades with eight tackles for loss.

To date, 58 players have either been invited to camps or have held individual workouts with NFL teams since the conclusion of the regular season.

Monday, May 15, was the first day XFL players could officially sign NFL contracts and 11 players reportedly singed on that day. An additional seven players signed with NFL teams on Tuesday.

If the players return to the XFL, they will resume with their former teams.
