My thoughts....

XFL TIER 1
JT Barrett
Paxton Lynch

I like Perez but I think the XFL will want to hold off on AAF QBs with one exception being Gilbert

It will be surprising to see how many hold off from the Tier 1 offers to hope for an NFL contract.

Saints are likely to keep Taysom Hill. They see value in him.

[MGB01]

Taysom Hill is NO's designated swiss army knife, not only are they not letting him go, he'll be picked up faster than you can say X-Bowl if he was. Better to go Taryn Christion (IIRC was at the LA showcase?) if we're going that route.

Gotta be realistic here.

[GDAWG]

Also I think Colt McCoy's future is as a coach if he was to be released.

[johnnyangryfuzzball]

Alex "Trick Shot" Tanney... I'm surprised he's still around!

[MGB01]

Even moreso that he was actually Eli's backup last year, might have a chance to finally stick with a team for more than a year if Giants keep three QBs

[LeoNY]

It looks like Geno Smith has won the backup battle in Seattle. The question is does Paxton Lynch still make the team, go on the Seahawks practice squad or become a top tier quarterback in the XFL. If I were him and option one is gone. I would choose the XFL. Barring a catastrophic issue in Seattle. Lynch is not going to see the field and will be back to square one next summer. It’s time to play. 250k per season versus 130k on the practice squad. The difference is actually getting better and playing in the XFL.

[MGB01]

Lynch might need some time, was his first game back out of concussion protocol--and you could see it.

Course that offensive line, I think they played the same one the whole game, was horrible. Especially Jordan Roos, yeeeeeeeech. You could almost see Lynch being horrified at going in after Smith got crunched.

Well at least J.T. Barrett will be clean
