This guy doesn't sound all that legit. But in general it would not surprise me if they already hadn't if they were'nt under contract elsewhere... is this news?

Whaley confirmed tonight that all players who ended the 2020 season on XFL rosters and who are not currently signed to another league will automatically have the chance to opt-in to the XFL draft pool.

Good info GP

Yeah that came up recently, makes sense - they need a player pool. Why not? The showcases likely didn't provide the numbers they were hoping anyway, there was a cost to the tryout. So this fills the gap.

Interestingly, they chose to put them back up for draft instead of allowing them to re-sign with their previous teams (though the San Antonio/Vegas issue might be a problem) if the player and coach wanted. I mean, if continuity is what we want, that's the way to go.

Though I doubt Landry Jones is going to come out of retirement again.

I put this in the DC forum, but I think it would be smart if they allowed teams to claim their former players outside of the draft. Just assign the Vipers' rights to Orlando, the Wildcats' to Vegas, and the Guardians to San Antonio for the sake of fairness. Any continuity that can be maintained can only help.
