Brahmas sign QB Kurt Benkert

Post by GregParks »



Big addition for San Antonio. He was originally allocated to Houston before not reporting...feel like they should get some compensation for this loss.

Man you just beat me to it. May be too little too late, but still needed.

Breaking: The @XFLBrahmas are signing QB @KurtBenkert
. This is a major pickup, one that the team desperately needed.

Benkert was originally slated to play for the Roughnecks, before deciding to step away. Now, he joins the Brahmas for the second half of the @XFL2023
season. #XFL<<

Great news. This week's sort of make or break for San Antonio; I don't know if he'll be able to contribute, but if they can somehow come out with a W, we could be set up for a fun playoff chase in the South.

Not to be an obnoxious braggart, but did I call this or what?!

What about starting Jawon Pass? Yes if Orlando drops a QB - its likely Flowers but maybe its Lynch?
Is either one in ORL an improvement, though? Lynch has flopped everywhere he plays and Flowers has a flimsy record. If they are willing to part with Dormady, maybe, but I doubt it.

Maybe they can get the rights to Benkert and beg him to step in.

Sinnett was a huge improvement over Coan and his injury sets the Brahmas way back.

The Roughnecks will get Brahmas LB Drew Lewis in exchange for the rights to Benkert.

Meantime Roughnecks get a guy back from 2020 that should be a bigtime midseason add to Wade's D

San Antonio kinda remade their offense this week with Benkert, plus adding WRs Landen Akers and Calvin Turner off IR. Turner is already slotted into the starting lineup on this week's depth chart. We'll see if it ends up bearing fruit.
