Interesting. I thought they would have kept Connor Blumrick because he played Tight End in college.

Surprised to see Kurt Benkert protected by San Antonio.
Not surprised by DC - they do need a QB bad with Ta'amu possibly out and King not a starter anyway.
King isn't coming back anyways.

According to this post on twitter that’s supposedly taken from his instagram account he is coming back.

That is surprising since he's coaching at SMU. Yes the league will train in Arlington (which isn't far away from SMU), but his promotion to SMU QB Coach means he'll have to be at SMU's Spring Game. Maybe the SMU Spring Game will be scheduled the day before or the day after the Defenders play the Renegades in Arlington.

For the record, King's Instagram shows no sign of the alleged post.

James Larsen’s tweet has a screen capture of his instagram account post. Maybe he removed it since then but this is what was being referenced.

So on the UFL Podcast, he said that King responded with "I was just joking" saying that King was trolling.

D’Eriq King is joking around. 😂 I get that.

Interesting then how DC is going to play this out. Waiting for Ta’amu or pick up a different starter? King was a backup anyway. So was Deondre Francois unless they think he can be a number 1.
Fan of the XFL from the beginning. You may remember me from the original XFLboard.

Kurt Benkert was on the Kay Adams Show this morning, but the UFL was never mentioned. Instead the talk was about Packers vs. 49ers.
