This is the second part of a two-part deep dive into the off-season of each UFL team to this point. A look at the USFL Conference teams, as well as an explanation and caveats for this analysis, can be found here. The transactions listed below are as of November 8.
Arlington Renegades (25)
Waived: CB Cameron Brown
Waived to sign in NFL: QB Luis Perez, TE Sal Cannella, WR Deontay Burnett, OT Isaiah Prince, DE Jalen Redmond, LB Storey Jackson, CB Delonte Hood
Traded: DE Jeremiah Martin
Retired: DE Anree Saint-Amour
Re-signed: QB Holton Ahlers, QB Lindsey Scott, Jr., RB Devin Darrington, RB Dae Dae Hunter, TE Seth Green, WR Juwan Manigo, WR Isaiah Winstead, G Marcus Minor, OT Adrian Ealy, DT LaRon Stokes, LB Willie Taylor III, LB Tuzar Skipper, LB Donald Payne, CB Jamar Summers, CB Cedric Anderson, CB Steven Jones, Jr., S Jamal Carter, S Joe Powell, P Marquette King, LS Antonio Ortiz
New acquisitions: RB Ike Irabor, WR Todd Simmons, DE Darryl Johnson, LB Reuben Foster, CB Jayden Price
What they have: The Renegades brought back their two young quarterbacks in Holton Ahlers and Lindsey Scott, Jr. That will be an advantage whether or not Luis Perez returns. Some key contributors at linebacker and defensive back have re-signed. They added LB Reuben Foster via Houston’s fire sale. CB Jayden Price is an interesting trade acquisition from Birmingham. Arlington also made the only known signing of a player who attended this year’s UFL Showcase events in WR Todd Simmons.
What they need: Despite the team’s disappointing record last season, Perez played well. The question is if he wants to spend another season in a spring league. There’s also the possibility, slim as it is, that he gets signed by a QB-needy NFL team before the season is through. Perez made his decision just before camp last year and it could come down to the wire again. All of Arlington’s offensive production has vanished and if those players don’t re-sign in the next few months, the Renegades will need to replace that somehow. The same goes for the defensive line, where they currently have just two players ready to roll for 2025.
Gameplan: For whatever reason, Arlington started much later than most in re-signing players, leaving them with the second-fewest currently on the off-season roster. Expect re-signings to continue to trickle in over the next few months. But the Renegades can’t run back the 2024 version and expect to be significantly more successful; they’re going to need to add major pieces from outside the organization if they want to be competitive next year, and they have a long way to go to meet that goal.
D.C. Defenders (29)
Waived to sign in NFL: WR Ty Scott, WR Kelvin Harmon, WR Brandon Smith, DE Malik Fisher, LB Anthony Hines, LB Mikel Jones, K Matt McCrane
Retired: DT TJ Barnes, DE Trent Harris, CB Gareon Conley, S Santos Ramirez
Traded: Jalan McClendon
Re-signed: QB Mike DiLiello, RB Darius Hagans, RB Abram Smith, TE Ben Bresnahan, TE Briley Moore-McKinney, WR Chris Rowland, C Michael Maietti, C Lamont Gaillard, OT David Satkowski, OT Jarrid Williams, OT John Yarbrough, OT Yasir Durant, DT Joe Wallace, DT Kevin Atkins, DT Dennis Johnson, DT Niles Scott, DE Derick Roberson, DE Andre Mintze, LB Momo Sanogo, LB Ferrod Gardner, S Deontay Anderson, S Montae Nicholson, S Sam Kidd, P Paxton Brooks, LS Trae Barry
New acquisitions: CB Adam Sparks, G Tykeem Doss, OT Darrell Simpson, CB Kiondre Thomas
What they have: Like Arlington, D.C. didn’t start the signing and re-signing process until recently. They’ve done a lot of work in the trenches already, seemingly focusing on both offensive and defensive lines. The biggest re-signing so far is RB Abram Smith, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. D.C.’s offense just wasn’t the same without him. The question is, will he return to his pre-injury effectiveness? WR Chris Rowland was the best returner in the league last season and could play a bigger role on offense with three receivers now in the NFL.
What they need: Another similarity to the Renegades: D.C. didn’t get an official commitment from its quarterback, Jordan Ta’amu, until late in the off-season process last year. He has yet to re-sign for 2025, but interestingly, the team just traded away last year’s backup and the presumptive starter without Ta’amu, Jalan McClendon. That seems to indicate they have something in the works at QB. Elsewhere, the team has to patch holes that have opened up due to retirements – they filled a starting CB spot by acquiring Kiondre Thomas from Houston in the McClendon deal. S Santos Ramirez, one of the retirees, had been the quarterback of the Gregg Williams defense the last two years. That field general role will be tougher to replace than his statistical production. Receivers are a desperate need.
Gameplan: The Defenders have just three new faces at this point. They may be deciding to see who accepts their offers to re-sign first before filling holes around them later on. D.C. finished under .500 last year, and even a returning Abram Smith won’t be the sole impetus for a turnaround. They need plenty of new faces for a refresh after they found out the hard way last season that the level of competition rose in the merger. Despite having an experienced NFL defensive coordinator like Williams, the defense underwhelmed. Aside from quarterback, the plan for the rest of the off-season should involve investments in upgrading all three levels of the defense.
Waived to sign in NFL: RB Hassan Hall, RB Anthony McFarland, G Kohl Levao, OT Julien Davenport, DT Prince Emili, DT Jaylen Twyman, LB Marcus Haynes, LB Zach Morton, LB Joel Iyiegbuniwe, LB Wyatt Ray, LS Rex Sunahara
Traded: QB Quinten Dormady
Retired: TE Cody Latimer, S Scott Nelson
Re-signed: QB Kevin Hogan, RB John Lovett, TE Alize Mack, WR Justin Smith, WR Marquez Stevenson, WR Jontre Kirklin, G Aaron Monteiro, G Chuck Filiaga, C Sam Tecklenburg, OT Derrick Kelly II, DT Caeveon Patton, DT Jacob Sykes, DT Taron Vincent, LB Robert Barnes, LB Jordan Williams, LB Zach McCloud, LB Tavante Beckett, LB Nate Wieland, CB BoPete Keyes, CB Corey Mayfield, Jr., CB Derrick Langford, CB Darius Phillips, S Jordan Mosley, K Donald De La Haye, P Brad Wing
New acquisitions: QB Kellen Mond, RB La’Damian Webb, RB Jashaun Corbin, WR Matthew Sexton, WR Ty Fryfogle, WR Ra’Shaun Henry, WR Aaron Nelson, G Kenneth Horsey, G Tyran Hunt, G Justin Shaffer, C Alex Pihlstrom, OT Willie Tyler, DT Bryan Mone, DT Rashard Lawrence, DE Toby Ndukwe, DE Ikenna Enechukwu, DE John Morgan, DE Kobe Jones, LB Rashod Berry, LB Jordan Ferguson, CB Tyler Boatwright, CB Chris Steele, CB Kaleb Ford-Dement, CB Henry Black, S Tariq Carpenter, S Jalen Elliott
What they have: The most active XFL Conference team on the transaction wire, the Brahmas clearly were not satisfied with their runner-up status in the UFL Championship game. Their re-signings and new acquisitions have come in almost equal numbers. A big splash was made in bringing QB Kellen Mond aboard, making Quinten Dormady expendable. Mid-season addition Kevin Hogan returns, likely as a backup, unless Mond falls flat in camp. The rest of the offensive depth already looks decent. The heart of the defense, linebackers Jordan Williams and Tavante Beckett, will be back. The new players are far from obscure and could play major roles in 2025.
What they need: The Brahmas were one of the hardest hit by NFL signings. Among the losses were two staring offensive linemen, their top pass rusher, and the long snapper. A few of them could yet resurface in San Antonio. Until then, they are holes to be filled. Tight ends are not a focal point in A.J. Smith’s offense; rather, Cody Latimer provided mismatches last year as an oversized receiver playing the position. They could look for a replacement for him now that he lived up to his vow to retire after the season. While they brought in Mond at QB, he struggled mightily enough in the NFL that the team may want to add a third quality arm as insurance.
Gameplan: San Antonio was one win away from becoming UFL Champions and their off-season so far has reflected the urgency to take that next step. The Brahmas parted ways with several depth players, hoping to improve that area and its trickle-down affect of making their special teams better. QB Chase Garbers proved in the finale that he wasn’t the QB to lead the team further than they managed to get last year, resulting in the big swing they took there. Head coach Wade Phillips doesn’t want to waste his twilight years doing anything other than vying for a championship, even in a league like the UFL.
St. Louis Battlehawks (40)
Waived to sign in NFL: WR Hakeem Butler, WR Andy Isabella, C Mike Panasiuk, OT Jaryd Jones-Smith, LB Willie Harvey, Jr., LB Mike Rose
Draft picks signed: WR Jelani Baker, OT Bradley Ashmore, DT Isaiah Coe, CB Myles Sims, CB Myles Jones
Re-signed: RB Kevon Latulas, RB Mataeo Durant, RB Jacob Saylors, TE Kemari Averett, TE Jake Sutherland, WR Jerome Kapp, WR Jahcour Pearson, WR Blake Jackson, G Abdul Beecham, G Steven Gonzalez, OT Teton Saltes, OT Eric Magwood, OT Juwann Bushell-Beatty, DT T.J. Pesefea, DT Kobe Smith, LB Callahan O’Reilly, LB Pita Taumoepenu, LB Travis Feeney, LB Chris Garrett, CB Keylon Kennedy, CB Brandon Sebastian, CB Chris Payton-Jones, CB Kameron Kelly, S Dravon Askew-Henry, S Nico Bolden, S Qwynnterrio Cole, P Sterling Hofrichter, K Andre Szmyt, LS Alex Matheson
New acquisitions: TE Chase Allen, WR James Bostic, WR Denzel Mims, LB Kemoko Turay, CB D’Angelo Mandell, S Avery Young
What they have: St. Louis hasn’t brought in a ton of new faces for 2025, but those they have executed agreements with have a track record of success. They include a trio of former second round NFL draft picks. There’s some boom-or-bust potential with the wide receivers. The running back room already looks complete with Mataeo Durant, Jacob Saylors and Kavon Latulas all returning. There is also a lot of depth at receiver, even without Hakeem Butler. The defensive backfield is deep with many 2024 pieces back in the fold. All three specialists have re-signed.
What they need: Of the 40 players currently locked down for next season, not one of them is a quarterback. Even if A.J. McCarron returns, they’ll probably want to improve the backup situation. The Battlehawks drafted Chevan Cordeiro this summer, and he’s currently a free agent. But he hasn’t signed his letter of intent with St. Louis. He would be a nice addition if the two parties can come to terms. Only two starting offensive linemen are back, and while the key backups are in place, I don’t sense any of them making the jump to starter. Linebackers Mike Rose and Willie Harvey, Jr. were critical to the success of the defense and they remain unsigned.
Gameplan: If McCarron doesn’t return, St. Louis should be an attractive destination for QBs looking to get involved in the spring football scene. The pieces are there on offense – they just need a captain to steer the ship. The Battlehawks took some big swings in free agency and several of those players have ties to head coach Anthony Becht (TE Chase Allen played at Iowa State where Anthony’s son, Rocco, is the starting QB; WR Denzel Mims was drafted by the New York Jets, Becht’s former team; and two players are from Rutgers University, which is near where the Jets play and where Becht calls games as a broadcaster). St. Louis did well to lock in half of their draft picks at this point, the second-most in the league. A playoff team last season, there’s clearly a belief that the core is already in place for a successful 2025.

Between the USFL and XFL conferences you did a great job of pulling the pieces together. I have been tracking as well and there were a couple of early signings I hadn’t caught. The one difference I have is Matt Seybert. James Larsen of Pro Football Newsroom mentioned he had signed with the Brahmas. I would be happy for Seybert if he indeed did sign with the team and being that the Brahmas run so much, I feel it makes sense to have at least 2 tight ends on the roster, but especially in camp. I, too, hope McCarron is back in the fold. It would be great if they could sign Cordeiro as the 3rd QB going into camp, but there is quite a bit of talent at the QB level out there provided they could get that O-Line together. A QB with quite a similar skill-set to McCarron is Reid Sinnett so a good QB signing whether they sign McCarron or not. Thanks again for the hard work to provide so much information to the fans of the league.
I feel bad sometimes. I look at the hard work that Patrick Rifino, Sue Levine and Mark Perry do at the News Hub and a super, young writer like James Larsen does out of the Pro Football Newsroom and Greg Parks & UFLBoard.com all do and I am thankful. I do wish some of the other fans of the league would correspond. I do see something every now and again from 4th & Long and some others, but pretty much I don’t see as many responses as I would hope. As long as we aren’t tearing the league down I would love to read your thoughts, whether I agree with them or not and I am happy to converse ideas.
As far as this week goes, I am going to piggyback off of the articles that talk about where we are as we are around 110 days to camp. To date the UFL has done a fine job of bringing back many of their base players. This has allowed the players to know they “have” to prepare for camp. Being they only have about 4 weeks of actual camp or less this is a good thing. I am not saying not to bring in late signings when they can improve your team, but as the Stallions proved last year often it’s good in football to trust in the strengths of football. Those are to build a team, to work alone in the offseason and then together as a team in camp in one goal of winning a championship, with the knowledge that the team goals will also improve the player’s individual goals. To this Kevin Austin Jr caught 2 passes yesterday for 36 yards in an actual NFL game, not in a practice squad setting. I understand some people aren’t ready to sign. In some cases players are awaiting their opportunities and teams are awaiting to see what players will become available. I know I have a long list of UFL prospects. I imagine each team has their list too. This is why I sometimes question if Houston didn’t sign too many players off the top, not affording the flexibility that would come later. That stated. They had special circumstances. They had players that were looking out for their own good over the good of the team, so I understand Will Lewis bringing in people he had faith in. Now hopefully players will see enough change and feel Houston is a good place to land. As we weigh the roster spots available as a whole as well as positionally, I feel it a good homework assignment to see about signing the following this week. I have one, in some players an either/or situation. Understand I am not sure how many players can come to camp, but presuming it is between 65-70.
Stallions: Elijah Sullivan. I don’t know how many linebackers you plan to bring to camp, but I can’t imagine one of them isn’t Elijah Sullivan. I could be wrong as I don’t know what he was like in the locker room. On the field he was not afraid to tackle the number pre-requisite as a linebacker.
Showboats: DJ Daniel plays in the team concept. He will play tight man to man coverage. This allows the line and linebackers an opportunity to apply pressure and allow for more players in the box to stop the run and crossers. IF you feel you can account for a pass rush and to cut down on the openness of the middle of the field, he will be a great addition to your squad. To sign him only makes sense. When you think of all the members of the secondary that will be signed, he needs to be one of them. Sign him now so he can workout with an eye toward the competition ahead. This type of coverage and scheme means the CB needs to be in great condition if he wants to remain on the field. If not him, Vinny Papale. If you are going to bring 8 or 9 receivers to camp, he needs to be one. Sometimes he and Adams’ strengths overlap, but Papale does not have the tools Adams’ height and the increased strength he showed last year. He has, however, the ability to catch the ball get the first down, never slowing from what goal he has, getting hit, avoiding most of the hit, and preparing for the next down. He has unbelievable awareness and is not afraid of the goal line and is able to make any play somehow around it. It’s like underneath his jersey is a big “S” when the ball comes in his direction, but especially while approaching the goal-line. So much for not being 6-4. When it comes to him attaining his goals on a football field, he is a giant.
Roughnecks: Two words Chris Odom. Chris, if you want to play, sign now. You are too good to be retired. You do both the ordinary and extraordinary. If you feel you want to play just sign. The Roughnecks will take you. Will Lewis knows football.
Panthers: If not Ryan Pope than Josh Dunlap. I wasn’t so sure about Ryan Pope. Podcasters and the like had talked about him in alt leagues for some time, but he never seemed to shine. Last year when the Panthers had trouble at Tackle he did a fine job of allowing your team to do what you need to do without juggling the line. If not Pope, Josh Dunlap. He did a fine job last year.
Battlehawks: When building a team of new players you need to have the one players that does everything well, all the time. Even with the recent signings, Darrius Sheppard can be counted on to return kicks and punts always providing the ability to bust a big one with minimal risk to losing the ball or yards. Additionally, he is always one of the most polished and committed receivers on the field. Whether a deep ball down a seem or a drag route to get the first down, he needs to be in the Battlehawks arsenal.
Renegades: As every team needs someone to stretch the field as well as be a short and mid-range threat you need to sign Javonta Payton. You need to sign him, you may as well just do it already. If not address the line with Bobby Evans or someone else you want to sign.
Defenders: Vyncint Smith: Kelvin Harmon waited for years to get his opportunity. He failed to catch on with the Philadelphia Stars, then the CFL. When the Defenders signed him last year I thought they signed him, because he was an NFL that actually had local ties. As he received his opportunity he made it clear he had NFL talent and was signed by the Cowboys to their practice squad. Vyncint Smith is trying to make lightning strike twice. He got some snaps a little later in the year and showed the big-play capabilities that I remember from his days in the NFL. He should do better with a camp behind him. I expect a big year. IF he is willing to see where this goes, sign him now so he can get camp ready. One thing to know you should get ready. It’s another thing to “have” to get ready.
Delontae Scott: This guy causes trouble. It makes sense for both player and organization to get this done. If not, Alex Mollette. I know Tecklenberg finished last year strong, but I remember Mollette’s reputation was that of a good lineman and you can’t have too many of those. Ask any team in the NFL.
These are just some ideas, but I do really feel these make sense. The league knows better than I do, but I feel with these players you should re-look at some tape. IF you feel these grade out well, along with their past attitudes, reach out to the player and see if they want to come to camp. Good luck to podcasters and to the league on a great 2025. One more note: I still believe there is a great wealth of talent out there, even after the retirements we have heard about. One talent that it would be great to see out there is Corey Coleman. I am not sure he knows this, but when he played with the USFL it showed me why he should play football. I never say many Browns games so I really always thought he was a bust in the NFL. Even with the UFL’s talent growth spurt last year, Corey Coleman’s skills translate. I remember him always wearing the NFL headband in the USFL and must have been heartbroken when the NFL didn’t come calling. IF it was all about the money and a one last shot at the NFL I understand, but in all honesty I feel both you and the league have something to share with each other. I enjoyed watching you play with the Stars, every step was a calculating move to see where you can exploit the defender. Hoping to see you on the field!
