Late Friday, the UFL announced eight players had signed to four different UFL teams and that the Memphis Showboats had released quarterbacks Guy Myers and Ryan Willis.
In 2023, Willis served as a backup quarterback for the Memphis Showboats, appearing in one game where he threw one completion. Myers has bounced around the USFL, spending time with the New Jersey Generals and the Tampa Bay Bandits in 2022 before signing with the Showboats in 2023.
The Arlington Renegades signed four new players, with three being former Renegades, including kicker Taylor Russolino, a stalwart for the St. Louis Battlehawks in 2020, and the Arlington Renegades in 2023.
Quarterback Deondre Francois is also listed as being signed by the D.C. Defenders. Francois was previously selected by the DC Defenders during the 2024 UFL dispersal draft held on January 5, 2024.
