Great news on Perez! Really wanted him in NJ

Ouch on Ben Holmes, I wasn't excited about this choice, but I hate seeing players injured. I hope he's back when ready. Just like the NFL legit altFB can be cut throat.

Would not be surprised if Perez got more than standard salary.

A great sign for both Perez and the league.

He's familiar to both Birmingham and NY/NJ viewers—having helmed the Iron in the AAF and the Guardians in the XFL. So from a pure business standpoint, his signing made sense, which makes me think that maybe there was more than just a toe issue that led to this decision. After all, this is a league owned by a TV network.

I mean Holmes is definitely injured but I think Perez is a safer qb and will bring even more people in the stands, until we hear otherwise I’m not going to assume the TV people are telling coaches who to play. Interesting note is Perez was there for media day so I wonder when it happened and got long he’s been there
