>>This is quite possibly the largest roster turnover we’ve seen happen in one sitting, in modern spring football history. As C.J. Johnson said at the end of their 2024 campaign, it was a “season full of winters” for Houston.It’s evident that they do not want the same story repeated in 2025. This organization wants to win, and with Lewis and Johnson constructing a new roster for the upcoming season, it’ll be exciting to watch how it all unfolds heading towards Training Camp. <<

Wow lots of changes there...

Brahmas only brought back 8 players from their previous roster last season.  Let's see Houston top that.

But the Brahmas coaching was the Roughnecks from last year and they targeted Houston players.  So while true it was due to HC etc... switching teams.And it worked out well for Wade, and not so well for the Roughnecks.

Even that doesn't wash.  They only signed 8 players from that Roughnecks team.  The Brahmas were the team with the lowest retention rate in the UFL and that's including both San Antonio and Houston's XFL rosters.

The Brahmas devoted almost their entire dispersal draft to drafting the Roughnecks' roster, not to mention six more in the open Super Draft phase.

For the most part, the 2024 Brahmas was built from as much of the 2023 Roughnecks as Wade Phillips could get his hands on.

Exactly.  

I think CJ has more potential than DeFlip, he did well in 2023 (gamblers) with a lesser QB than Breakers.  He has CFB HC experience along with spring FB.  The Roster wasn't the best last year - I expect better in 2025.

Hopefully CJ is better at clock management then he was in 2024, or else he won't be back for 2026.
