>> Becht told Spectrum News Tuesday he hoped a decision on McCarron’s status would come in the next two weeks, ahead of when players report to training camp Feb. 23. McCarron signed with Cincinnati late in the NFL season and his contract was through the regular season, which just ended.

The new league will not take one of the XFL’s innovations with it. Kickoffs are going to look generally like they do in college and the NFL. Teams will kick off from their 20 yard-line and can head downfield, as opposed to the XFL, which required kickoff teams to wait until the receiving team caught the ball before engaging.

Also, Becht has been told that the playoff format will include the regular season conference winners, and the two best teams, regardless of conference. <<

McCarron may want to get the reps... time will tell.
