Top 5 Free Agency moves: 2017

PFL Free Agency 2017 |Ryan Solis

Before the draft, teams are still addressing needs through free agency. Here are the PFLdotcom’s top five free agency pickups for this spring:

1. Kurt Sierra (QB) New Jorg 96ers

With a lack of high-quality QBs expected in the 2017 draft, this was a great move from the ‘Sixers to get in a veteran QB who can lead this attack. Sierra was dependable in Harteford and although he had troubles staying on the field in 2015 and 2016, he looked to be back to his old self. Continue reading Top 5 Free Agency moves: 2017

Dexter Williams going at three was a bit of a surprise, as was Calvin Smith being in the first round. Dre Nalen fell to no.10, the Sharks deciding they could not pass up this opportunity.

The 96ers and Oilers do have potential game-changers (or game-breakers) on their hands. Two stud players that really stood out in this class of 2017.
Most teams you can say have upgraded well with the first round selections.
The proof. though, will be when we see those players suit up and go at it, later this year.

 

 

Storm Suspend PFL Operations

The Seafax Storm have suspended operations in the Professional Football League. All players and coaching staff have been informed of the teams decision.

The team was losing money on and off the field and owner Ted Samuels has decided to pull the plug. Only an average of 21,000 saw the last three home games. Ten years ago, they had a 40,000+ average. What happens next to the players and staff is a little unclear as the PFL season is about to enter the play-offs.

With the Victoria Panthers already winding down their current PFL existence, this would leave the league with 18 teams, pending the futures of Pottsburgh and Amorgan still being debated.

Pottsburgh and Amorgan have both been found to have broken Eborian Tax laws and contravened PFL financial rules- the penalties can result in expulsion from the league. Their appeals are due to be heard in late January 2017.

We await further news that will no doubt be on interest to the Seafax fanbase.
