Could Patriots sign any XFL players after league suspends play?

Bill Belichick is an opportunist, and a new opportunity may have just presented itself to the New England Patriots head coach.

The XFL announced Thursday it has suspended its 2020 season, joining several professional sports leagues that have put their seasons on hold amid the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the fledgling league has told players they can sign with any interested NFL team immediately after completing exit physicals Friday.

The XFL has advised players they can sign immediately with teams in the NFL or any other league once their exit physicals are complete tomorrow, per sources.
