NFL Teams May Sign XFL Players As Of Today, And Steelers Likely To Be Interested (Eventually)

This would undoubtedly mean a lot more under different circumstances, but as of today, the NFL has officially given the go ahead for teams to reach contracts with teams who were signed under the XFL, the upstart Spring league that due to the COVID-19 pandemic was forced to cut its inaugural season short after just five weeks of play.

Actually, teams have been eligible to signs players who were under contract with the XFL as of 9AM this morning, so for five hours. But given the current situation, with team facilities shut down and all travel for teams prohibited, I would guess that very few if any players are going to be signed right away.
