While the NFL is beginning their free agency period, the UFL is beginning the start of the season. With kickoff of the XFL-USFL merger set for later this month, the United Football League trimmed its rosters with a first round of cuts. Each of the eight teams had to trim their roster to 58 by Sunday, a process that will continue until each team has a 50-man roster later in March. Among those 58 cut, six are former Steelers. NFL Draft Diamonds offered the complete list of names.
The most notable cut is RB Jaylen Samuels, released by the San Antonio Brahmas.
