2016 Offseason Recap: Expansion Draft Complete

Updated: Mar 12, 2021

Valor, Brigade, Alphas and Predators Rosters are Set

A Lot of Talent Migrate to the Alliance

October 15, 2016

Austin, TX - Commissioner Oliver Luck announced that the AAF has concluded their expansion draft and that the rosters for the Washington Valor, Baltimore Brigade, Orlando Predators and Chicago Alphas are near complete.

The talent level on these four teams rival those of the eight original Alliance teams of last year, and that's saying something. We believe these teams will be competitive instantly.

However, the AAF did have a few casualties of the draft today. Drafted players RB Tre Mason, RB Ka'Deem Carey and WR Josh Huff all decided to sign with the CFL instead. Mason signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, while Huff and Carey signed with the Calgary Stampeders.

Wildcat starting RB Joe McKnight Slain

December 1, 2016

Terrytown, LA - Los Angeles Wildcats starting running back Joe McKnight was murdered in a road rage incident while visiting his hometown in Louisiana. The former 5 star recruit and USC football standout was only 28 years old at the time of his death.


The sad offseason continues for the Wildcats who also lost their Head Coach Dennis Green just a few months ago.
