Are any former Salukis playing in the new FB Leagues?

Are any former Salukis playing in the new FB Leagues?

I posted this last September.  It's the only news I've found to date:

 

The new AAF is actually starting next spring.  Deondre Barnett has been signed by Orlando as a LB.  He played DE for us after transferring from UCF.  So far, he's the only Saluki on the list.  There are 8 franchises.  Each player will receive a three-year, $250,000 contract with medical benefits and an "out clause" to go to the NFL.  Good luck to Deondre.

After getting home from watching the Dawgs, I watched the last 4-5 minutes of San Antonio- San Diego. It appeared better than Arena football, but was a small sample.

I watched Memphis @ Birmingham last night. Not bad for only having a few weeks to practice. (As Clint Eastwood said,"Better than watching the Grammies."

AAF already missed payroll.  Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon dropped in $250 million to keep it afloat.

...and it's finished. Just suspended operations.
