Players will have an NFL opt-out in their contract after the season. These players will not be eligible to sign with NFL teams during this time. Select quarterbacks will work out with a “QB guy” during the fall and winter a few times a month to ensure the highest level of quarterback play during the season. The league would like to assign the top eight quarterbacks, one to each team, as they said it worked well in 2020. Some quarterbacks will be paid more, though that number is to be determined. Some may sign contracts prior to the draft, as league officials acknowledged the competition with other leagues may require them to act more quickly to sign certain players. This will allow them to sign with NFL teams during that fall and winter, even if they’ve accepted an invitation to the draft pool or have been drafted by an XFL team.
