Some notes from the Meeting;

XFL is willing to spend money to induce first-year players to skip the 2019 NFL season to prepare for the XFL.
The league could target fringe players, who aren’t drafted and are being offered small free agent signing bonuses.
The league could also offer higher bonuses to players cut in preseason camp or at the final cutdown.
