The article stated there were multiple teams interesated in Levao and the Jets were reported to be, the only team that offered him a multi-year contract. 2 hours ago, Doggin94it said: UDFA deals are typically for one-two years only; then the player is an ERFA Three years takes a player to Restricted Free Agency I think this is correct. I don't think he has any accrued years, so he would probably still be under team control even without the 3 year contract, so I'm not sure why he and his agent liked that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Also, why are people engaging Joe Willy? This seems like a poor decision to me, though I will probably make it from time to time myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not an UDFA, though. He's a 1st year player signing out of another league. I think people are getting too hung up on the length of contract stuff here - the only thing that really matters for these guys is guaranteed money, which will be minimal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are getting too hung up on the length of contract stuff here - the only thing that really matters for these guys is guaranteed money, which will be minimal. I understand what you're saying @mrcoops The only reason the length of the contract is being brought up, is because of what's being reported by Larsen below: Larsen explained that Levao garnered “plenty of NFL interest” and held “multiple” contract offers from NFL teams. However, he signed with the Jets because they offered him a multi-year deal which ended up being, “the biggest contract for any UFL player so far this offseason.” Here are some interesting stats I just stumbled across: Levao didn't allow a single sack on over 800 pass-block snaps over the last two seasons with the Brahmas. The Washington native also didn't allow a QB hit in 2024, posting consecutive Pro Football Focus pass-block grades of 77.3 and 74.2 in 2023 and 2024, respectively. I understand that level of competition in the UFL, is obviously a step down from the NFL, but this is still somewhat encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are getting too hung up on the length of contract stuff here - the only thing that really matters for these guys is guaranteed money, which will be minimal. I agree that people are getting too hung up on the length of the contract. That's what it took to sign him, and they evidently think he's worth it. I hope they're right. It doesn't really matter, but in a sense, he is a UDFA as he wasn't drafted by the Jets or any other NFL team and they signed him as a FA. I don't know anything about that other league, but common sense says that he wasn't under contract to that team or league now that their season was over, since the Jets didn't have to buy his contract from that team or trade anything to get him. Either Lovao's contract was up or all of the players in that league are just on 1-year contracts. The Jets didn't trade for him or draft him, so in essence he was/is a UDFA.

CanadaSteve Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 This is actually a good move. You want your GM getting better. Finding talent not just in rounds 1 and 2, but in rounds 6-7 and UDFA. He has now found a player in another league. Why do I like this move? Because playing in the UFL is still better than a college player. You have played at a professional level against other men. Will he pan out? Who knows. But it is a great way to find a potential player for a fraction of the cost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted Monday at 07:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:33 PM According to overthecap, Levao got a 3 year deal at minimum salaries, with no guaranteed money at all. I guess the "biggest contract in league history" stuff was just agent fluff. With zero guaranteed money, Levao might end up earning nothing if he fails to stick: https://overthecap.com/player/kohl-levao/12312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to know what to believe anymore, as far as information that's being reported these days. You can find information and quote a source (Just as I did) but there's really no guarantee that the information you found, is completely accurate.
