The XFL is about to get rolling. There are still a lot of big names out there that have been speculated to join at some time though. That includes Colin Kaepernick.
BetOnline.Ag has released odds on Kaepernick, and plenty of other former NFL stars, finding their way to the XFL.
Odds on first player to play in the XFL, via @betonline_ag:
Chad Johnson: 5/1
Pacman Jones: 7/1
Josh Gordon: 10/1
Johnny Manziel: 12/1
Randy Gregory: 12/1
Vontaze Burfict: 12/1
Colin Kaepernick: 20/1
Terrell Owens: 20/1
Dez Bryant: 33/1
Michael Vick: 50/1
Greg Hardy: 100/1— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) February 5, 2020
That's a very fun list. Currently, Kaepernick sits at 20/1 odds. The player with the best odds is Chad Johnson (Ochocinco) at 5/1. Meanwhile, Greg Hardy's 100/1 odds are the worst of any player listed.
Imagine an XFL with even half of those players in it. You're suddenly a lot more interested, aren't you? Even if you were already excited, it moves up a notch.
Johnson isn't the only former star receiver. Terrell Owens is on there too at 20/1 odds. Get those two back in uniforms and tell me you aren't going to watch that entertainment.
Josh Gordon (10/1) and Dez Bryant (33/1) also make the list.
Kaepernick is joined by Johnny Manziel (12/1) and Michael Vick (50/1) as the quarterbacks on the list. That's an exciting group. It's also a group that would have a lot of people wanting to tune in to see them lace it up again and see if they still got it.
It remains to be seen if any of these players will ever join the XFL. It's exciting that there is a league that might be housing these stars soon though.
Everyone can look at that list and see at least one player they believe should still be in the NFL or they want to see get one more chance. So if the XFL starts pulling these names, they might get a pretty large audience.
