The AAF has officially folded.   As of yesterday, it gave its players the green light to sign NFL contracts.   So far, the following players have been signed:

Garrett Gilbert-  Cleveland
Keith Reaser- Kansas City
Rashard Ross- Carolina
De'Vante Bausby- Denver
Brandon Silvers- NY Jets
Morgan Burnett- Cleveland

I'm sure more will sign in the coming days and especially during the UDFA period right after the draft.  This proves that the AAF was working and had a good concept going for it.   Bad management and lack of funding up front killed it.

I'm bummed the Dolphins didn't grab Garrett Gilbert.  He actually had a chance to play this year lol.

Training camp cannon fodder.  "The defense needs some reps hitting people and we don't want to risk anyone who is going to be on the regular season roster.  So go take some handoffs."

You may be right.  But maybe a few of these guys can prove their worth and stick on a roster.   That's what the AAF was for.   

Looks like the list of players signed has grown exponentially.

Some of these guys might only be OTA fodder at get cut once teams can sigh this years crop of UDFA.
