You are correct with the lack of a name for the team just for the fact to get merchandise out there for the holiday season.

But there is a reason that Cleveland signed those free agents and more not listed above. They ARE fantastic players and you need fantastic Arena Football players to form the core of your team.

Sidelines is right about Columbus. Signing players based on their local celebrity status and not their on-field talent is a big mistake.

Sure, they can sign a ex-Buckeye or some past high school standout, but they can do that down the line, if they feel they need to, because they are not in high demand like a Philyaw or Hefflin.

Bernie and company are doing it right; grab big name talent from the AFL, sign afl2 stars and build around that strong nucleus.
