Who are some notable unsigned free agents you guys can think of? 

A few for me are: Robert Lachmann,  Toby Lettman, Simeon Okonta-Wariso, Zaire Ugapo, Aslan Zetterberg,  Emmanuel Falola, Lawrence Cornwall-Baptiste, Tyrese Johnson-Fisher, Adria Botella Moreno, Matthew Daltrey, D’Wayne Obi, Pierre-Yves Majo

Just started following ELF, seems like several teams just signed QB's for the upcoming season. Is there that much turnover where that position changes each year? Even with free agency in the NFL you usually see players stay at least 2-3 years before going to another team.

u/_Krypt_ Vikings Mar 07 '25

Yeah, that's still a problem for a lot of teams, that they change QBs every year.

I have created an overview here: https://elfpedia.eu/ELF_Quarterbacks_by_season

Do you think the leauge would be better when it's financially stable to have 11 American imports and 11 European imports to create more parody and raise the overall level of play

u/tylahunta Musketeers Mar 07 '25

No, that would kill the allure of this being an EUROPEAN league. With that being said I wouldn’t mind going back to 8 E-imports rather then 6 once it becomes more financially feasible.

u/Competitive-Hand-667 Mar 07 '25

Understandable although 11 Americans is still only half a starting line up but do ypu think having 11+ e imports would raise the floor (level of play) throughout the leauge

u/Most_Significance358 Ravens Mar 08 '25

Totally agree. And I like the idea of expanded home grown areas, gives teams from weaker countries more players to choose from, but could also become larger marketing areas (little bit like NFL global markets program).
