Xpress Makes Major Off Season Signing

At the end of last season the Xpress made it known that the organization would go hard after free agents to make the team stronger and more competitive then last season, and that's just what the organization went out and accomplished, they signed free agent DE/OLB Jody Linville to a 2 year deal. This signing was a major deal for our franchise. With all star weak side linebacker Gabriel Langley retiring, the Xpress signed Linville who was with the now defunct Dallas Bengals. He was their leading tackler and lead the team with double digit sacks. Signing Linville gives us a bigger WLB and a player that can play as a blitzing Linebacker in our 3-4 scheme or can be moved down to DE as a pass rusher.He is a player that has a non stop motor just like NMLF MVP Jeremy Rutherford and runner-up in sacks on the team Damian Collins. This signing was a major upgrade to the defense.
