Training camp is behind us and we get ready to start the preseason. Currently our league is full but I have concerns about New England since the owner hasnt logged in since 2/28 and he is -23 million under the cap. I have sent him PMs but obviously he hasnt logged in to see them. If he doesnt log in by the next spin, I may kick him off the team. Im debated if I should take temp control of his team to fix the cap issues or just letting the A.I. do its thing. Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.

Besides that, season 6 looks to be the most competive season we have ever had in the XFL. The following is my training camp review where I break down each teams draft picks into the following categories.
