Current 2025 Regular Season MFL Statistics    Flint: The Mafia curse continues In their Week Four game against Miami, the Flint Wheelers appeared well on their way to getting the monkeys off their backs. But, after Bo Nix and R.J. Harvey combined for multiple scores late, Miami pulled out the one-point win, taking their 20th win in 21 meetings with Flint, including their sixth in a row. We'll see how the 22nd meeting in 2026 goes... 9/16/25 St. Brown ties Flint receiving mark Despite falling at home to Chicago, Flint WR Amon-Ra St. Brown snagged 3 touchdown passes en route to tying the Wheelers franchise record for receiving TDs in a game. It's only the third time in franchise history that a player was able to pull off the feat and the first time since 2017. Michael Crabtree achieved the mark twice Flint. 9/11/25 Varks win 8th straight season opener; Chicago, Missouri end streaks Week One of the MFL season is in the books and the Aardvarks have an unlikely streak that continues into 2026. Arkdale has now won eight consecutive opening games, last losing in 2017. The streak is the second-longest in MFL history behind Pittsburgh, who won 10 straight from 2003 to 2012. Meanwhile, Missouri finally ended their season-opening futility, winning in Week One for the first time since 2019. On the other side, Chicago, who lost to Missouri, dropped their first opener since 2020; in addition, they had started 2-0 in each of the last four years. 8/10/25 Phase II closes with a flurry of activity, big cuts The end of Phase II has been relatively quiet in recent years. Not in 2025. A couple of trades took place on the last day, with the Mafia involved in both. Miami got Trey Benson and sent Jaylen Warren packing, scoring a 2026 pick from Canton while giving up their rights to No. 20 to Pittsburgh next Sunday. But the biggest news came from South Bend and Arkdale. Both teams elected to hit the reset button on their clubs and work toward a new-look roster this season. While Arkdale cut the most players, South Bend cleared the most cap space prior to the draft. Pink slips went to several big names: QB Joe Burrow, WR Marvin Harrison Jr., QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Jaylen Waddle, WR Adam Thielen, and WR Khalil Shakir, among others. It's expected that all will have little trouble finding new addresses next weekend. 8/9/25 Details of Arkdale-Missouri deal As Draft Day approaches, the Arkdale Aardvarks decided that getting multiple players and multiple picks was worth dealing away the top selection and the potential rights to Ashton Jeanty. The Missouri Peregrines will now have the No. 1 overall pick for the second time by sending QB Jared Goff, WR D.K. Metcalf, the No. 3 pick, and the No. 15 pick. While a high price to pay, the Peregrines were in search of a top-tier running back after years of despiration. Meanwhile, the Varks shore up a shaky receiver corps and snag a possible starter at QB, all while suffering a very low payroll impact and maintaining a Top 3 pick. 8/8/25 Commissioner: Mid/post-draft roster & payroll rules adjusted in 2025 and beyond A press release from the office of MFL Commissioner Drew Kuespert was issued addressing some of the confusing and convoluted roster and payroll rules that exist during and after the draft. The memo states that "while teams are expected to remain within the constraints of 23 roster players and $23 million in total salary in the midst of the MFL Draft, it causes difficulty and delays when teams have been asked to make cuts mid-draft." He added that "moving forward, the expectation is that member clubs operate under a 'good faith effort' to keep their rosters and payrolls within the extended constraints." Finally, he wrapped up by saying that "the MFL will continue to adhere to these extensions" and that "teams will still be required to cut back to 23 players (or less) and $23 million (or less) within a reasonable timeframe after the draft", although the office stopped short of setting a firm deadline. Basically, teams should quickly do their own math and get below the roster and payroll extensions after the draft ends as soon as possible to avoid issues and delays with finalizing post-draft rosters and loading them into the MFL on ESPN interface. 8/3/25 Phase II begins The 2025 MFL calendar has officially begun as Phase II of Player Releases started at 12:01am on Sunday. Teams are not obligated to make any cuts, but should they choose to do so, they will need to complete them by 11:59pm on Sunday, August 10. All cuts are to be made via email or text to the commissioner directly. Member clubs may cut any players on their roster, but cannot sign free agents. Once the deadline passes, all MFL rosters are frozen, meaning that no transactions of any kind are permitted until the commencement of the MFL Draft the following week. 7/31/25 Question marks for rookies who missed The Online 30 cut There are three rookies who didn't make The Online 30, but might garner some attention in the MFL Draft in August. Cam Ward, where are you? The No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft barely registered on Dr. K's radar. However, he may find a home by the second or third round from a team willing to take a chance on him and giving the QB time to grow. PK Tyler Loop has some big shoes to fill...literally. He will start and has quite a leg, bombing a 68-yarder in practice recently, making him very attractive to a team in great need. But, one player that didn't even get the time of day in the good doctor's survey: QB Shedeur Sanders. The former college standout has found out that his climb to the top will start at the very bottom. He may be a late-round gamble for a team open to wait and see how his 2025 campaign pans out. 7/7/25 Henry heads to Miami, Mixon moves again After just one season in Canton, Derrick Henry is heading to Miami. The co-leader in rushing last season will take his talents to South Beach and will give the Mafia a powerful and formidable backfield in 2025 despite missing out on a first round pick. Meanwhile, Joe Mixon will be moving back to Canton in exchange, along with Nick Chubb. Mixon spent most of his career with Canton before playing just one season in D.C. last year. The deal gives the Cougars much more cap room heading into August's draft, while losing only 2 net rushing TDs from a year ago between the main principals of the trade. |
