The UFL has eclipsed 50 UFL to NFL signings; capped off by two San Antonio Brahmas who landed with rosters at the next level. WR Kawaan Baker has signed with the Green Bay Packers, while the Indianapolis Colts picked up EDGE Marcus Haynes.
WR Kawaan Baker
Kawaan Baker is an interesting UFL to NFL story. He didn’t play any snaps for the San Antonio Brahmas during the regular season, being cut early on in the year.
Baker’s got some NFL experience – and actually had already gone back to the NFL, with the Las Vegas Raiders. He was waived earlier this week, and now lands with the Green Bay Packers as they’re in need of some WR depth.
Kawaan is formerly a seventh round NFL draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2021.
EDGE Marcus Haynes
This is a signing I’m personally very excited about. Marcus Haynes has landed with the Indianapolis Colts, following a brief stint with the Brahmas in 2025. Marcus, who signed with San Antonio in the offseason, was picked up by the Cleveland Browns before he could play in the UFL.
With an early May release from Cleveland, Marcus made his way to the Brahmas – performing at a high level in a week 10 matchup where he totaled five tackles, a sack, and two TFL’s. Had Marcus been with the team the entire season, things could have looked quite a bit different up front.
