    LA Wildcats Notable Players

    Josh Johnson, QB

    Josh will be the starting quarterback for the Wildcats for week one of the 2020 XFL season.  He made his NFL debut for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 and has bounced around the league since then.  His athletic prowess has served him well over the years and has caused nightmares for defenses on the other side of the ball.  Luis Perez provided competition for Johnson in training camp, but was traded to the New York Guardians in late January of 2020.

    DuJuan Harris, RB

    Duane is poised to start the year as the lead running back for the Wildcats.  He has played for nine NFL teams and had his longest tenure with the Green Bay Packers from 2012-2014. He is an all-purpose running back that can do damage as a ball carrier and a receiver out of the backfield.  Harris looks to dart past defenders and propel the Wildcats to Western Conference dominance in 2020.

    Nick Novak, K

    Kicker Nick Novak has been in and out of the NFL since 2005 and most recently played for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017.  At 38 years old, Nick is looking to prove that he still has plenty of lift left in his leg.  He has enormous range to split the uprights with a career long of 53 yards.

    XFL Salaries

    The salaries for the Los Angeles Wildcats will be the exact same structure as all other teams in the XFL. While the average player salary is $55,000, that pay will be augmented by two weekly bonuses.  One weekly bonus will be based on roster availability.  Basically, if you are on a roster and not injured, you’ll get the bonus.  Another bonus will be awarded to the winning team each week.  Players on the winning side will receive a pot of money that will be split amongst the team evenly.  That’ll certainly keep the competition intense as there is hard money to be won.  Highly productive skill players will have the chance to earn a salary that is much higher than the average based on incentives and performance escalators.  The maximum salary that a head coach can earn per season is $500,000.
