It's no longer a secret. The Xfl will make a comeback attempt in the year 2020. There are no team names, logos, or players signed yet, but that is going to change quickly. The first quarter of 2019 will bring the first news of teams bringing on players. Perhaps a former NFL quarterback will get a gig? Here are five players that have odds to get into the XFL.
Colin Kaepernick (+100 or even odds)
The controversial figure within the NFL is surprisingly the odds-on-favorite to become an XFL player. It's an interesting notion, considering the fact that Vince McMahon seems to be against players kneeling or putting politics into their on-field routines. Still, oddsmakers have Kap at +100 or even odds to join the XFL.

Johnny Manziel (+200 or 2-1)
The 26-year-old is the youngest of the five names on this odds list, so he could make the most sense. A former No. 22 pick for the Browns in 2014, he didn't pan out in the league after off-field issues. He ultimately joined the Canadian Football League and played in eight games for the Montreal Alouettes this season.
