December 17 Transactions Update

The work of building for the 2025 Arena Football season continues! Our teams continue to sign talented players as we prepare for our debut season in 2025. Here is the December 17 Transactions Update.

With all of the action and signings from the past few days, coaching announcements, and league announcements, the excitment is building for the 2025 season. Players, fans, teams, and communities are all ready to see Arena Football return for the 2025 season.

Among the players in today's update, Michael Badejo stands out as a game-wrecking defensive lineman who is making his return to the 50-yard game. After spending previous seasons playing overseas in Germany, Badejo brings a relentless motor and ability to disrupt an offense to the Arizona Bandits. Arizona has been building a strong defensive unit, and if they continue to put playmakers like Badejo on the field, they will get multiple stops per game. As a graduate of Texas Southern, Badejo has played high level college football and is known for his tenacity on the field.

The following players have signed letters of intent (LOI) for the 2025 AF1 season.
