My uninformed impression is that it might have been a smaller number than last year. Hey, gilthethrill, do you know?
The information that Waffle provided is what I was looking at as well. However many XFL and USFL players were let go and a few were signed as the NFL season progressed.

I think its worth mentioning too, that any XFL/USFL player that wanted to be drafted by the newly formed UFL had to sign a “Letter of Intent” if they wished to be included in the “Merger Draft”. A lot of the players didn’t want to do that and either retired or signed with a CFL team.
