UFL Trade Blockbuster: Stallions, Storm and Kings, Defenders Swap Stars
📖 Full Retelling
The UFL announced today a pair of trades involving four teams on Sunday evening. The Birmingham Stallions are sending quarterback Matt Corral and defensive end Amani Bledsoe to the Orlando Storm in exchange for quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. In a separate transaction, the DC Defenders have acquired quarterback Jason Bean from the Louisville Kings in exchange for quarterback Mike DiLiello. Corral, 27, has started all four games for the Stallions so far this season. He has completed 64.5% of his passes (the third-best mark in the league among quarterbacks) for 768 yards (fourth-best) and five touchdowns (third-best). However, the Stallions have struggled to find a rhythm this season — their first without former head coach Skip Holtz. Former UFL product and ex-Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron is now at the helm for Birmingham, which sits at 1-3 on the season headed into Week 5. Corral joins an undefeated Storm team currently being led by Jack Plummer (853 passing yards and seven passing touchdowns through four games). Corral spent the past two seasons (2024 and 2025) with the Stallions after short stints in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, and Minnesota Vikings. He was taken in the third round (94th overall pick) of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Panthers out of Ole Miss. In addition to Corral, the Storm are also getting Bledsoe, who has 13 tackles, 1.0 sacks and one tackle for loss in four games for Birmingham this season. The 28-year-old recorded 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks with the then-Dallas Renegades last season. Bledsoe, an undrafted free agent after the 2019 NFL Draft, spent time in the league playing for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Tennessee Titans. He also had a short stint on the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad. The Stallions will receive Thompson-Robinson, 26, who has appeared in just one game this season for the Storm. A UCLA product, Thompson-Robinson finished his career with the Bruins as the school's all-time leader in total of
