Merchantmen acquire QB England
QB Winfred England will move from the Augusta Greenjackets to the Maassluis Merchantmen. It means the departure from his original team for the 40-year old after 15 seasons in which he missed only 6 regular season games and guided them to the playoffs 8 times, including a 7-season streak from 2095-2101. The 2102 season was his first to throw more interceptions than touchdowns and he fell out of favor.
The Merchantmen missed out on Angel Henson earlier today and apparently quickly readapted by sending their 4th and 6th round draft picks for the veteran, he had been on the trade block throughout the off-season. This could spell the end of the Earnest Ashley era, despite that England would most logically be just a short-term successor. Ashley has been the Merchantmen starting quarterback for 9 seasons and so far hasn't guided the team into the playoffs at all. The only other 10-season playoffs drought in Maassluis saw the Merchantmen quarterbacked by Hall of Famers Louie Flannery and "Rusty" Harrison from 2013 through 2022, with Harrison taking over in 2020. The Merchantmen hope to snap this streak in the upcoming 2103 season.
