Through three weeks of the 2020 XFL season, the Tampa Bay Vipers remain the only team without a win and now their sometimes quarterback Quinton Flowers apparently isn’t satisfied with his role, and that has reportedly led to him asking for his release from the team according to Danny Jones of The Other League podcast:

? Quinton Flowers Update ?

I’m hearing (from an extremely reliable source) that TB QB, Quinton Flowers, who has taken a “leave of absence” according to Trestman, no longer wants to play the role of backup in Tampa and has requested his release.

I will work to confirm.

It seems as if his next preferred destination would be the New York Guardians.

And I’m hearing NY is his preference. Still wanting to confirm and hear it straight from the source.

As a follow-up to my last tweet about Tampa/Flowers.

It is highly unlikely Tampa grants him his release.

I have had 2 people tell me (separately) his desire is to play in NY or Seattle.

Again, highly unlikely that will happen.

Earlier this week, it was reported the Tampa Bay Vipers quarterback and wide receiver Quinton Flowers left the team for a “personal reason.”

This does not bode well for a team that is trying to create a fan base that barely comes out for the Tampa Bay Bucs.
