On April 2, 2019, the AAF suspended all football operations, apparently on AAF chairman Tom Dundon's orders. Players found out about the suspension through the Internet before their coaches confirmed the news. Players were evicted from the hotels where they were being housed and required to pay their own fare to return home. The AAF announced through their official Twitter account that players were eligible to leave their contracts to sign with NFL teams on April 4. The contracts originally signed included a stipulation that players could leave to sign with NFL teams at the conclusion of an AAF season.
