Who are the New Orleans Breakers Top Players
Jonathan Adams
Johnnie Dixon
Jerod Fernandez
Having a relatively successful season in 2022 by making the division finals, the Breakers would be looking to go farther by winning the division finals and going through to the championship game.
Seeing that they have retained a good number of high-performance players such as Jonathan Adams and Johnnie Dixon makes this a good possibility. Having a new quarterback would prove to be a difficult transition into the season but with effective training and strategy, the Breakers might be able to inch closer to the championship than the last year.
What is the New Orlean Breakers Win-Loss Record?
While we wait to see what record the New Orleans Breakers finish with in the upcoming USFL season, the Breakers completed the 2022 season with a 6-4 win-loss record securing them the 2nd place in their division and taking them to the division finals. They lost the division finals against the reigning champions, Birmingham Stallions, and fell out of postseason contention.

How much did the New Orleans Breakers Cost to Buy
