Preseason

After the contract of head coach Kirk Heidelberg wasn't extended, the Cologne Centurions secured the services of Frank Roser.[1][2] In September 2021, their league MVP Madre London re-signed with the Centurions for the 2022 season.[3] However, in March 2022, he joined the Pittsburgh Maulers of the United States Football League ahead of the league's inaugural season.[4]
