Perkins, 28, passed for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns and added five rushing touchdowns despite missing three games.

His Panthers will take on the D.C. Defenders in the UFL Championship game on Saturday in St. Louis.

Taumoepenu, 31, led the UFL with 7.5 sacks, forced three fumbles and anchored a defense that allowed a league-best 16.3 points per game.
