Guys,
Wanted to post this response I got from Bob Carroll of Pro Football Research Association - Pro Football History.
Bob was kind enough to put together a response including the Roster for the BullDogs and a brief summation of how the NY teams, of the Era worked out. Just trying to close the loop.

The New York Bulldogs played only in 1949. They succeeded the Boston Yanks in the NFL when Yanks owner Ted Collins made a deal to sell his franchise back to the league and then purchase a new team to olay in New York.

Bobby Layne came over in a deal with the Chicago Bears, but Landry continues to play with the 1949 New York Yankees of the AAFC. In 1950, Landry was one of six former Yankees that were awarded to the New York Giants as part of the merger between the two leagues. Most of the former Yankees joined Collins' team which was re-named New York Yanks. Layne was traded to Detroit for fullback Camp Wilson who retired.
