Rick Winkley formerly the owner of the Roseburg Valley Thunder of the 2017 Pacific Northwest Football League, bought the rights to the Washington Cavaliers after the team ended in 2016 from Bill Booth in 2017 and announced the formation of the Pacific Northwest Cavaliers organization that would begin workouts in October with hopes of hitting the field in the summer of 2018 in the WWFA.  Winkely dropped the black and red color scheme for silver and yellow, with white helmets.
 
In January of 2018 the Cavaliers took the field in the Pacific Northwest Football League out of the Portland, Oregon area where it finished 0-6 and being outscored 368-0.
 
Playing a second season in the Western Washington Football Alliance beginning in May of 2018, the Cavaliers hoped to compete with the major summer league teams, debuting their new red-on-red color scheme.  The results were much the same as the Cavs lost four straight to open the season.  Finally breaking through the win column 10 games into their 2-season run, the euphoria was short lived as the Pitbulls laid down a thumping which was followed with a forfeit to the Spokane Wolfpack.  Due to some oddities in the WWFA, the Cavaliers qualified for playoffs with a 1-5 record only to be bounced by the 4-5 Kitsap Storm 47-0.
 
Joining the Northwest Football League for 2019 the Cavaliers returned to the Bill Booth-era "Washington Cavaliers" name with black, red and white color schemes.  The change did little as the Cavaliers turned in a 0-6 performance marked by forfeiting their final two games after failing to score points in the previous four outings.
 
The NWFL along with most of the associated teams never returned to action as 2020 was lost to Covid-19 shut downs.  The Cavaliers among them with a 1-18 record to show for their three seasons.
