Losman signs with UFL

Former Buffalo Bills quarterback J.P. Losman signed Tuesday with the Las Vegas franchise in the United Football League, which will kick off its first season in October

Losman, a first-round draft pick in 2004 out of Tulane, is the most notable player to sign with the fledgling UFL so far
Jim Fassel is coach of the Las Vegas franchise.


If they dont pick up some big names, the league isnt going to be very successful. I am kind of hoping they give the NFL some competition.

Re: Losman signs with UFL

Wouldn't it be a hoot to see the kid turn into a big star in the UFL?

Re: Losman signs with UFL

I think they should concentrate on regional college stars that are a shad under NFL starter quality.

Build a base that area fans can recognize, and slowly move up to NFL standards later on.

In the past, all leagues have tried to grow too quickly I think.

Re: Losman signs with UFL

These are the kind of guys the UFL needs the guys who messed up as NFL starters but still have still some talent and could be good. Guys like Loseman, Rex Grossman, those type of guys could make this league some what legit

I used to think Losman was gunna be a solid player in the NFL! It surprised me to see them get rid of him! Then he couldn't find another gig in the NFL... wow

In 2006 he threw for 19 TD... to 14 INT... and have over 3,000 yards passing... not bad for a young guy.

Oh well

In this economy, they can't afford to wait too long. Regional players can help fill out a roster, but they need star power.

Naw, an economy can sustain a good product with a good financially sound plan...the WFL and USFL both did the same thing...they had bidding wars with the NFL for players...and they did not last...time to try a different plan...and well there was the XFL...that was waaaay different...but look at the Arena league...there has been a structure in place salary wise and its geared to a certain level of player and they still manage to draw fans...

And the Arena League was forced to cancel its 2009 season, was it not?
Simply put, people aren't going to tune in if they don't care about the guys on the field.
