The UFL has stated that they'll "consider" allowing Michael Vick to play when their inaugural season kicks off in October. My response: Duh. The United Football League already goofed when they failed to promote their draft which was held on June 19th, a time when virtually no noteworthy news comes out of the NFL.
Getting Vick to play would be monumental for the league which has been set up rather nicely. The league's four teams will be coached by some pretty notable names: Jim Fassel will coach the Las Vegas franchise, Dennis Green (San Francisco), Ted Cottrell (New York), and Jim Haslett will coach the Orlando franchise who also drafted the rights to Vick should he be suspended by the NFL. Set aside the Vick situation, the NFL really should consider instituting the UFL as a farm system. NFL Europe obviously did not pan out, but giving teams an opportunity to develop players would boost the quality of play in the NFL.
Some notable names that will play in the UFL this season:
Adam Archuleta
Wendell Bryant
Brian Johnson
LaBrandon Toefield
Cecil Sapp
Brooks Bollinger
Mike Doss
Chris Perry
BJ Sams
