some former panthers were at tryouts....this league at least on the outside seems to be ran a lil diff than the other failed football leagues..but you never know would love some football now

first-round pick Travis Taylor and former Arizona Cardinals first-round selection David Boston were a few of the players in attendance, UFL spokeswoman Rachel Gary told us in a telephone interview today.

Besides Taylor, other ex-NFL players on hand included: tight end Jermaine Wiggins, quarterback Quinn Gray, wide receiver Reche Caldwell and running back LaBrandon Toefield and wide receiver/defensive back Bobby Sippio

Sure they could make it. When they understand that they need to play in the Spring when the NFL is not playing. As long as they are trying to compete directly to the NFL it doesn't matter, they lose. Playing a different season, they've got a chance...

I'll watch, just because it's football.

Same here.

While the talent level of the players will undoubtedly be lower than in the NFL, it will be interesting to see former NFL or college players playing. Take Toefield, for instance. Running back is the last position we need depth at right now, but when we picked him up a lot of us were really hoping Toefield would have been a complimentary back to Williams (before Stewart, of course).

So while I can't say I'm sorry he's not a Panther right now, I can say I really wanted to see if he'd work out. I think it would be great to follow the many other players who, for one reason or another, never really got their shot in the NFL (or did, and blew it entirely).

And yes, it is football.

I guess if I were to design a product I would not choose to go up against one of the most successful franchises in existence.

A rival baseball league has more of a chance

This is true..but the NFL needs a minor league..something most other sport leagues have..if done right it could be very good..

Absolutely, I've got no problem with that. The problem is that they are going to try to compete directly with the NFL and that's just not gonna happen. If they played their season in the Spring, then they'd have a chance. Buit there's no way they have a chance in September...

It's interesting, there's minor talent but I think we'll see a different form of the game. There's a lot of tremendous athletes out there who couldn't make it in the NFL due to the system they played in or because of position changes, we'll probably see a lot of different styles in the UFL and it will be better than Arena in any event.

      Jadeveon Clowney upset about being released

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Before the draft, Panthers G.M. Dan Morgan was vague when asked about the future of edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney. After the draft, a report emerged that the Panthers engaged in pre-draft conversations about possibly trading Clowney. It was no shock, then, when the Panthers moved on from Clowney, on Thursday. In eleven NFL seasons, Clowney (the first overall pick in 2014) has played for the Texans, Seahawks, Titans, Browns, Ravens, and Panthers. He fully intends to keep going. “I’m definitely gonna play well,” Clowney told Joseph Person of TheAthletic.com. “You can mark my word on that. I don’t care where I end up playing at, I’m gonna play extremely well.” Clowney seemed to disagree with the Panthers’ decision to part ways. “I think I played well for Carolina [last] year, considering the circumstances that . . . unfolded for me,” Clowney said. “I played with a bunch of guys that was hurt this past year. And I ended up playing extremely well for them. So it is what it is. I can play the game. I can play football. There are 31 other teams. I just hope another team gives me that opportunity so I can prove myself again. I feel like I can do that.” “I got a sense then they wanted me out of the building,” Clowney said. “I was just like, ‘Y’all could’ve told me this back when I was coming in here during the offseason.’ I kind of had a sense, though. I’ve been around the game long enough to know, so I was OK.”

      Didn’t they sign an edge from the Vikings who’s a multi year starter?
