On the same day that one of New York’s NFL teams entered into a fairly lucrative financial arrangement with its starting quarterback, New York’s UFL franchise announced that agreements entailing far fewer dollars and cents have been struck with 19 players.
Notable names include tight end T.J. Cottrell (the son of head coach Ted Cottrell), former NFL quarterback Quinn Gray, former Utah quarterback Brian Johnson, and former NFL running back Cecil Sapp.
Missing from the list is former NFL defensive end Simeon Rice, who reportedly has been negotiating with the team that will begin playing games in October 2009.
