Quarterback J.P. Losman wants to get back to the NFL.
And winning Friday’s UFL title game could help get the attention of a team that might need a quarterback down the stretch.
“My whole thing was about getting better
and showing [the NFL] I could still play at a high level,” said the only quarterback picked in round one of the 2004 draft who hasn’t gotten a nine-figure second contract.
Losman, who will start for the Las Vegas Locomotives, and Florida Tuskers quarterback Brooks Bollinger could both land at the bottom of an NFL depth chart for the stretch run, especially if guys like Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger continue to come down with concussions.
Or they might get opportunities to compete in the 2010 offseason and training camp.
Bottom line? When the NFL offseason comes around, they’ll both have film of live game reps that can be used to help make their cases for another chance at the pro version of the sport that people actually watch and follow.
Worst-case scenario? They’ll be welcomed back to the UFL with open arms in 2010.
If, that is, there is a UFL in 2010.
so does mike williams.
Maybe the Bills want him back at this point?
I think Jim Kelly should give him a phone call.
If Chris Simms has a job as a backup QB in the NFL then I don’t see any reason why Losman and Bollinger shouldn’t be in the NFL.
Hey, who the hell is J.P. Losman?
Looks like there’s all of about 500 people in the stands, so you’re point about if there is a UFL next year is probably valid.
boohoo.
Is there a reason that the Raiders don’t grab him now?
Is there a reason that the Raiders don’t grab me now?
J.P. Losman wants back in the NFL and I want Beyonce to quit calling me. Life’s a bitch sometimes.
Reading this thread, you’d think the UFL was a tennis league. It just goes to show that what people have really bought into is branding, and not the love of the game.
If it was about talent level, no one would watch college football, either. Most of those college players aren’t good enough to play in any professional football league. After all, Losman and Bollinger were standouts in college. Success in sports media has nothing to with fans who “love” a sport and everything to do with star power and branding.
