I think this was a well played move by Thomas.

Hollis is not under contract with an NFL team at this time, so he’s free to play wherever he wants.

How does this work if he is under contract to an NFL team? Doesn’t their contract state that they can’t play football or engage in football-related activities without prior written permission from the team?

I think you’re giving too many people way too much credit. The word “genius” should not be anywhere near this article.

He won”t make it.
The buffet spread is non-existent in the UFL.

So this is the loophole! Be a free agent when you get in trouble or use drugs. Get paid by another league and when the season, and your suspension is over come back to the big boys.

I assume it hurts the UFL’s chances of becoming the NFL’s inevitable minor league as long as they ignore NFL-imposed suspensions. Why don’t we have a long-winded writeup on that?

I wonder if Thomas KNEW he was getting suspended and let Omaha know that so they would draft him? Seems after the Cushing thing that guys know they will be suspended months in advance. A little conspiracy theory in the UFL maybe???
