Keary Colbert to UFL

From PFT:

Instead of waiting for a phone call that might never come from another NFL team, veteran receiver Keary Colbert has opted to run a new pattern.

He's the latest player with experience at the highest level of the sport to accept a step back to the UFL.

Colbert has signed with the Florida Tuskers, in a move announced this morning by the UFL.

A second-round pick in the 2004 draft from USC, Colbert spent four seasons with the Panthers. In 2008, he bounced from Denver to Seattle to Detroit.

Players on UFL teams may jump back to the NFL as of late November. Some, such as Florida quarterback Brooks Bollinger, could draw significant interest.

Bollinger has played well for the Tuskers, leading them to a 3-0 record. His 759 passing yards are the most in the four-team league.

The Tuskers host Las Vegas on Friday night at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. The contest might draw a few less people than the WVU-USF game that will be played in Tampa that same night.

In their last home game, the Bulls brought more than 55,000 to Raymond James Stadium, 13,000 more than the Bucs attracted four days later for a game against the Panthers.

i hope the ufl is successful, football is such a great sport, we need more minor leagues for some of these guys to show their skills. i don't see how baseball (god awful sport) and basketball does a better job with having minor professional leagues.

Keary Colbert is a good guy, I hope he does well in the UFL.

I remember seeing Colbert catch about 2 passes in 4 yrs so right now he has as many as Jarrett so I say any team outside of a High School team that signs him has to be desperate. Considering the Panthers are one of the most loyal Franchises in the Nfl and they let Colbert's sorry ass go should be a sign.

Colbert was actually give a decent role in the Carolina offense....he sucked. Jarrett has been given no role to prove anything.

Colbert caught 109 balls in Carolina.

In 4 years he had over 100 receptions as a panther WTF are you smoking.

Jarret will develop into a good receiver he just can't get passed Moose on the depth chart. And its not even based on receiving (I think at this point Jarrett>Moose in that) the only reason Moose still has a starting gig is because of his blocking and I think Jarrett is better at that then you all think. He catches every thing that gets to him. I see him at #2 with Moore at slot (or vice versa) sometime this season.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      Retired jersey, etc. It can't be done on Cam's terms.  'Be patient" and quiet about it is my advice.

      I see your point 100% and I agree with Cam in principle--but from the business side of things, it is not a valid argument.  Was he doing it for loyalty to the city or money?  He signed a contract and both sides fulfilled that contract, just like a teacher or a lawyer/client. Recently, I hired a stud lawyer at $550 per hour to sue my employer for violations to the UNC system policy that "injured" my professional status and reputation.  If he failed, he would have kept nearly $30,000. We won a big settlement.  Do I owe him more?  Should he be on our Christmas card list?  What if he went public and said, "I gave my all for MHS yet I am not invited to his house for Thanksgiving."  I did give him a positive review and sent his staff a gift card to a restaurant, but that was purely my idea.  Cam was paid about $110m for his time here. He signed a contract, he probably outplayed it and he sacrificed his body to keep Ron Rivera employed.  Not under debate.  But Cam's comment suggests that the franchise owes him more for doing his job well--at least in terms of honor and recognition--I agree, but it it can't come from Cam--and they owe him nothing. They should do it, and they will, but not on Cam's terms.  I also think it would be different if we had won a Super Bowl.  Frankly, Cam never had 2 winning seasons in a row--so I can see both sides.  Maybe only Dan Marino gets a statue without bringing Miami a ring; can you think of another?  Fran Tarkenton?  Warren Moon?  The Titans retired his jersey, and maybe the Panthers should do that for Cam--While I agree with Cam, I just think it should not come from Cam or people in his position. He played, got paid, and the rest is political, emotional, and cordial.  It seems petty coming from Cam.  So yeah, I feel you, but I don't think that statement helps him.  Just my perspective.
