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.

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      Gambling in the first three rounds just makes the building effort longer. So you have to weigh that into the equation. Ultimately, you want to get to a situation where those picks net you at least one starter/starting caliber player and two very good rotational players(at LEAST) almost every year. That can get us back on track. So if you are having to just take a raw gamble in those rounds, versus a guy that can help you win games....I don't think we are in a good spot to be able to afford to do that. Definitely not year after year.

      I mean, someone has to start. If we are rolling out Brycd for 17 games in 2025, I suppose that means we will get to watch the rebuilding process all over again. You can try and get another veteran QB in free agency but they will also have a salary attached.  If you want to take a gamble on another young and bust QB, that's fine but that also likely leads to more rebuilding after the 2025 season. Those guys so rarely pan out. So what is left? Draft a QB? Sure, maybe. But this isn't an impressive QB draft on paper and they are going to be walking into a challenging situation. Dalton as starter in 2025 isn't waving the white flag, IMO. It's just acknowledging that we have to start attempting to build a franchise.  That said, I would never be giving out $20+ mil contracts for older QB's(Flacco, Dalton, etc). That ship has sailed.

      I guess bottom line is we need to give Canales a shot at His QB. However they find it.  Ideally we would sign an undervalued vet that Canales knows what he is getting, and start looking hard for one we can grab at good value and groom. And for me it is okay to burn a pick on a miss just don't cripple your future. Hitting on your other picks should allow for a long shot every so often.
