    Why Dolfans should care:

    This means eliminated teams players are free to be worked out, with Chris Palmer in CT as the Head Coach of the Colonials, there roster has some Ex Dolphins:

    -Josh McCown: Are you really comfortable with Patrick Ramsey as the #2 Qb? McCown has 25 career starts and was in camp in 08.

    -Jy Bond: if Fields goes down, Bond was in camp also in 08

    -Vince Oghabaase DT from Duke

    Because the players threatened a walk off if they followed through with that plan.

    As in, season over, walk off.

    UFL has a single elimination playoff series, #4 plays #5, winner plays #3, and so on.

    That means guys like Culpepper or Garcia will more than likely be there for awhile longer.

    marked down to 25k, of which the players will pay to land on a NFL roster to be sure, the UFL Commish may have killed his own league as no proven Vets will sign with them if they cannot parlay it into a NFL chance after the UFL season.

    In essence, unless the policy is modified the UFL will be little more than a repository for finished NFL players and green horns.
