The Waiting Game
I ran into former UCLA football players Chris Markey and Kevin Brown on campus this week and both said they are staying in shape and waiting for an NFL team to call.
Brown learned quickly what a meat-market business the NFL is while with the Seattle Seahawks. He was getting ready to head out for his first practice of camp when word came the Seahawks signed draft pick Lawrence Jackson, and Brown was the casualty. He was released before he could get on the practice field.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
what are other preferable alternatives for players that dont get signed by the NFL but want to play elsewhere? european league? arena football?
