UFL IS NOT A D-LEAGUE

Losman Signs With Seattle Seahawks. Daunte Culpepper signs with UFL's Mountain Lions

It was announced today that J.P. Losman, the starting Locos QB last season has signed with the Seattle Seahawks. More info here.

Does this mean that since it's highly unlikely that Losman will be returning to the Locos that Tim Rattay will be our starting quarterback? Or do you think Jim Fassel and the coaches are going to try to find someone else? I hope they give Rattay a shot. I saw him play against the Sentinels last year, and he still looked pretty good.

Also today, there are a lot of reports emerging that Daunte Culpepper is heading to the UFL's Sacramento Mountain Lions. This is big news for the league! Hopefully there will be more big name signings to discuss soon.
