On a related note, the new USFL has apparently folded already.

The Pats are one of the last teams signing their draft picks. This would

give the UFL a good chance to target the Pat's 5th, 6th and 7th round picks.

They never played a single game, did they?

Actually, I believe that the Patriots hold exclusive rights to the players they drafted, whether they are signed or not. Same goes with every other team. That's why, for example, the Saints can't target a Patriots unsigned draft pick. The Patriots own them until they say otherwise.

Is that just in the same league though? If the players aren't under contract, you'd think they'd be able to sign with another league.

Yup. An unsigned player would be free to sign with the UFL, the Arena League, or the NBA if he wanted to, just not with any other NFL team.

The USFL played three seasons. A lot of future big-name NFL stars played in it, such as Steve Young, Jim Kelly, and Reggie White, just to name three. Marv Levy coached there.

It's funny that one of the two guys that founded the UFL was also a minority partner of the Oakland Invaders in the USFL. Guess he didn't learn his leason.

What's even funnier is that the USFL is slated to come back in 2010, with 12 teams playing a 16 game season.

Lotta money in football. In case nobody noticed, it's pretty popular. LOL. I hope one of these leagues can become watchable and start their season in Febuary...
