We received earlier today a link claiming that the UFL’s official site lists several former NFL players and/or free agents as members of the Omaha Nighthawks.
The list includes running back Justin Fargas, cornerback Fred Smoot, quarterback Patrick Ramsey, running back LaMont Jordan, and quarterback Brian St. Pierre.
The story has since been revised to explain that the names have been removed from the Nighthawks’ roster.
We’ve confirmed via our UFL sources (yeah, we have them) that none of the players have signed deals with the Nighthawks. Instead, they appear for now only on the team’s protected list. (Jordan no longer does; he previously was on the list.)
So some of the players eventually could become Nighthawks. For now, they’re not.
