    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NFL | Sanders meets with Arena League TeamWed, 5 Apr 2006 14:02:42 -0700Eric Ransom, of the Austin American-Statesman, reports former NFL CB Deion Sanders met with Austin Wranglers officials Wednesday, April 5, in Austin to discuss joining the Arena Football organization. Sanders and team officials did not specify what type of role he is seeking. "I'm very interested in arena football," Sanders said. "I love the game and have loved it for years. I really just have the time and commitment to give to it, so I'm exploring the opportunities." The signing period for Arena Football League free agents has passed for this year, but Sanders didn't rule out joining the Wranglers on the field.</div>http://www.kffl.com/hotw/nfl

    That would be awesome seeing him in the AFL since he's one of my favorite players. I would actually start watching some AFL.

    I agree, except I don't think I get many Austin Wranglers broadcasts

    I doubt he'd play CB. I think he'd play WR, and maybe CB.

    Arena football is fun, but not as fun as in the NFL, this guy is really stupid to give up the nfl for something like this.

In the past, there was 1 offensive specialist (QB) & 1 defensive specialist (usually FS). Recently they implemented a second offensive specialist (WR) and a second defensive specialist (usually LB).Three linemen play both ways, 2 of the 3 WRs play both ways, and the FB plays both ways.About Neion Deion joining the Wranglers, I saw an ESPN report that said he was interested in an ownership role, only. However, I don't think it's a stretch to say he would consider playing a la Michael Jordan w/the Wizards.

    Deion Sanders would own the Arena league, even at his age...

    I think he is washed up, doesn't want to admit he can't play in the NFL any more...
