Come on, David Akers by head kick!! Haha. Good point, but wouldn't they be temporarily free of their contracts since the owners are locking them out?
If he was younger, I would've said Stephen Neal (Patriots O-lineman) should give it a go. He holds an NCAA wrestling victory over Brock Lesnar. But Neal is way past his prime and has dealt with a bunch of injuries so he's pretty much out of the equation.
I doubt it would happen, but Jared Allen (Minn. Vikings DE 6'6" 270) has been training for a few years now. He's 28 and a great athlete. Great Athletes have the ability to progress super fast. If not a pro-fight, than at least there will be a lot more time for training. Maybe in a few years we're talking about the Heavyweight contender and former NFL star, Jared Allen.
