The 33-year-old hired agent Leigh Steinberg, who announced the player’s intentions on his Twitter account Wednesday:
#VinceYoung Welcome new client @VinceYoung10 who has dream of playing more football,being role model @Longhorn_FB@LonghornNetwork
Young first made a name for himself at the University of Texas, where he finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2005 and led the Longhorns to a national title that same season.
While Young bounced around after his failed stretch with the Eagles, including opportunities with the Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, he couldn’t stick in any spot.
The signal-caller officially announced his retirement in 2014, although in an interview with KXAN Radio, he qualified it with, “Unless we get a great opportunity, something guaranteed,” via ESPN.com’s Max Olson.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported in January that Young has some interest from the Spring League.
