I thought this was interesting, found it in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly:

Believe it or not

Q: Is Visual Concept - developer of the forced into early retirement NFL 2K series - now making a football game starring a bunch of Hall of Famers?

A: Apparently so. We hear that VC is quietly going around and signing several old-time football legends to contracts, which will enable the company to use their names and likenesses in a videogame. Now, you might be asking yourself, "How can another company sign these guys? I thought EA had the exclusive NFL license?" That's true, but once a player retires he's no longer part of the NFL Players Association - so that makes him a free agent. Look for these old farts to return to the gridiron in 2006.
