Fast forward to now and Young is broke and out of football. After pouting and playing his way out of Tennessee, he's bounced around to the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills, not looking anything like the player scouts thought he would be coming out of Texas.
Young is looking for a job and is going to give it the old college try. Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated reported that Young is returning to Texas to finish his degree and work out at Texas' pro day in front of NFL scouts.
Young doesn't have many chances left if any. Young will have to perform out of his mind to impress the scouts and front office personnel that he's worth a roster spot. If he can do that he would also need to play the happy camper and realize that he's no longer starting material and barely second string material. And for the money that he thinks he's gonna get, no one will sign a third stringer for that price.
I would hope he makes it so he can at least get back on his feet financially, but the odds aren't in his favor.

The only way I would consider signing him is if my team was running a read option/spread style offense and I needed a back-up (3rd stringer), and he came cheap. He would probably be my last option as well.
He wouldn't be on my list either. But like you said,if he came cheap and depending what system you were running it MIGHT work.
