A judge did indeed grant Maurice Clarett permission to travel outside of Ohio, and Clarett took full advantage of it by trying out for the United Football League's Omaha Nighthawks. Today, Clarett signed with the Nighthawks and said:
↵↵↵“I am humbled by the opportunity the Omaha Nighthawks have given me and will dedicate myself on and off the field to prove that I can be a valuable member of the team and the Omaha community,” Clarett said. “I am committed to working hard to earn the right for a second chance in football and more importantly in life.”

As the AP reports, Clarett will still need a judge to allow him to travel with the team for road games.
↵The UFL is a far cry from the NFL, but it will certainly provide a challenge for Clarett as he acclimates to the game once again.
