Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVante Parker officially threw in the towel last month, which means he has more time to spend on his latest venture.
Sources tell A to Z Sports' Travis May that Parker has invested in the Prague Lions, a European League of Football team.
Per May, Parker has teamed up with new team president Mason Parker, former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew, former lead singer Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, and Nashville entrepreneurs Andy Moats, Tom Fox, and Will Lower.
"Pumped to be part of the ownership group of the Prague Lions! As I move into this next phase of my career, its been fun to look at what new opportunities are out there, and being an owner of a team gives me the opportunity stay close to the game I’ve loved and played my entire life," Parker said.
The Prague Lions were part of the ELF expansion last season, which is now made up of 17 teams.
There are some familiar faces on the Prague Lions' roster with the team recently signing former Alabama two-time national champion defensive back Daniel Wright and former Jackson State quarterback Kare Lyles.
The rest of ELF also features several former NFL players and coaches. Hall of Fame offensive lineman Joe Thomas is a coach for the Munich Ravens, Jon Gruden works as an advisor with the Milano Seamen, and former NFL edge defender Michael Sam is a coach for the Barcelona Dragons.
The third season of the European League of Football is already underway and will wrap up in September.
The Prague Lions are currently 0-2 best for third in their conference, but there's still a lot of football left to play.
