^While meeting in 1983 with the Buffalo Bills to negotiate his
contract, a Bills secretary mistakenly let Bruce Allen, GM of
the rival U.S. Football League’s Chicago Blitz, reach Kelly on
the telephone; Allen persuaded Kelly to leave the meeting.
Kelly later claimed that the USFL offered him his choice of
teams because of the league’s interest in signing QBs. He
signed with the Houston Gamblers, who played in the climate-
controlled Houston Astrodome. When the Gamblers folded,
Kelly went to the New Jersey Generals and was slated as their
starting quarterback. He even appeared on a cover of Sports
Illustrated while holding a Generals’ helmet, but the USFL
collapsed before he ever fielded a snap with the Generals.
