The former star for the Tennessee Titans and University of Texas, released in August by the Buffalo Bills, wrote on Twitter: "Yes, I need a job, who doesn't. Yes, I want to be out there playing the game I love and earning a paycheck, who wouldn't?"
Young's tweet said he's working to rectify "unfortunate" losses stemming from "betrayal by those I trusted most."
Young is suing his former agent and a financial planner claiming they misappropriated $5.5 million.
The post came after an Associated Press story detailed Young's legal entanglements and quoted his attorney as saying of the quarterback's financial status: "I would just say that Vince needs a job."
Young has declined interview requests.
