Attorneys for Vince Young said on Friday that the former NFL quarterback has settled his legal dispute with a New York lender and asked a federal judge to dismiss Young’s voluntary chapter 11 petition filed two weeks ago, the Houston Chronicle reported on Saturday. According to the six-page motion filed with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David R. Jones, Young filed for bankruptcy protection Jan. 17 primarily to forestall debt collection efforts by Pro Player Funding, a New York lender that had a judgment with interest totaling about $2.5 million against Young stemming from a loan taken in his name during the 2011 NFL lockout. Young has reached a resolution with Pro Player Funding, according to the motion, and therefore is asking for the chapter 11 case to be dismissed.
