He was injured and released before the 2003 season.
The Denver Broncos signed Epstein in February 2004 and assigned him to the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europe. He was released in September 2004.
The Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League signed Epstein during the 2005 CFL season pre-season and released him during training camp but recalled him in August when kicker Sean Fleming was good on only 11 of 19 field goal attempts. He appeared in four games for Edmonton, made 8 of 12 field goal attempts and punted 16 times for an average of 41 yards (37 m) but that record and especially a blocked kick on September 18, his final game for the Eskimos, resulted in his release on September 29.

On February 6, 2008, Hayden Epstein signed back on with the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL but was released again on April 28.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or career:
“The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
