That's exactly it. It's the time of year that this happens. Most of these guys at this time end up being fodder which is why I think this is a no big deal kinda thing.

I don't think this guy is even getting paid until team practices start. If he (or anyone else we sign to lesser deal) doesn't work out, then he's gone, at little or no expense.

There's no reason to pan this move and there's no reason to get excited about it, either. It is what a front office does this time of year. It certainly is not a bad thing.

I didn't even take offense at the comment. It was more upsetting for me that my humor went unnoticed and thus was taken seriously.

As others have said this is par for the course at this time of the year. Teams pick up these types of guys to see if maybe one will be a hidden jewel. Throwing stuff at the wall to see if something will stick. If so good for us. If not he gets a pay check for a few weeks and no loss.

Maybe you and Ddub need to knock it off. We picked up a TE....WTF are you expecting at this point? I agree, he probably isn't going to be much, but I don't see the point in moaning like a couple of sissy's.




Some people just feel that any move this team makes is a bad one. Its pathetic if you ask me. Why bother following a team if you hate everything about them..


You know what's pathetic? Defending this team and crying about those that don't on a message board.

Man, how bad is it if you get claimed, show up for one off-season camp, and then are told to beat it? crazy
