Im aware his combine was good. He was released from a team who had a spot for him and that he was expected to make. Was said to have underperformed expectations.

Agree on the comparison re scheme but doubt we are talking about comparable talent. If so obviously a big win.

Guy had a dissapointing preseason and was beaten out by (also unimpressive) UDFA. How about an OLB/DE or maybe a WR?

Gotcha. Every little upgrade helps, but there is some serious talent released at positions of greater need IMO and I'm hoping they will be aggressive in going after some of these guys.

Not a position I thought they would target. They are good in the backfield and have two hybrid TEs. Not excited by this. Why not look at WRs, OLB's, DEs.....

Strongly denied by Broncos. Core player.

Lions release Jay Lee. Probably hoping he will clear wavers and go PS. Looked great against us & generally impressed in preseason. Good size speed combo and hands. Limited route tree but to be expected coming out of Baylor. Can block. No STs tho.

Agree 100%. Didn't realize he was actually released (yet). Doug needs to dial him up.

Sitton? Seriously? Git er done. Offer the a late round pick. Better than nothin.

To a divisional rival no less. Browns clearly not losing any sleep over this guy.

He has seriously underperformed the past 2 seasons. He has the measurables, showcased a lot of talent in college , had a good rookie year and has Tom Brady throwing him the ball. Wonder what his problem is.

Yikes! Sounds like the Iggles turned down a first. Insisted on a fourth too. Now that takes some stones. Iggles nicely climbing out of the hole Chip dug for them.

I think he earned it & think he will be a pleasant surprise. I expect him to make plays.

Not big and pretty slow but looks to me every inch a football player. Better than the world class athlete Goodwin IMO.

This would interest me if I were GM. Knew he was on the bubble and was hoping he'd be cut loose. There are a number of WRs out there now who are better than what weve got after Sammy and Woods.

Not sure Bradford is much of an upgrade over the ageless Hill. Doubt that Hill would have made it through a full season but no guarantee with Bradford either. If Teddy is good to go next year Bradford won't be under centre for the Vikes and he doesn't fancy himself a backup. Given that they are otherwise ready to challenge for a championship I understand the desperation but ....sheesh. Will be interested to see how it turns out.

Cecil Shorts? Some injury history but always productive when sees the field.

Terrible. Such a good kid. Get well TB.

Motivation was a problem at UNC as well and was the issue in the pre-draft conversation. Thing is I recall he could switch it on and dominate when he felt like it. Then he would go back and disappear for stretches. Sounds like maybe the same guy today.

I don't interpret Kaep's behavior as saying that the flag (and the country) don't stand for lots of good things. No disrespect intended IMO. Just that he feels that we've got a problem here people. He's not trying to attract attention to himself, just to an issue that he feels strongly about and that he thinks is important (and who can doubt that it is). Looks like a principled young man to me who has empathy for those may be less fortunate than him. Trust me, there are worse people out there.

Agree. I like him a lot based on what I've seen. But unless the Cowboys turn into a ground and pound, in other words go forward with a pretty limited playbook, Dak's gonna turn it over. A lot. JMO.

Looks like a really good signing. Nice to see an undrafted role player last 10 plus years in the league and make it to a pro bowl. Credit to the game too. Shows how football at this level is a professional endeavour for serious people.

I sort of feel for Little in the same way that I feel for EJ. Little is what this WR corps needs, and doesn't otherwise have. He's big, physical and fast and a decent route runner. The problem is that he's just not a "natural" catcher of the football. If he were that he'd still be a Brown. You can clearly see that in his play. He has to do more to track and focus in on the ball than good WRs do, maybe not a whole lot more but at this level of competition it makes for a significant difference in the results. His hands are not NFL reliable. EJ has all the physical tools you could want but he is just not a "natural" thrower of the football. A natural thrower either doesn't make the kinds of mistakes EJ does and which we sometimes describe as mechanical (I think they may be physiological at root) or overcomes them with coaching and training. EJ can and has improved but through no fault of his own he has a relatively low ceiling. Really its a shame but both Little and EJ would be well served by having less of what they bring to the table, which is a lot, and more of what they do not. Unfortunately you don't get to manage these things as you would like. I feel for both players. Close but definitely no cigar. Little might make the cut and may actually be a contributor, but you can't count on it or him. Compare him with a guy like Powell. Different player types I realize, but Powell is definitely a natch. He just needs to refine his game so that he can continue to execute against starting calibre DBs and learn the friggen playbook. How do you target a DB for punishment? If so inclined, and IMO Hall is, they get to ruin a WR's or even TE's career. If Hall sees Jason Peters or Earl Cambell coming at him at the second level I have no doubt he is a lot less aggressive, and maybe just gets out of the way. He is no Steve Atwater.

Size, speed and physicality (blocking). Brings something this WR corps doesnt otherwise have. Hands dont seem so bad to me so far. I'd like to see him stick.

If he was not another concussion waiting to happen and was dedicated to his profession I'd be really upset. Of course, if that were the case he would have been a second round pick instead of a fifth. As it is I won't be losing any sleep. JWill is gonna be a better all round back.
