Expand Or we only have 2 solidly making the roster and letting guys fight it out is good business on the 90 man. Carrying 5 for 3 spots is pretty on ratio for what a 90 should look like 2

I also wonder if he is new at this and the fact that he had a player get picked up makes him proud. The "proud" could be pointed at his player not his own work.but Mr Vazquez doent know proper terminology... BTW, What card do I have in my hand? Expand I’m sure it’s a very difficult business in which a young guy can get a foothold. 1

Expand Not wasn’t humble by any means but if he had few to no invites and the agent worked some magic- I can see why a young guy would accidentally include himself in the brag there. Especially when trying to show his own skills to upcoming clients. Youve been around long enough to see quiet success can easily trump loud bragging - but it’s often a tough lesson 1

Kelly the Dog Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Like being a politician or a pro athlete, every agent has a huge ego. The only ones you think don’t in those professions hide it well.

IgotBILLStopay Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Maybe Beane wants to field 11 TEs on the field on offense at the same time. Enough with the TEs already!! This is in no way an attack on Moral Stephens. Just want register a protest on the “Moral”ity of signing yet another TE. Edited May 13, 2019 by IgotBILLStopay 1

They may be playing it safe by bringing in a larger number of guys hoping to hit it on a couple of them. Similar to their approach on the o-line.
