without a drought Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) Andy Isabella of the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL is signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad. I can see how this needs it's own thread here. Edited October 26 by without a drought 2 Quote
nedboy7 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Good. Make room for someone who can actually be used. Quote

Utah John Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Wasn't Isabella on the Bills' PS? If so, then how could Pittsburgh sign him to their PS? My understanding is that a team can poach players off another team's PS but must add the player to their 53 man roster. If Isabella was a FA then this move would be OK. Can someone please explain? Anyway, I'm happy for Isabella. Seems like a good guy, very fast, not quite good enough to be a regular NFL WR. About Columbus et all -- This is really important because when he got to North America there were no people living there at all. Completely empty. Just a land without people for people who wanted more land. Similar to current events, no? But just as with 20th century developments, of course what I wrote is not true. There were hundreds of thousands (or millions?) of people of Asiatic descent living in North America when Columbus (or Erickson) arrived, just like there were millions of people of Asiatic descent living in every other corner of Asia, including along the eastern Mediterranean.

machine gun kelly Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Well it makes sense as Pitt. Has been starving WR talent. They were never going to broker a trade with the Browns for Cooper in division, amd they wiffed on Ayuik, and probably didn’t have the cash for Adam’s, at least his debt. I actually hope Isabella finds a home and maybe with playing time gets some snaps on the field. Edited October 26 by machine gun kelly Quote
