Tipster19 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 IIRC it happened soon after the draft ends. I think you're right. Btw, I don't want to start a whole thread about it but does anyone know when the trade deadline is?
Steely Dan Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Here's an article from last Thursday that explains the UDFA signings really well. This should answer your questions and it answered mine too. It even has a quote from Tom Modrak and from our old buddy Donahoe!! "It's really quick," explained Tom Donahoe, former Steelers personnel boss and Buffalo Bills president. "Usually what teams do, about halfway through the seventh round they'll start calling players they were interested in and say something to the effect, 'We're thinking about taking you with our seventh-round pick but if don't we'd like to sign you as a free agent.' "What you stress to kids is there's limited space available, and if you get someone interested in you, you need to close the deal quickly. Usually with the numbers, once teams fill numbers at a position, they move on."
Steely Dan Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks Steely.. All I ask is $50,000 and that you name your first born after me.
