Good lord, the jags are signing guys like it's going out of style.

HolmeZz · 04-26-2009, 09:43 PM

The local news here said a linebacker from Yale signed with us as an UDFA.

I know! 18 ****ing free agent signings. Crazy!

'Hamas' Jenkins · 04-26-2009, 09:46 PM

That list is physically painful to look at.

**Reaper16** · 04-26-2009, 09:47 PM

You may have noticed if you've been paying as meticulous attention to the UDFAs as I have that Graham Harell was said to have signed with Carolina but was later taken off the signing list. Now, it is said that he is going to try out for, and may sign with, Dallas.

In that there are plenty of players signed with other teams that could help the Chiefs out?

Yes.

ArrowheadMagic · 04-26-2009, 10:03 PM

Denver's UDFA list might be better than their draft.

Panthers got a couple guys I liked in Keith Gray (C) and Gerald Cadogan.

How about Chris Baker (DT), Dannell Ellerbe and Brett Helms (C)? Any word on those three yet?

ArrowheadMagic · 04-26-2009, 10:34 PM

No Ellerbe yet, wonder how many teams are in negotiations. Harrell better start updating his resume, insurance companies are hiring.

**Reaper16** · 04-26-2009, 10:36 PM

AWESOME:

Colts signed Tom Pestock, OG, Northwest Missouri State University.

Go Bearcats.
