I'm a big Nate Harris homer. Glad to see him aboard.

We certainly like to keep plenty of LB's around.

After seeing this i took a look at the roster & noticed a new name, a 6'3 210lb LB??? Timi Wusu??? I would like to know what the possible interest is there. Maybe a safety conversion project???

I figured we'd sign Ekwerekwu for sure. Hm.

I believe he was a S/LB at Stanford and then spent time as a LB in Oakland and Carolina last year. The Chiefs signed him at the same time they signed Jacobs and a handful of others right after the season.

Camp fodder

Already signed. These 4 were tryouts at minicamp.

**Buehler445** · 05-16-2007, 11:59 AM

Is this the last real opportunity to sign some of these guys? From my understanding this would be the only camp they would be invited to. Is that correct?

If he has decent speed, he might make a nice gunner for special teams.

Tony Franklin would be a nice selection. We're very thin at that position and Franklin's got loads of experience and put up good numbers at a big school. I approve.
