It'd be nice if it worked out and all but I don't think anyone has super high expectations and if they do then lol

Not sure if this is really free agency news (or news at all), but:

Daryl Richardson claimed by the Jets (Rams waived)
Matt Scott claimed by the Bengals (Jaguars waived)

I made a thread for roster transations/projections, in case people haven't seen it.

After working out for the Ravens, Jerry Rice Jr. is heading to SF for a tryout w/ the 49ers.

They have to sign him, right?

They're not going to, just like they didn't sign the lovely Montana son.

(The 'good' Montana son isn't actually very good either but he could at least potentially make an NFL roster)

How bizarre that the superior football bloodline resulted in two QBs who look like inbred hicks.

Bad, very bad!
As many as Antonio Gates, so he was obviously destined to be pretty awesome.

e: poo poo I've been cheated, Graham had a ton more yards than Gates did in college.

Casey Matthews traded in his football genes for some facial features that made him look like something other than a horrible caveman-Frankenstein monster.

I'm dreaming of him somehow making it to the pros as a running back and carrying on Lynch's power running legacy for the Seahawks. It's a pipe dream, but I still want to see an NFL secondary trying to tackle a dude who is that big.

They would just Gronkowski his knees. That's the reason we don't see more giant running backs.

A perfectly fine "let's take a flyer on a former first-round pick" deal. Probably not gonna work out but then again he can't be worse than the team's current D-line depth
