He continued his stellar preseason work by having a tremendous showing at the OTAs and training camp. Chicago QB Jay Cutler said Jeffery had the best camp of anyone on offense." He didn't put up crazy stats. But he very quickly took Hester's Reciever spot. And showed flashes when he wasn't commiting hillarious amounts of OPI. You knew he was going to be pretty good. Also Mike Tice was calling that offense and he is incompetent.

And then he'd get flagged for pushing off like four times in a row.

He's apparently on the outs in Oakland, I bet he wouldn't go for more than like a 6th, and he's still on his rookie deal so he'd be cheap. They need somebody who can stretch the field, and Moore at least has gobs of potential.

I think right now they need someone who is a solid possession receiver. Nobody except the clinically insane are expecting Benjamin to jump right into the fold and be a stud, and Newton needs a chain mover at least

He resigned with the 49ers. Just quickly checking, the WRs currently still unsigned isn't exactly a great list, unless the prospects of Michael Jenkins, Brandon Stokley, or Kevin Ogletree excite you going into 2014.

It'll be interesting to see how they replace a talent like Gross on the oline and the fact that they lost like 75% of their secondary in the offseason.

The panthers secondary last year were all street free agents. They were replaced with a couple others. At this time last year no one was expecting mike Mitchell to do anything.

Obviously they got an unexpectedly decent season out of Ted Ginn, but who else has Proehl really 'developed'? He's a standout on the practice field, in the film room, and in coaches meetings. He works with the DBs to teach them better technique. Kelvin benjamin will be his big test. It's not like he's had a lot of guys with any potential come through.

I bet they add no one between now and the regular season, thinking they've got what they need between Greg Olsen and Benjamin. And it's going to be loving hilarious no matter if they fail or succeed on that strategy.

The Bengals have a couple UDFAs who will compete for fullback. There's a guy who was a DT in college but will be played at fullback in camp. There's another FB from Stanford who will be the other challenger for the spot. Them against Orson Charles will probably be one of the most interesting competitions this year for the Bengals. They both fit the traditional fullback role a lot more than Orson.

Then they signed Jared Allen. Browns probably cut him probably because he's older and has a long, long history of concussions.

Earl Bennett is a Football Everyman. He does most things a WR needs to do well, but nothing really extraordinary. He'll be valuable to some team, but if he can only be counted on to start 6 games then there isn't much reason to have him on a roster until mid-season.
