Would it be kinder for the Lions to sign Barry Sanders Jr., or to not sign him?

It's gonna be pretty tough for either to make the roster, easier at TE, but you'd still have to beat out a guy they traded.

At WR: Cooks, Edelman, Hogan are mortal locks. Malcolm Mitchell (30 receptions last year as a rookie), Amendola (25 but a cagey veteran) and Matt Slater (1st team all pro ST guy last year) are all going to be pretty difficult to dislodge.

At TE: Gronk of course. Then there's two guys they traded draft picks for this offseason,
Dwayne Allen and they also traded a 5th round pick for Chiefs TE James O'Shaughnessy (0 receiver, I guess he's a good blocker?). There's also two other camp bodies in Matt Lengel and the incredibly fat Michael Williams, but if you can't beat them out, you don't have a prayer.

Not sign him, he should go to a team with more recent playoffs success, like the Browns.

Or...would it?

Keep one, and you get two roster spots for the price of one :getin:

Start one, and if he gets hurt or too winded, bring him back to the dressing room and then...
he comes right back out good as new, if you know what I mean...

Eagles signed a few but the only one I'm interested in is Corey Clement. Did anyone here watch Wisconsin last season? He was their bellcow and the backup to Melvin Gordon before that. He's a local kid so if he ends up making it this town will never shut the gently caress up about him. He seems like a pretty big guy too so I figure there's something very wrong and I don't see it.

Jets signed Connor Harris, a NAIA linebacker from Lindenwood that apparently has the all-time NCAA record for career tackles. Probably a real lunchpail type, if you know what I mean.

I don't know anything else.

Been watching Clement for years, he initially looked like he was going to be great, but after his Sophomore year he regressed. Really difficult to describe, just looked average in everything, doing barely enough to keep the starting job.

I hope he can turn it around, but if the amazing backs from Wisconsin just do Ok or worse in the nfl, I don't have much hope for the average ones.

I'm biased but he's a pretty good pick-up for a UDFA. He definitely has a non-ideal build and is also a little old but he easily could have been selected in one of the later rounds of the draft because he could be a decent backup.

Pretty typical and sad story.

quote:

Ball was trashing his body and mind at the same time he was ignoring the NFL's outreach. He would usually drink to excess on four nights (Sunday, Monday, Thursday and Friday) during a normal in-season week featuring a Sunday game.

Ball said Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville suspected something was wrong when he asked Ball to stay following one running backs meeting.

"He talked about how he could smell the alcohol on me and that he thinks I may have a problem with drinking," Ball said. "He said if I needed any help with that he could reach out to people I could talk to.

"I didn't listen to him."
