QB TC Ostrander signed with Saints
QB Anthony Morelli signed with Cards
 
great fit. Jets only have 3 RBs on their team, according to the official website: Chatman, Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, plus they didn't pick any in the draft!
 
I was kind of hoping they'd use him as a runner but either way I'm very happy for Danny. NFL.com listed RB as one of the Jets offseason "needs" and so far Danny is the only RB they've acquired so that's good news.

edit* Ha! good call BackrowEdited by: jared
 
Well leave it to the Colts... They signed Samuel Giguere of Sherbrooke. Think he can stick on the roster? He's pretty raw.

I think they'll use him on punt/kick returns and in the slot. Now I have a reason to watch this year.
I love this signing.

Looking at the Colts roster, they're pretty deep at WR. I think Sam's probably gonna end up on their PS but I hope he proves me wrong.
 
hey, great looking out Jar. you're the man! an hell yeah. he can make it. they drafted one WR late, small school project but i'm sure they will love a prospect of a potential such as Giguere. he will probably end up on practice squad in his first season anyway.

I was thinking Nick Hartigan the second I saw this... but I think this was the last regime no? Herm Edwards? I sure hope so....

Hartigan, Sean Bennett, Chad Brinker and Josh Davis all were with the Jets in recent years. All were summarily dispatched without ever getting a chance to run the ball.

He could end up switching position too

If he has the killer instinct, he would be a MONSTER on special teams too. I wouldn't want that guy gunning for me.
 
Amandola signed with the cowboys

thats a pretty good spot for him to land, I guess he can earn a roster spot by beating immortals such as sam hurd, austin miles, mike jefferson and isahiah stanback. he's got a good shot at it.Edited by: Gi-15
 
Good for Kyle Wright shouldnt be too hard to beat out tavaris haha. Any news on Luke Swan?
 
i am extremely curious about where Silva, Blythe, Swan and Beaver will end up. also, was Bryan Johnston drafted?

the guess here is he'll get signed by the packers, I hope they also get Justin Beaver

Funny how both white WRs drafted went to the same team the Packers that is already deep there. I smell a conspiracy to keep the white WR talent off the field here...conspiracy, conspiracy...It's almost as obvious as the JFK conspiracy theories!

The Packers already got Jordy and Brett Swain. I would rather have other white wrs go to different places to have a chance instead of competing with each other for roster spots.
