Does Bobo have much say in it? I mean if there was no one else interested can we really blame him?
I hear it.

But Plantation Pete?! He will face same outcome as Tanner McEvoy and Cody Thompson..

Wow it's ureal that Brad Roberts still hasn't signed with anyone. Hope that changes tonight or tommorow. The kid had
an epic season and for him to now get a shot would be criminal.

It’s a joke. Green Bay drafts a similar size and speed RB that had 300yds last season!

Stanford CB Ethan Bonner is signing with the Dolphins.

I saw that Brad Roberts will be attending the Commanders minicamp next week… no deal for Roberts.

Maybe so maybe not. McCarthy did have an affinity with fullbacks in Green Bay - John Kuhn was a very good player there during that great blip in the caste system - 2010/2011. They have no fullback on the roster currently, Leupke is versatile enough to be a weapon in the passing game, Elliot is gone and the only established RB on the roster is Pollard. It's certainly not ideal in terms of demographics and having an overrated black QB but he certainly has a chance at making the roster as long as he is healed up from the injuries that hampered his pre-draft process.
I’ve got zero faith in the Cowboys. They had Ryan Nall and cut him without him even playing a down.

For them to not even offer him a deal shows they are just gonna waste his time. So disgusting! No Respect!

Jack Colletto linebacker/special teams/wildcat qb/ born winner to the 49ers. They could be a team to cheer once more with Purdy, McCaffrey, Kittle, Bosa and Juszczyk.

They have the aforementioned above but not much depth behind them of our guys in caste positions. Injuries could be a part.

I do think Colletto might stick and be impactful on games.

Nall was put on IR and then released due to a shoulder injury. Not trying to defend the Cowboys and I know Leupke has an uphill battle but at least he seems to have picked a team that has a coach with a history of using fullbacks creatively and the backfield depth chart isn't particularly deep. They did give him a 20k signing bonus and $18000 guaranteed base salary.

Is Jaxon Kirkland actually white or is he some sort of mix? Even as a UW fan I’ve never been able to tell.

The Panthers signed Bumper Pool.

I thought Roberts couldn't get an exemption, but he did. However, he could not be picked until the last of the draft and he still wasn't drafted or signed yet.

Wanna bet that the only reason Roberts is even getting a look from Washington is Ron Rivera’s military family background. He probably has a soft spot for the service academies. If Roberts doesn’t get a full camp invite and shot, then I doubt any other team picks him up.

You forgot about Ripkowski who had decent touches for a season in GB until he was kicked to the curb. He was probably the last fullback that got touches as a true running back.

Ripkowski had that crucial fumble in the playoffs and was cut the following year. It’s to bad, he could’ve been a hell of a powerback! I don’t think McCarthy has used a true Fullback at Green Bay or Dallas since Rip. Hopefully Luepke will be utilized like Kuhn or rip but I doubt it.

Fordham QB Tim Demorat gets a contract with with Redskins. He was only offered minicamp tryouts prior. Based on his ability and production he should have been give a combine and senior bowl invite. Rooting for him.
Good news. The Jets I guess blew their opportunity to give the local guy a chance. What aholes. Being from the NYC area, I know quite a few Fordham grads so it’s nice when the produce a White athlete who’s pro caliber.

As an aside, whenever I read his last name I think of Demon-rat. You know, the nickname normie-con boomers call the Democrats. Gives me a chuckle.

So going by Leonardfan's list, the Patriots couldn't be bothered to sign a single lunchpail carrying overachiever. . .

So far only three udfas were signed - a quota, a black te with minimal production and a black lb. Not sure if they will sign anymore or if the roster is full.

Can we change the spelling of rhe Genius team and start the name with the letter G?

I don’t get it, has BB gone senile? He has to looks at the makeup of this roster vs the rosters he was winning sb’s with and notice the difference. It defies all logic

Torchio has tryouts with NYJ and Tennessee. We’ll see how that goes.

I remember the running back from Germany recently that played for the Giants briefly. He did good when he played but they showed
no interest as always. The Giants are not white friendly to say the least. Will still root for all of these young men.
