I actually remember this guy from Texas. IMO he was a good player. Not sure why he never got any reps with the Steelers. Like you said he's worth taking a flier on. Maybe the lightwill go onforhim
I don't know squat about this guy, never heard of him...... but, know he's better than Kyle Wilson.

what are the chances that we can get rex to lure wilson to buffalo..........:dancing-poop:
I tag on Wilson more than anyone but for his role as a third CB he isn't too shabby. If he gets paid like one, I am okay with him staying. Not sure if there's room though Bc now for third CB he will be competing with Milliner and McDougle.

Think your going to be heart broken Renegade. Think there is a fair chance Wilson is back with the Jets next year.
Welcome to NYJF!
Despite Decker's best efforts I don't think we have a chance with Thomas. That would be a hell of a combo for us.

Whether or not Peyton Manning returns for an 18th NFL season, the Denver Broncos have no intention of losing Demaryius Thomas to free agency.
Appearing on Tuesday's edition of NFL Total Access, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported the Broncos are set to wield the franchise tag, if necessary, to keep their ultra-talented No. 1 receiver.
There have been no talks between the team and Thomas' camp for some time, per Rapoport.
Applying the franchise tag to Thomas would cost roughly $13 million. It would also limit the organization's options with Julius Thomas, another impending free agent.
The Broncos did make some progress on a deal with Julius Thomas early in last summer's training camp, but there have been no negotiations since that time, according to Rapoport.
While both young Pro Bowlers are solid investments, the sense is that an aging Wes Welker will not return to Denver. The slot receiver turns 34 in May, lost his playmaking ability in 2014 and is reportedly contemplating retirement.
If general manager John Elway manages to keep the Thomas duo in Denver, the most likely scenario is via a long-term deal for Julius and the tag for Demaryius.
Under that scenario, Emmanuel Sanders can move to the slot with 2014 second-round draft pick Cody Latimer entering the lineup on the outside.
That proposed lineup would solidify Manning's offense as one of the NFL's most prolific provided the savvy veteran's body cooperates for a 16-game season.

Jason Worilds - LB - Steelers
Steelers GM Kevin Colbert hasn't ruled out using the transition tag on free agent OLB Jason Worilds for the second-consecutive year.
Playing under the tag in 2014, Worilds made $9.754 million. It would cost closer to $11 million in 2014. Speaking Tuesday, Colbert all but ruled out using the franchise tag on his edge rusher. The franchise tag is more costly, and Pittsburgh has one of the league's worst cap situations. The transition tag gives teams the right of first refusal, but no compensation if a tagged player signs an offer sheet elsewhere and the tagging team decides not to match.

What if the Chiefs tagged Houston with a 1st round tender.
If the Jets were to sign him to an offer they'd have to give up the #6 over all pick. Would that be something worth exploring. Would you want to give up the 6th pick for a probowl pass rusher like Houston?
I'm not sure that going into FA that he can even be tagged with a 1st round designation, just something to chew on.

Welcome to our new home. I don't think many of us know much about him either

good to read you again
never heard of him, but he does play at a position we are desperate for so well done Macc on the signing. Can't imagine he'll be getting big money so a no-brainer / camp fodder signing that may turn out well for us

This is very interesting. The transition tag isn't used that much. It's usually used when a team is looking to move a player.
Don't think it would cost the 6th pick in the draft to get him.
Won't be cheap though

Your right.
He was a pretty good NCAA CB. For one reason or another he never started a game in the NFL. He was a good ST'er (don't really know that, but read it)
He was out of football last year. He is signing for whatever the min is, with no guarantees. Has some upside.
Probably won't be on the 53 in September, but it's a no lose situation
