That was low. I was thinking we signed FAs from another team. Like Rolle and McKenzie or something.


SPeaking of, why is it that we were able to sign Bledsoe before FA officially began?

Once a veteran player (one not subject to waiver claims) has been released, he's immediately free to sign with any team.

The free-agency period applies only to players whose contracts expired.

After four credited seasons, players are no longer subject to waiver claims (except after the trading deadline during the season).

Frazier is a nice signing he can add depth at CB position

I think Frazier could be very good in a nickle CB role. I'm glad we resigned the guy.

Yes, Frazier is fine...In a nickle/dime/slot role...Hopefully the new DB coach can actual develop players and teach them to play the ball...Something zimmy has ALWAYS failed to do...

Noll has decent size, perhaps the Oline coach can develop some players there as well...

i can see frazier in the nickle - he plays the ball well, or at least better than the other guys we've been tossing out there. this is a good signing and he has SOME experience anyway. noll i don't know nuttin about.
