So you are guaranteeing him a roster spot?
The hype for this guy is approaching legendary status.
Wanna make a friendly wager? $1,000 that he does not make the 53.
He'll go to the practice squad and get a few NFL years under his belt to get that NFL pension.
His ONLY shot at the roster is kick returner. But he doesn't have nearly the long speed Turpin does. And lets not forget that Turpin joined us about a week after playing a full USFL season where he was the MVP. He'll be fresher, stronger and probably a little more bulked up this year, after being a pro bowl KR.
So good luck with that.
So if he is not the KR, then what? Backup RB? No way in hell he will be the primary backup to Pollard.
So number three RB. That requires playing special teams. You think Bones wants him on any coverage or return units? No.
So we just keep him as gadget guy? Roster spots are valuable. Game day spots even more so. Having Turpin and Goodwin as specialists already hurts roster flex.
So how does he make this roster? We signed Jones. Hes at least a guy that could handle the load if Pollard goes down. And its possible we bring someone else in later. I really like Davis and he plays st.
Luepke the FB is far more intriguing to me than Vaughn. And he'll have a hard time making the roster.
So, put your money where your mouth is?
