Another safety hits the market

[DiResta]

is it a possibility that since he was at least 'ok' in college
that maybe the Raiders did a **** job coaching him?
maybe he didn't fit the scheme they were trying him at?

idk I'm just curious
maybe he's a turd
or maybe he's more of a David Irving

There were people loving this guy in the draft 2 years ago. I said he was 100% a workout warrior. a big NO THANKS!

 

[aikemirv]

Not my money -and not that much either. What is the risk of taking a chance here? If not healthly, put him on IR and we get next offseason to check him out.

 

[CWR]

Anyone know where we stand on the waiver wire?

We seem to be always towards the bottom lol

 

[Hennessy_King]

Another Combine warrior from Uconn. We already have one. Pass

Sad but true (cue Metallica), although there’d be no shortage of hand wringers, no matter who we signed, ET included.

They sign Thomas, and people would celebrate, screaming championship. Of course that activates the “Overspend for a Declining Star Crowd”.

There’s no win here. Besides, Fredbeard’s Out, Martin’s out, Dak sucks, we have no WRs, Tyron has a bad back, Gregory’s a pothead waiting to happen, and it’s only a matter of time before our glass LBer(s) patrol the sidelines with a clipboard. We’re doomed. The Fat Lady’s warming up, but we’ve got alternatives: AGT’s live shows and Deadpool 2 on DVD! Yes!

So basically the worst case scenario for everything lol.

Stand up guy!

You talkin about the player or the poster? Just kidding. Sadistic Friday humor at play this morning.

 

[CowboyRoy]

This one may be more Dallas's speed

LOL...….sounds like Garretts RKG to me. Too funny.

Man, I got no problem admitting that I was intrigued with him during the draft. I thought he had a lot of potential. Forgot about him until now. If the FO wants to give him a shot I don't see reason to be against it, but I wouldn't rely on him.

Nice avatar........are you by chance related to BrAinPaiNt?

 

[McKDaddy]

High SPARQ score?! He really does have everything.

If only he played for Boise State...

funny ..... & sad ..... & true.

 

[SportsGuru80]

If he doesn't love the game, no thanks!

"Melifonwu has missed most of training camp due to a hip injury. He just hasn’t been able to stay healthy during his time in the NFL. If he clears waivers, Melifonwu will be placed on the team’s injured reserve list."

Seems to be trending lately, or maybe Im just paying closer attention.
Sua Cravens, drafted by the Skins in the 2nd round a couple yrs ago, never got on the field, always an injury. Now with Denver after they traded for him this offseason, and pulling the same stunt. Been injured all camp.
Is there a new wave of highly drafted young talent entering this league that could care less about ever playing, they just want the quick cash?
Just seems that I have been noticing this a lot lately.

 

[Nightman]

WOW

6 pages trying to decide whether to pay a guy 700k to NOT play because he is injured and wasn't any good when healthy

CZ never ceases to amaze

 

[the_h0wey]

Injured - check
Fomer top pick - check
Questionable ethic - check
Fomer Raider - check

This post is so incredibly spot on. Well done sir

If he is passionate, beats his girlfriend and flips gracefully over a bike's handlebars, he's in with me.
