6'4" 220 with 4.45 speed will get you a lot of chances in the NFL, but he's got to do something beyond that

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Fwiw kinda sounds like another Randall Williams

It's the Laurent Robinson-effect. They weren't able to re-negotiate with him because of some rule in the CBA. So now, they're giving 2-yr deals to alot of these street free agents that have the most promise. Like Selvie, for example.

Camp body...expect more

He wore an awesome college number.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Look's like he has the size Dallas seems to look for.

They've been wisely giving these guys 2 years deals. That way if they turn out good, they have them under contract. If not, the 2nd year is not guaranteed.

They should have signed Laurent Robinson to a 2-year deal back when they signed him off the street as a minimum wage guy.

 

[noshame]

Gloves maybe?

 

[Fredd]

yes, the 2-year deal is best IMO in these circumstances....guys like this increase the depth, and get the FO closer to BPA in the draft...that is not to say that this guy means that we don't draft a WR, just that if they believe in him enough to give him a 2-year deal, then perhaps they will wait until next year to get another WR....

Height: 6036
Weight: 220
40 Yrd Dash: 4.45
20 Yrd Dash: 2.62
10 Yrd Dash: 1.53
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 15
Vertical Jump: 35
Broad Jump: 10'05"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.10
3-Cone Drill: 7.07

They will be signing a lot of players soon. They have to put together a 90 man roster for training camp. They currently have 60 under contract. With 11 draft picks plus UDFAs they will probably add about 20 players there. That leaves about 10 spots for free agents.
