With practice squad receiver Mike Jefferson missing the next four weeks because of an NFL suspension for violating the league's policy on steroids and related substances, the Cowboys signed Travis Wilson to the practice squad.

Wilson, who set records at Carrollton Creekview before attending Oklahoma, was a third-round pick by Cleveland in 2006 but had only two catches for 32 yards in four career games before his release this summer. He did not play in a game last year.

He had 105 catches for 1,315 yards and 17 touchdowns in 14 games at Oklahoma.

Jefferson's suspension will cost him $20,800 in salary.

A proud day for Farmers Branch-Carrollton!

In his honor I will ask the city council to make it Travis Wilson Day to coincide with our King Cider Festival and Knife-Honing Championships.

Welcome Travis!

I was wondering who they were going to bring in....They should have brought back Lowber.

Maybe you missed Wade saying Lowber wasn't a football player in Hard Knocks.

Maybe you missed Wade saying Lowber wasn't a football player in Hard Knocks.

And Lowber's reply should have been: "And, Wade, you're no coach."

:laugh2:

Wade also said bradie james couldn't play LB at all.

Wait wait wait.

You have a King Cider festival and a King Crawdad festival?

Man, you guys know how to live. I'm pissed that you've never invited me.

Well, Wade was right about that.

Is the signing of OU's Travis Wilson a good enough excuse for me to post the "Sooner Girl" pic here? :

Looks like a decent replacement for Jefferson. I don't know what happened to Wilson in Cleveland, but he probably is worth a shot.

I do know I would not bother to bring back Jefferson if he has the steroid issues.

Now that was funny. Your posts are getting better :

I think Wilson has better upside than Jefferson anyway. I would have liked to seen them pick up Chad Jackson but apparently he has a bad rap as far as his attitude.

Ty. I was just telling some mods this morning that I was hoping to gain your approval.

Poor Wade. Nobody but his mama and his daddy love him.

Googled, and enjoyed, sir.

No crawdad festival here. Hey, if we had crawdads here we'd have to interface with the Louisiana peoples. And we don't wan none of dat.

We wants to keep FB the way it has always been: friendly people who work hard, live hard and work hard to keep chlorene out of the water system lest the commies take our precious bodily fluids.

KING CIDER RULES!!!!

Wilson ran out of chances in Cleveland after not doing anything there. He was on the Denver practice squad for a couple of weeks, and they let him go, so he's had a rough time lately.

The weird thing is that he always did have talent. If he could ever put it together, he could be a player in this league.

I need more info on this sooner girl pic thing

I agree and I think that Dallas will cut him.
