That one is a head scratcher for me. Why we didn't go after him could be telling I suppose.

IIRC Burnett did not leave under the best of terms. He was not happy we didn't pay him. I could be wrong but I seem to remember some parting shots from him when he landed in SD.

I was glad at first when they signed him, and having Clutts on the team too. I thought they were more serious about keeping a FB for sure. But after Copeland wasn't making any noise, even in OTA's, I began to wonder what was goimng on. I'm all for him comimng onto the PS though.

The FB I wanted Dalls to draft in the 7th, was picked, Mallard. Can't remember by what team. But by not picking him, maybe they aren't all that serious about a FB. But I have know idea how Mallard is doing, or if he was worthy of a 7th round pick. But I'm glad the got the defensive players better.

The 49ers selected him...I bet he ends up getting cut or put on the IR(since he hurt his knee last year). 49ers are loaded @ FB....and why they selected him in the first place is beyond me they just resigned their FB Miller to a sizable deal. But I really like the player and if he got cut loose would love to see him here.

KC released a DT named Jermelle Cudjo?

I'd sign him just to see what kind of canine nickname Marinelli can come up with.

He was w/ the Rams last year.....tough little NT I can see us taking a look @. Another guy I think we could have some interest in is Nate Collins DT from Chicago.

Got cut yesterday........

Jacksonville Jaguars[edit]
Collins was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 13, 2010. He played in one game in 2010 and 12 games during the 2011 season. He scored a touchdown in 2011 on a fumble recovery against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In February 2012, a Virginia state trooper arrested Collins and charged him with the possession of a small amount of marijuana. Less than a month later, the Jaguars rescinded the exclusive rights free agent tender placed on Collins, making him an unrestricted free agent, free to sign with any team.[1]

Chicago Bears[edit]
Collins was signed by the Chicago Bears on May 23, 2012.[2] On July 20, 2012, Collins was suspended for 1 game after violating the league's substance policy.[3] In 2013, Collins was set to become a restricted free agent,[4] though he was signed to a one-year deal on March 14.[5] In week four against the New Orleans Saints, Collins tore his ACL, and will miss the remainder of the season.[6] Collins was placed on injured reserve on October 9.[7] Two days before the start of the 2014 free agency period, Collins resigned with the Bears on a one year deal.[8] The Bears released Collins on August 23, 2014.[9]

Well after reading that he got busted for pot....I bet you can forget this signing. If the Cowboys weren't willing to draft LB Telvin Smith(FSU)......then I think the precedent has been set.

We also brought in Mincey and McClain, and then drafted Gardener and Bishop. On top of landing Coleman in CFA. It wasn't criminal. Alexander just wants some attention.

Eh, yes and no. Melton was a great signing all around. Mincey would be decent depth if they weren't relying on him to start, but the other guys (yes, even the oft-scouted Terrell McClain) are guys that winning teams bring in and don't necessarily expect them to make the roster. McClain COULD be a diamond in the rough, but the idea of taking the third-string nose tackle from the worst team in the league last year and magically turning him into a monster 1-tech isn't something you take to Vegas.

The truth of the matter is that this team was hamstrung by the salary cap and spent the offseason bargain shopping and dumpster diving. Whether that's a good thing or not depends on how you view the team. They're making smart moves for a rebuilding team, but poor moves for a team that expects its $108-million QB to contend in his last few years.

Yeah, I agree with this. We did what we could, given the bad position we were in. It's not that we neglected the problem. More that we were powerless to do enough to actually fix it properly.

Jets shopping Kendrick Ellis for late picks. With our penchant for abysmal late round picks, we might as well have a look.

Could not be worse than Hayden or Bishop.

Yep, this is what our DL has come to. We're building Frankenstein with parts found in the garbage.

What is wrong with Frankenstein if he is a tackling/sack machine? Let's start mass producing them.... we have some catching up to do!!! LOL
