Nobody is going to sign him to their 53 but I have no doubt multiple team will try and lure him to their practice squad telling him that they present a quicker path to a 53 man roster due to less depth than Dallas has. I think it could be an easy sell if he remains 5th or 6th on the depth chart. I don't think players much like it to be drafted late by teams who don't want to compete for them after the draft and have lots of depth at their position. Witten isn't going anywhere, Hanna just signed a three year deal, Escobar has another year or two, and Swaim was just drafted last year. Not a lot of room for him anytime soon unless he blows up but I'm sure there are teams where he could have been #3 if he would have had all offseason and camp with them.

Not in the modern era but we used to do that type of thing in the Landry years constantly. Bob Hayes is one example.
Yeah, back when you had a ton of rounds. Even Bob Hayes went to college on a football scholarship.

They'd be better off letting him play, if they wanna stash him. Put out that horrible tape, and nobody will want him. He's nowhere near good yet.

I don't get all the Rico gathers love either. Don't get me wrong, it would be great if he develops but right now he's just a poor man's Escobar, who is a poor man's jimmy graham. So he's really a poor poor jimmy graham.

LOL -- sorry to hear I almost made you choke. Actually, the Florida Fluffypuppies team is a figment of my imagination -- my mind is warped.

Think nothing of it, son -- my 40-year-old brain might seem somewhat jaded now and then but with my billions, I can afford to be warped.

Wait for the package of Johnny Walker's Blue Label I'm sending via air-mail. I'll be saving a seat for you next to my son-in-law behind me.
