damn i was hopeing matt trannon was one of our signings...does anyone know where he went if he went anywhere at all?
by may 10 (first day of mini camp) we should have a list of all the free agents we signed and who is there on try outs On how many rookie free agents he expects the team to sign … Tannenbaum: Our goal is to fill out the roster, so it will be approximately 15 or so, give or take a few. And then we will have some other undrafted free agent tryout players. Last year a couple of those players actually made our team, so we believe in opportunity here. We will be contacting a number of those players as well. On Bender … koweliski and wright were at mini camps on try outs so the jets will always give a rookie a chance
Sure, so teams can get their payrolls down to the cap. What percentage are difference makers? CASE CLOSED.
Kurt Warner Priest Holmes Rod Smith Wayne Chrebet Jake Delhomme Willie Parker All undrafted free-agents. You can't plan on getting a star from the undrafted free agency pool, but it happens.
