    I like this idea a lot. I'd imagine this will create even more signings of guys off of practice squads as teams get more of a look at borderline players before the season.

    And older players who still have something to offer. Way cheaper than making your way to several cities for try-outs.

    I like the idea very much. It's a good way to find roster fillers who still might be able to contribute something. The timing of it with the owners meeting is pretty smart, too.

    I expect Terrell Owens and Ocho to be there just because. I know they are PISSED this wasn't around when they were basically begging for a team to pick them up... they were sending ESPN little fuzzy ass videos of themselves in backyards working out and running routes lmao.

    And if these players don't get picked up by a team... hey, free T-shirt!

    T-who?

    Some team will find a great player that's been cleaning men's rooms, that'll be the story of next season.

    This is a fantastic idea. It sucks it was Matt Birks idea though. I've never liked him. I don't expect much to come from this, but I'm sure it will change a couple lives per year.
