Wow, the best guy available hasn't played in 3 years?

I guess the tackle we have on the practice squad really sucks.

It actually was a serious comment on my part. I find it hard to believe that there isn't some Div I graduate who never got a tryout -- or some practice squad player somewhere -- who couldn't be better than a guy out of football for three years. If he really is the best option out there, that says a lot about the state of OLmen in the NFL these days.

Just because we signed him doesn't mean that he was the "best" option out there. We all know that Ted Thompson goes about business in a way that nobody but himself (maybe his staff) understands. But I support it 100% because he is a genius.

It is one thing to pick up a player that hasn't played in the NFL in so long. But it sure makes you wonder when he has not been good enough to play such juggernaut offensive lines as KC, Denver and the Giants .

The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Taylor played in 18 games (including one start) for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007-08. He then was briefly on the Denver Broncos’ roster late in the 2009 season. He didn’t make a team either of the last two seasons after being in training camp with the New York Giants in 2010 and the Broncos again this past summer.

Any word if he attended any workouts? I'll let the coaching staff determine talent and I'm all for flying in everyone and his brother for workouts, but kind of odd that we'd just up and sign someone like this. As NSD pointed out, I'm a bit surprised there's nobody better stashed away on a practice squad somewhere. Unless this guy kept himself in playing shape the last 3 years, I'm a bit afraid a bullrush will blast this guy back about 10 feet.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
