Looks like no free agency signing news on Brandon Coleman, Colt Lyerla, Marcus Roberson and Victor Hampton yet.

 

Walter Football has Coleman signing with the Saints.

 

Good signing for them. I didn't find him when I searched his name because they misspelled Brandon.

Shayne Skov decommitted from Oakland and signed with San Francisco. Might be the escorts or the allure of playing for his former coach.

He never committed to Oakland, it was bad info. Who wouldn't pick San Fran over Oakland if given the choice? I'm glad he'll have a shot, although I wish the Bears had given him a chance... but I'm a Stanford guy, I wish the Bears had picked up Tyler Gaffney.

Looks like a OL. Started his career at TE but bulked up and moved to OT.

I've seen various names attached and supposedly signed. Biggs mentioned he thought we only had room for 9 signings and I saw that many names attached to us. Jones is excellent and I'm happy to get him. But I don't think we're going to see Lyerla or Roberson.

[Guest]

Some writers are insinuating no team is willing to sign Lyerla.

[wvcbxl]

Da list:

 

Jordan Lynch QB (though listed as RB)

Defensive tackles Brandon Dunn (Louisville) and Lee Pegues (East Carolina)

Guards Ryan Groy (Wisconsin) and James Dunbar (TCU)

Tackle Cody Booth (Temple)

Linebackers Tana Patrick (Alabama), Christian Jones (Florida State) and Devekeyan Lattimore (South Florida)

His history is more than checkered. How can a kid that young already be in that much trouble?

He got into all sorts of trouble in high school (supposedly his parents couldn't handle him).

 

He was an elite 5-star recruit who got sent home during his official visit to a bad UCLA team who desperately needed his talent. How much crap must he have gotten into in less than 24 hours in Westwood?

 

I'd be floored if no one in the NFL would give him a shot given his immense potential.

I read somewhere that he was tweeting that the Sandy Hook murders were a big conspiracy. That coupled with his previous troubles might make many feel he is more trouble than he's worth. Maybe the Aaron Hernandez thing has teams being a little more cautious with their selections than in previous years.

[Soul]

Well, it's not like you'd be risking anything if he doesn't pan out. Part of me feels like the worst thing that could happen to him would be success.

Hated the punter pick but I hope he's good because replacing Podlesh with a good punter will help this defense a bit too.

big dude, big leg...but yea, he better be really good if you're going to waste a pick on him.

Top 8 his rookie year and pro bowl by year 3 or I remain pissed at the punter pick.

It was the 6th round and they need a punter. If they think he's good, who cares.
