I respect the determination. He should try another team though. Jets maybe.

He made the roster before. What got him cut were injuries at other positions which will probably happen to anyone on any team being the last option at WR unfortunately. And talent is not everything, many a teams were loaded with it and went absolutely nowhere. Morale is a dangerous thing. A player that can inspire other good players to play even better, that's what I think he brings.

It's obvious they like him since they kept him on the PS again. The thing is we were desperate for a good wide receiver last year and he didn't see the field. In fact we made receiver our number one priority on defense. That doesn't bode well for him but hey, this might be the year he cracks the roster and stays. If not he needs to try another receiver hungry team.

Bye Tanner. Thanks for having the commitment to make tons of money being on the practice squad but I have no emotional attachment to you. See ya.

Cold blooded. I like it!

They will likely sign him for one game if he fails to make it next year.
It's going to be complicated though if Peyton promises him but leaves next season after his second SB.

It makes no sense to mourn the fact that some guy made tons of money trying to make his dreams come true while no-one else gets paid so well for their life not working out the way they hoped it would. Gotta be cold-blooded... I guarantee Payton and Loomis will be.

-PS guys make about $6K a week for each week on the squad

-He has been to 4 training camps and has never gotten onto the field, and none of the 31 other teams have signed him. There is a reason

I'm with you- Good Luck Andy. I hope you pass the CPA exam

if he earns his way onto the roster, I can not imagine any true fan would not be happy for the kid. he just does not go away. SP has to see something in this kid
