Don't forget, Usama's a small school kid who was drafted as a project. He's been developing in our system for three seasons. He may not be a starter yet, but he provides depth.

I went to Kent, so I really wanted to see him do well (we lived in the same dorm, 20 years apart).
I just don't think he has the tools. I'm fine with him at $1 mill a year.

When you look at the whole article, we have signed an amazing amount of players this offseason:

Signed
Zach Strief
Usama Young
Jermon Bushrod
Remi Ayodele
Jeff Charleston
Chris Reis
David Thomas
Leigh Torrence
Anthony Hargrove
Jason Kyle
Nick Leckey
Pierson Prioleau
plus Alex Brown

Who's left
Mark Brunell
Dan Campbell Kendrick Clancy
Darnell Dinkins Billy Miller
Darren Sharper Paul Spicer
Marvin Mitchell Pierre Thomas
Roman Harper Lance Moore
Courtney Roby Jammal Brown

The article had Evans as unsigned, but I think he signed his tender and is negotiating for a long term deal.

Bottom line- hopefully the FO has told PT, Sharper, Evans and Moore that they wanted to fill the roster and sign role players, and then work on the stars.
