This makes no sense to me. I'm so uninformed.

As long as Payton knows what he's doing thats all that matters. Wish they would've addressed the OL but owell.

It's an intriguing pickup. It doesn't cost us a draft pick or anything does it?

I've never really liked them using Sproles as the return guy. Williams has some great numbers in a league that has a thing against fair catches. Could be a real good pickup for us.

Preston Parker would have done just fine on kick off/punt returns. I thought the guy had a solid camp.

Something is not right. I guess Moore is out for a while or Sproles is hurt.
