Also worth noting that he was a decent return guy at Oklahoma before he transferred to Miami.

He really reminds me of a mixture between Omar Bayless and Devin Funchess. 

Could be a TE covert...but Robert's should have the return duties on locked down. 

Higgins might have that ability also but I wouldn't count on it.

Dear football gods, please allow this man to sign a deal and make it to final cuts.

Who is this dude? Looks like he has some personality for sure. Never heard of him. As always as I do with every free agent signing I hope he is a diamond in the rough and sets the league on fire.

Hes one of those "local/small team" legends types. Brings the BIG energy, like almost too much. Example- down by 45 in the 4th and hes going bonkers on the sideline trying to get the 78 fans in the stands to cheer.

Most times the team signs 1 or 2 try-outs, but honestly doubt he is one. Im being greedy cause he would be worth a few good memes. Who knows hes a LB(room on the team) and I know Rhule likes those fake energy types.....

Panthers signed Boston College LB Isaiah Graham-Mobley

Graham-Mobley (6'1"230) has NFL athleticism but might not have NFL-level instincts or play recognition.  He can put the hurt on the ball carrier with his solid speed (4.63 40) and above-average explosion (85th percentile broad jump, 63rd percentile long). He has an unfortunate injury history, already suffering two season-enders in 2019 and 2020. Those slowed his development, but that could also mean a few healthy years will allow him to unlock the mental side of the game and weaponize the gifts he has. He'll most likely begin his career on special teams, but he has the athleticism to be more.

This is wild... I worked with his dad at NBC Sports a couple of years ago. I remember talking to him about his son wanting to play in the NFL. Small world.

Not one of ours, but for those who fondly remember Stephen Davis, his son is gonna be trying out for Ron Rivera in Washington.

He's a linebacker rather than a runningback like his dad.

I loved me some Steven Davis.  He was a key member in the 2003 SB run. Dude could run and truck people like no other.  He was a human bowling ball.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
