Jamar Wall, Brandon Carter and Colby Whitlock were all released today. Hope they latch on elsewhere.

michael jordan got cut from his high school basketball team;

bring him to the game Saturday, and we will pick him up.

Things have changed recently and there should still be lots of pony league available to continue to hone his skills. Did you join the booster club and voluteer? Some tell me that is almost a requirement in HS these days, my son is an 8th grader so I guess I will find out soon.

I did all

the bs…he will be better for this academically. Amazing the pain of being a parent.
Good luck, I must say frisco will be much better with having 500 per class as opposed to 1500.

I guess there is a reason

these guys were no drafted. But, somehow, I just felt they were better than some of the players on some rosters. If they can be picked up by the right teams, they still may be able to stick and get in a few good years as a pro. Otherwise, I hope they all graduated and can make good use of their degrees, if any jobs are available.

That’s a bitter pill to swallow but that window for making an NFL team is very small. Some guys are just great college athletes and that is something they’ll always have to be proud of.

Remember Kurt Warner

Jamar, Colby, Detron, and Brandon: Do not give up. Keep trying out, play on the taxi squad for some team, or play in Canada, like Warren Moon. You all play positions where there is a longer life in the NFL than running back. So you have time. And remember this……….WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU ALL. Guns up! Raiders!

Jamar had an impossible task

Trying to stick as a corner on the Eagles is a tall order. I just hope Joselio can stick cause even he might not make it and he’s made a name for himself as one of the best nickelbacks in the league

cowboys

Would be upgraded with both of them

Report I read when I was on the east coast last week on vacation said that the Eagles would dangle Joselio if they could get a third rounder for him. They think he is very solid, but there’s a pretty big logjam in front of him – and at higher salaries, so they play if all else is equal.
