WR Patrick Carter (Louisville)

WR Joel Filani (Texas Tech)

WR Chris Francies (Texas-El Paso)

P Tom Malone (Southern California)

OT Will Svitek (Stanford)

G Jeb Terry (North Carolina)

WR Chandler Williams (Florida International)

Anyone know much about these guys??? (Besides Malone who was on the PSquad last year...)

It goes on to say..."But the team did report to NFL headquarters that it visited with quarterbacks Chris Simms and Tim Rattay today."

Any idea if this has to do with Pioli sending them back to the airport?

Interesting no TE's to bulk up the running game.

i think that shows ultimate confidence in cassel they are not changing anything with personnel.

Filani is a scrub, TN drafted him in 07 and released him that same year during the pre-season. Can't find the field.

Not sure..actually I was more concerned with the other 7 players...I THINK they somehow changed what they were going to do with QB...
I did find out that the OL are all 6'5" 6'6...and all have bounced around with teams...same for the wideouts..Carter is interesting as he's 6'3" and was the fastest on his team..My guess is one with sign for the PSqd...

ESPN said they were here, BB said they were not invited, and did not send anyone away
ESPN said that to cover bad reporting
as long as its first, it doesn't have to be right
