Patriots hosted eight players for a workout on Tuesday, according to a league source.
Notable names in the group include quarterbacks Curtis Painter and Stephen McGee, as well as cornerback Chris Carr. The team worked out quarterback Mike Kafka last week, and currently has just two on the active roster -- and none on the practice squad.
The other five players who were brought in for a workout were: safety David Caldwell, defensive end Jeff Charleston, wide receiver Jamel Hamler, wide receiver DeMarco Sampson, and defensive end Monte Taylor.

DeMarco Sampson is an ex-Cardinal. I think he was our 7th round pick last year (6th or 7th round) from San Diego State. He had a great camp and preseason last year and made the 53 man roster, but couldn't translate it during the regular season. This year, he didn't really standout during camp/preseason (had a big fumble in the preseason finale) and was beat out by Laron Byrd - an undrafted free agent this year who was our annual camp/preseason breakout WR.
Sampson has some talent and has value in special teams -- would be nice to see him land somewhere.
I think he's there if the Pats need an extra tackling dummy.
Seriously, though, he doesn't have PS eligibility(*), so I can't see him being signed. For that matter, neither does Stephen McGee, so I'm fairly sure that's just "tire-kicking."

(*) I accidentally typed POS eligibility.
Curtis Painter = POS
Yup! I know exactly what you were thinking!

Damn BB! You already have six defensive ends on the 53 man roster!

Carr could be worth the look. If I recall, he was pretty promising for the Ravens, but got derailed by injuries. I certainly have flashbacks to that miserable playoff game a few years back . . .

Just have to say...Cardinals fans as a group are setting a record for being pleasant and informative visiting posters. (Maybe in the desert there are no bridges for trolls to live under?)
