Kelcy Quarles signed to PS

I guess Harper is really gone. Not that I care but I was expecting him back on the PS until we signed two WR yesterday.

Fun fact: Colts cut Dion Lewis last year to sign Quarles.

Nephew of Ben Coates too

He was here for a couple minutes in 2014.

I'm sure that will be BB's first question about him.

"Did you sign him because he is Ben Coates nephew?"

Well they signed Brent Williams' son a couple of months ago.

The organization has an affinity to signing players with links to past players

I'm sure we can twist that into McDaniels is forcing signing players sons/nephews onto BB if it doesn't work out.

Agreed, I had also expected Harper would be signed the the practice squad. I had figured that BB had just determined that Harper wasn't ready for the spotlight now, but he still had promise for the future. However, it does kind of look like BB has completely moved on from Harper, I wonder what the behind-the-scenes story is?

After he retires, if BB ever writes a tell-all book I'll be the first in line to buy it.

We had last season before the Colts signed him off our practice squad to their 53 man roster. He is an interesting prospect, considered a 2nd or 3rd round pick entering the NFL and ended up going undrafted. He played with Clowney.

For the love of God, will you guys please give up on Harper. He does NOT have a future in the NFL with the patriots. Man I am so sick of that guy. We got rid of him for good reason

Eagles have tall WRs, and therefore they signed Hill this week to prepare for the Eagles. They will cut Hill and sign Harper next week when they prepare for the Texans. They will cut Harper the following week and sign Hill again to prepare for the Titan.........

In general, nepotism is all over the NFL.

Shove it pal! He's back on the practice squad after all. Deal with it.

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss 4m4 minutes ago
WR Chris Harper and DT Kelcy Quarles officially signed to Patriots practice squad.

So, the next question becomes: "Who did the Pats release from the practice squad?"
