Player Signing Patriots claim DT Marquan McCall (update: waived again for failed physical )

[Love The Drake]

Certainly Davis, but I think Guy is gone as well.

Not Ekuale.

Guy for sure this is a younger bigger cheaper version of him.
How quick do the Raiders call Nixon?

@captain stone this one’s for you, a “Beef Curtain” you’ve been suggesting they’ve needed for about 4 years

he'll be happy about this signing, @Dingleberry can i bet my 250k on this?

And so begins the bottom of the roster churn.

Interesting. You guys are all probably right, but my emotions tell me to hope for it to be Roberts. That boneheaded crap from Saturday is not what is needed. Had enough of that stupidity and then some last year.

I'm better now....

Tough break for Nixon. He was released less for the high crimes and misdemeanors of sucking, and more for not covering up enough when tackled.

Right, but he wasn’t breaking through the top 6 WRs right now anyway.

surely our injured #8 WR who has shown nothing should be picked up immediately.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Liked him as a hopeful late round draft sleeper last year for the Pats. Better late than never with already 16 starts under his belt. I sign off on this pick up with a hell yeah. Good move.

 

[PWRxWLF]

It’s like Keith Traylor and Ted Washington.
They must of really liked him.
Guessing this all but guarantees Roberts and or Guy is gone.

Or that bum Carl Davis?

Poor guy, he didn't get to be here for Year Tre.

 

[SONS_OF_BELICHICK]

I like the pick up. A former starter that could use a little Belichick coolaid to get him going. Nixon wasnt going to cut it as our 2 6th rounders look like steals.....

McCall is interesting, Barth and Brian Hines were talking about him today on their pod, both liked him as an UDFA. Supposedly a high character guy as well.

 

[Brick27]

Like the add. Fits the mold of what they don’t really have, and can bump off one of the multiple bland DTs they currently have on the roster.

Looks like an upgrade over Carl Davis to me. Still hoping the rookie IOLmen make Ferentz expendable. And praying we can trade Bryant.

Tre Nixon waived (injury designation) to make room.

Interesting. He was a starter last year I think. I wonder why the Panthers moved on.

We needed a fatty..badly.

Examining the curious situation between Carolina Panthers and Marquan McCall

There were more then a few raised eyebrows when the Carolina Panthers waived projecting starting nose tackle Marquan McCall earlier this week.

Merge?

 

[WaterfallJumper]

I honestly thought we'd try to sign him last year, so this makes me happy. Our interior DL has no one to simply be a rock in the middle. We have some good pass rushers, but I'm tired of watching our guys fail to reset the line of scrimmage on a consistent basis. Overall, the run defense was fine last year, but I noticed a number of short yard situations where we couldn't stop the push from the other team. Good pickup.
