At first I was kind of surprised when I read this. I kind of agree with the captain, that why not just let him compete with the rest of large group of OT candidate and let the chips fall where they may. But I don't think adding $3MM in cap savings is going to lead to the signing of ANYONE "significant", even though it opens a roster spot and a money enough to sign a veteran body who MIGHT help in the end.
I'm kind of disappointed that we haven't yet signed an XFL guy to a contract. You have to think that at least a dozen or so guys who played there are worthy of a closer look in TC. I know a very few have already been signed. Where is our XFL guy. Maybe they are looked closer at some USFL prospect? I don't know.
