Mason Reiger? Why don't we have the signings posted already?

I think Reiger signed with the phins.

What? wow!

Also does that count in the draft competition? If so, i'm up to two.

Is there a reason Jacob's went undrafted?

Is there a reason Jacob's went undrafted?

Runs a 4.77 40 and a 7.35 3cone. Slow and limited lateral movement. He is the opposite of a late round highly athletic flyer pick. He is a captain that benched 27 times so smart and a really strong sure tackler.

And jumped a 40" vert.

Don't you findv it weird when prospects are really athletic in one area, but sub-par in others?

Like Joe Thuney, 9.85 RAS, high in almost all areas, then only a 28.5" VJ. Even his BJ was good, just the vertical that was poor. Weird.

Now I'm up to 4 with a reasonable shot at making the 53-man roster: Dixon, Rizy, Blay, and Jacobs. That's a lot for me. Of course, I list Dixon only as a courtesy to this year's possible #6 WR or PS WR. We seem to have one every year. I don't think that we have any need for a WR. But I was wrong about Chism; maybe Dixon will beat him out for a roster spot.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, and You can check me on the following, when I googled Rizy he played in 12 games, started 2 in a recent season.

Think he was brought in based on SS and 3Cone times only.

I plan to check out blocking TE Tanner Arkin.

Just what position is it that you think Rizy has a shot at making this team? Just because he has played all 5 positions (LT/RT at Harvard, C, LG, RG at FSU) doesn't mean jack. He'll be lucky to make the PS as the #3 Center.

Blay has almost no shot of making the team unless there is a major injury or two on the D-line.

Here are Blay's Pro-Day results:
DL David Blay
40-yard: 5.00
10-yard: 1.74
Shuttle: 4.81
3-cone: 7.69
Broad Jump: 8’2”
Bench Press: 27 reps

He's a less explosive and slower shuttle version of DT Leonard Taylor.. At least Taylor had a 30in vertical and a 9' Broad Jump while 10 lbs heavier.

I don't see the Pats carrying 6WR on their Pro Roster. Not with carrying 3 TE and 3 RBs. They were able to carry 6WR because they only carried 2 TEs for a majority of the year until they signed Dippre. They carried only 2 RBs from the time that Terrell Jennings was injured until they were forced to sign DErnest Johnson to the 53 because he was out of elevations, but, they put him back on the PS as soon as they could for the play-offs.

To be fair, I had missed that Rizy played LT, LG, C, RG, and RT in 2025 for FSU..



Here are his snap counts in each of the last 5 years.
2025 - All 5 O-line
2024 - LG, C, RG
2023 - LT
2022 - RT
2021 - LG, C

Sucks the Chiefs got both Cincinnati WR's Cyrus Allen - Jeff Caldwell and TE John Michael Gyllenborg.

If Raridon turns out my disappointment will go away, but I really woulda liked to take a swing on Gyll and/or Villari. The WRs we signed as UFDAs are interesting

Yup.
Those are 3 guys I really woulda liked taking a swing at.
