I don't get this line of thinking. The dude's gonna be a near-minimum vet signing with little if any signing bonus; i.e.: No salary cap implications whatsoever... So why wait to sign him or anyone else to a similar contract? Bring him here some time after mandatory mini-camp when all the TEs already here have been seen... At worst, he can provide insurance in case of any further injury to the ranks; he can set a bar over which Dippre & Arkin need to reach by the end of TC; and he & Double-H can show those two & Raridon what it means to be a Pro here...
