Haha wow is AJ losing his mind

[SoCal Dominance]

AJ hasn't lost his mind, every team signs UFAs after the draft for camp fodder, but they occasionally find a diamond in the rough among them....one quick example was our 2003 draft class, of which only 2 drafted players & 3 UFAs are still with the team, but the 3 UFAs are all Pro Bowlers (TE Antonio Gates, OG Kris Dielman & WR/ST Kassim Osgood).

NFL wide, the list of superstars who originally went undrafted for one reason or another would probably shock you with some of the name, and how productive they have turned out to be.....

we always do this, and we throw em all at the wall and see what sticks

ala gates and dielman ....was cooper a UDFA as well? i forgot lol

[jcdavey]

oh and also the cost is pretty meaningless compared to normal player contracts

more cannot hurt, it can only increase the odds of finding a hidden gem....like gates dielman or cooper

[CTM]

I liked Felder and Spillman, the rest I havent heard of.

Cooper was also an UDFA.

Sweet, they singed former UW H-Back William "Billy" Rentmeester.

Dude is a pure football player.

[-Rod-]

I think they got a nice deal by taking Darry Beckwith, linebacker from LSU

[HurricaneDovs]

Oh so my brother was right.

Ben Muth, that guard SD signed, went to my high school.
I hated my high school so im not that excited about it though. Lol.

Greg Carr is actually a good addition. From when I watch the Chargers play they do a lot of jump balls and Greg Carr is like 6 foot 6...not a lot of defensive backs are going to catch balls over him
