Tip to metal_militia for giving us the heads up: Philip Wheeler has signed, leaving only Tom Santi as the lone rookie hold out.

Tip to metal_militia for giving us the heads up on this. Looks like Santi is the lone holdout right now, and he can't play anyway because he's hurt.

can I say I told you so?

Can I just say that I told you so? All the overreacting here about the lack of signings was only so much shouting that “the sky is falling!!”. Remember, In Polian We Trust :)

Yes

You can say “told you so.” I am guilty of said over-reacting.

What do you want to bet that Santi stays unsigned until he’s ready to actually practice/play or they decide to IR him? With the hard 80 man cap on the roster (which now counts PUP players) a team as no reason to sign a rookie who is Physically Unable to Play. Agree to a deal, then hold off signing until he’s ready so you have 1 more body in camp. Makes sense to me.

huh

I hadn’t thought of that, but that makes perfect sense and seems like just the sort of thing that Polian would do.

Wow

Never thought of that. Good potential find, Rob-Westside.

Yeah, brilliant

That sounds totally Polian-esque. As I have said elsewhere, I don’t think we’ll be hurting too bad if we have to IR Santi. We have Gijon Robinson who is said to have improved and a possible move of Roy Hall from the loaded WR corps to TE.
