Around the NFL

So with Panthers camp upon us, it's time to put up another thread for news items from around the NFL.

Starting with...

Jake Long is reportedly visiting the Giants today. Speculation that he would be signed by the Falcons hasn't panned out...yet.

Word also that former Colts OL Gosder Cherilus is visiting the Bills (who just cut Chris Williams).

Via the Falcaholics, news that the Falcons have PASSED on Jake Long, but instead have signed Demarcus Love

I only skimmed the article, but this makes me feel a little better about our signings yesterday.  Suggests the OT market really is very thin at the moment.  The Falcons signed someone pretty similar (little experience, bounced around a few teams) to who we just signed.

Some Bucs roster moves, including signing a former Panther PS member:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made five roster moves ahead of the real start of training camp on Friday. The team signed cornerback Jude Adjei-Barimah, first reported by the Tampa Bay Times, safety Kimario McFadden and cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz.

The two cornerbacks are both undrafted free agents, and both of them have pretty good size for cornerbacks. Adjei-Barimah is 5'11", 200 lbs. while Shabazz is 6'2", 185 lbs. Both of them had a slew of tackles in college, which suggests some physicality and the possibility of moving to slot cornerback.

Meanwhile, McFadden was an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina last year, spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Bucs as a practice squad player, and he's now back in Tampa. The 5'11", 197 lbs. safety should compete for a spot on the practice squad.
