He was my prediction for who we would bring in. Had a couple solid years in the slot for ATL. I imagine a Lou Young move if it were to happen wouldn't happen until Friday or Saturday so there is less of a chance of someone picking up the guy we cut if we want to try and grab him back following the Giants game.

If I recall correctly, McClain was playing pretty well for the Falcons (and maybe another team) after he left us.

He played really well for the Falcons in 2012.  I remember that.  Know he was with the Patriots too at some point.

IIRC, he primarily played nickleback.  Guessing they signed Lou Young to play outside and Mcclain to play inside

Very possible (re: waiting on any Lou Young move until the weekend), after all he can already practice with the team...  That's what we did when we temporarily waived Horton before resigning him.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
