One more to sign...

Ok...so last weekend I posted a message about signing draftees and mentioned that we apparently weren't so close to signing Brown. Within an hour, Brown signed. Earlier this week, I made the oh so funny crack about Irvin and his banana puddin, and within an hour he signed. Apparently, I have some connection with Marty. So, today's the day to get our last boy in there. Martin, you're on the clock...

Well, MB, you forgot to add a wise crack and/or pessimistic statement about our lone draftee, so that means you've jinxed him to a potential holdout! ;)

My poor attempt at humor aside, I think Martin will be signed by Friday (no later than Saturday).

P.S. Is that the Marvel Comics hero Black Panther in your avatar? If so, it's very cool IMO.

That is true...the other two posts were made out of boredom during the slow period. I'm sure the fact that it's been 100+ out here in TX every day for the last two months hasn't helped much, either. Things are ramping up, though, now as the end of the week approaches. I'm looking forward to reading some great training camp reports soon.

That is Black Panther in my avatar. He was a bad ass, just like our boys. I've seen one other BP avatar, using artwork rather than a figure, though.

There isn't a single one of the draft picks that I don't think will show up and be lazy. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is one of the best overall draft classes that the team has ever had (at least from first impressions) and every one of these guys seems ready to make an impact. Was hoping they would all be signed at least five days before camp. The sooner Martin signs, the better.

I keep reading every day about players for other teams who still haven't signed, many of whom are now missing camp practices. Our FO has done an excellent job the last couple of years of drafting not only good talent, but good character players.

I think that is one of the biggest strengths of this organization and one of the main reasons that Richardson is one of the more respected owners in the league. There's no circus atmosphere here...well, at least, there is very little circus atmosphere here.

Hell, even the Beason holdout and the Peppers drama have been relatively small headaches recently.

    • Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds. 
    • Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
