Why haven't we heard any of this prior to 4:00 PM today? :unsure:

No leaks coming from OBD these days.

They got to Don's "source" so there is no more "we" with insider info :rolleyes:

 Didn't hear about Julian Stanford. Anything on that guy? 

As has been said, Julian Stanford is a much traveled journeyman in the NFL having come from a small college.  He's undersized for a linebacker, but that doesn't seem to matter a whole lot to McDermott.  He has been a special teams captain, which suggests he's been a standout there.  the other thing that is noteworthy is his athleticism.  At his pro day he ran a 4.51 40 and had a 6.59 3 cone drill.  He also has a 42 inch vertical to his credit, and though undersized benched 27 reps.  It  is likely that athleticism was a major drawing card for Beane.  He probably figures he got at least a great special teamer and that Stanford may have some untapped upside as an outside linebacker.

I just dont like the contract. Seems like a vet minimum type guy. Maybe a backup at Will to Milano?

LOL @ people legitimately being upset about the contract of a ST linebacker who gets $550,000 guaranteed!

Also, Ramon Humber and Lorenzo Alexander are two recent "journeyman special teams guys" who managed to do alright in Buffalo. Let's see how things go.

No numbers on Star, but where in the world are they getting this money from? For not gonna be "big players" in FA, sure seems like Star for 5 years, coupled with Trent Murphy's 3 year deal, is being more active than I imagined. Not to mention Ivory and Davis. And all of this on Day 1(officially). Room for more, cheaper depth guys? Either way, Im loving it. 

I really like what Davis and Murphy can bring to the team. As well as Star. Good job McBeane!

And yes, I know we saved a bit with Cordy n Tyrod leaving, but still, they are spending more than I thought

Don't believe anything anyone says prior to FA or the draft.
