KFFL also just mentioned this signing. Can't say it's worth much though as the Texan's line has sucked and thus I'm assuming it's just another camp body.

5th year out of Michigan State. He started 8 games for the Colts in 2004. He was listed as a Panther last year, but did not appear in any games. Injury?

I sure hope he doesn't make the team. He's not very good.

He's probably also a little bit behind because he didn't have much of a position coach in Houston. :wink:

I don't know diddley squat about this guy, but isn't it sometimes true that a guy who is a washout for one team, can sign with another team, and due to new teammates, new coaches and whatever else, can turn into a player who can turn heads? I've heard of this happening but don't ask me to come up with names. What do ya think, any truth to this? :wink:

Of course, it can happen. Look at Gado last year. The likelihood is miniscule with this guy.

PACKERS SIGN GUARD TUPE PEKO

Peko, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound veteran out of Michigan State, is a fourth-year player who previously has spent time with four organizations.

Originally selected by the New York Jets in the seventh round of the 2001 NFL Draft, Peko made his NFL debut in 2003 with the Indianapolis Colts, where he played all 27 of his NFL games, including nine starts.

A versatile lineman, Peko started eight of the first nine games for Peyton Manning and the Colts at right guard in 2004.

One year earlier, he played in all 16 Indianapolis games, primarily in a reserve and special-teams role.

In addition to the Colts and Jets, Peko also has appeared on preseason rosters of the Seattle Seahawks (2002) and Carolina Panthers (2005). Peko, whose name is pronounced TOO-pay PECK-oh, has been assigned No. 64.

There is another unusual name of a player digging in to land a spot with us.

Atari Bigby and TUPE PEKO !
