Comings and goings of players around the league

[MadScientist]

" Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowler and eight-time All-Pro, didn't do much of anything of note with Houston, ** racking up only 16 tackles in seven games played. "

Even in a really off season he's performed better than a couple of our guys.

** That's more production than both SS Jerron McMillian (15 Tackles) and FS Chris Banjo (12 tackles).

" He didn't have an interception, sack, and/or a forced fumble recorded on the year. "

How much of that is defensive scheme and/or respect from opposing offensive co-ordinators staying clear of challenging him?

Determine what he has in the tank. Send a message and bring him in for his leadership ability.

PACKERS !

Um, McMillan has missed more games than he played, and Banjo has been mostly a ST'er. Not really a good comparison. The film likely shows what he has in the tank (fumes). That said, if McMillan has to go on IR, maybe he's worth a look, just out of due diligence if nothing else.

He'll get snapped up by some other team.

Rapoport: Reed released for comments and performance

Published: Nov. 12, 2013 at 01:19 p.m.

02:09 – Ian Rapoport reports the Houston Texans are releasing safety Ed Reed because of his critical comments and recent performance.

Yeah, why not add a guy with 0 INTs and 0 pdef this year? He'd fit right in.

[Patler]

Jake Locker to IR.

Does the Vikings pro personnel department consist of a guy who subscribes to the digital version of the Green Bay Press Gazette and has a Twitter account?

SF released Kyle Williams

Ed Reed cleared waivers today.

It seems he never got on track after his surgery this season and getting back in late August.

He wasn't out there long.

Kyle Williams acquired by Kansas City Chiefs

" The Kansas City Star later confirmed through the player's agent that Williams will join a Chiefs receiving corps that includes Donnie Avery, Dexter McCluster and also the embattled Dwayne Bowe, who will start against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night despite being arrested on charges of speeding and marijuana possession over the weekend.

Schein: Best in the AFC West?
The surging Broncos and undefeated Chiefs are on a collision course for Sunday night, and Adam Schein senses a surprise. READ
Williams also reunites with pass-catcher A.J. Jenkins, who was shipped from San Francisco to Kansas City in August for the equally lackluster Jon Baldwin."

in the eyes of the vikings, thats a win

[Carolina_Packer]

anybody sign Tyrone Walker? Everyone thought it was either him or Ross...and when it was Ross, they thought he'd be on the PS.

I realize your post was a while ago, but here is the current practice squad:

Practice Squad

# NAME POS. HT. WT. AGE EXP. COLLEGE
77 Adams, Aaron T 6-5 303 24 R Eastern Kentucky
54 Aiyewa, Victor LB 6-1 237 26 1 Washington
68 Collins, Bryan G 6-3 301 23 R Southern Methodist
72 Gerhart, Garth C 6-1 310 25 1 Arizona State
1 Gillett, Alex WR 6-1 214 22 R Eastern Michigan
20 Rolle, Jumal CB 6-0 188 23 R Catawba
34 Smith, Orwin RB 6-0 209 22 R Georgia Tech
83 Walker, Tyrone WR 5-10 191 23 R Illinois State

I'm sad we just lost Michael Hill to the Buccaneers, but good for him getting another opportunity. I know he played for Missouri Western, a DII school, but his YouTube highlight video is pretty cool.

Glad that we have Tyrone Walker back. I hope he sticks long enough to get another off-season and training camp under his belt. I think he could be something.

I just checked out Michael Hill's video...mmmm... impressive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET_Rz0ijlDU

2012 highlight video for Missouri Western running back Michael Hill, whose 2,168 rushing yards in 2012 was most in MWSU history.

Hill also finished 2nd in the voting for the prestigious Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded to the NCAA Division II player of the year.

The Packers could have flipped a coin to decide whether to keep Myles White or Tyrone Walker on the practice squad when they had the last roster cut-down from this year's training camp. If it had been Walker with the opportunity that presented itself to White with all the Packers injuries, I think he may have even shown out more than White has been able to. The kid looks like a good route runner, and just looked smooth. That's not to take anything away from White and what he's done with his opportunity.

[HarveyWallbangers]

The problem with Walker is he is slow and short. There are physical limitations when you are 5'10" and run in the 4.6s.
