Comings and goings of players around the league

[Patler]

Former Packer D.J. Smith has been signed by Houston to the regular roster;
Loyce Means, who was in the Packers training camp, has been signed to Houston's practice squad; and
Former Packer Derrick Martin has been signed by the Bears.

[Guiness]

Derrick Martin was one of the guys on IR in 2010. He's got a great line

Despite his absence for the 2010 season, the Packers won Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers

As per a late report fr. NFL.Com:

FS Ed Reed is now a New York Jet. He was being courted by both the Jets and patriots.

He didn't remain a FA for very long or < 24 hours.

He played brilliantly for Rex Ryan.

The Hoodies love for Ed is deep and profound.

Ed still hasn't recovered from the hip surgery.

But he might get well in a month or so.

Leadership from one of the very best safetys to ever play in the league.

Eric Walden was



Last Night in Tennessee.

[Bossman641]

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.

If he was stupid he'd have the trifecta

That idiot will get a nice hefty fine from the league and the zebras officiating this game will be questioned as well. I'm so glad that buffoon is no longer in GB.

[pbmax]

He's gotta be suspended. Suh got two games for stomping on an arm. A helmet to skull hit after the play has got to be as bad.

What an idiot.

On the plus side, he does seem to have won his job back.

Former Packer D.J. Smith has been signed by Houston to the regular roster;

But, it didn't last long. Houston cut D.J. Smith today.

Especially considering Walker didn't have his helmet on because Walden had ripped it off.

This man has some physical limitations RE: playing in the NFL.

" Smith was thought by scouts to be on the shorter side for a linebacker and stated that he "has trouble finding the ball inside at times due to his lack of height."[5] Scouts stated that his arms were too small and limited his ability to "grab NFL backs on the way through or get off blocks.". They also stated that he has a habit of overrunning plays.[5] On the positive side, they stated that Smith was a "Thick, compact linebacker",[5] who often "Scrapes down the line, stays square to get to the ball.". NFL Scouts stated that he was good at changing directions with limited space and that he was an "Excellent wrap-up tackler in space" ... "

PACKERS !
