Interesting comments from BA today on 106.7 The Fan DC. They never reached out to Cullen Jenkins, and they were never interested in a QB to compete with Beck and Rex this off-season.
Not quite what I've heard about CJ, but I'll trust Allen here because he would know. And I think he's being a bit sneaky with his QB response. Because they were definitely interested in a couple of QBs. But maybe, in their minds, not specifically to compete with Beck and Rex. Not now at least.
maybe allen is being truthful - they werent interested in bringing in a QB to compete with Beck and Grossman - they were looking to bring in someone to start and it just didnt work out.

BA felt the entire 53 man team needed an upgrade, QB was not the most important position nor should it capture all the attention.

Not sure if this deserves a thread. Im also wondering if this was done to make room for someone else?

Wow, I thought SG might have more than just 1 preseason game to find out the best kicker.

We have snatched up Thaddeus Gibson.It's a very good pickup at the cost (a roster spot).

This Thaddeus Gibson guy has been with 3 NFL teams in 1 year...Not good if he's trying to make it in the NFL

If the Stillers wanted to bring him back, then this guy must have something in the tank.
