Another DE on the market - - NO THANKS!

SKINSnCANES:

Spellman WAS a top shelf defensive end about 7 or 8 years ago. Last I recall, he was with the Lions in either 00 or 01 and then came his "minor problem" on the airplane. He also had stops with the Vikings and the Bears along the way.


offiss:

I don't know if Spellman is the guy who was naked on the highway. The guy I remember who was involved in a situation that is close to that decription was Leon Smith. Leon was drafted out of HS into the NBA and he had a few "contact with reality problems" of his own. He was arrested for walking down a highway naked and carrying a knife/hatched/whatever and claimed he was out to find Christopher Columbus. [Memo to Leon: He's dead.] :smashfrea

FWIW, Leon is also going to try to make a comeback and is playing in either the CBA or the ABA or one of those "minor basketball leagues".

That's some scary stuff.

Spellman had an incident on a plane and he also locked himself down in his house with a gun I believe. Not sure about the naked on the highway. Not sure if it was him or not but I remember hearing something about him trying to walk from Detroit to Vegas.

come on lets think about this he will come very cheap if he can still get to the quaterback great if he can't you cut him in training camp.

Hmmmmmmmmm... I think he would ask more than he would deserve.

we have signed SOOOO many people in recent years to give them a shot then cut them, or we over pay then cut them. We need to stop experimenting with out roster, its a huge problem. We have a solid dline, we arent looking to replace our players. we are looking to upgrade our pass rush at end, unless someone is a sack specialist, we dotn need them. and if you havent played in four years you dont fit that bill.

We've just recently mentioned it, but I'm guessing everyone else forgot about Phillip Daniels being able to return next year.

I believe Minnesota rookie Demtrius Underwood was the guy walking naked down a highway. He maybe had a knife too and was theartening to kill himself or something.

Gibbs mentioned Daniels in his press conference and he's very excited to get him back.

We really didn't get to see much of him this year, but Blache is very high on him along with Gibbs so I'll put my trust in those two opinions.

The very limited time that I DID see Daniels, he was making a play. He looked like he got a good surge every time when it was needed.
