How long until someone makes THIS mistake?

Darrell Russell, oft-suspended DT and club drug afficianado, has been cleared to play by the league. When do you think some dope will call for his signing?

Darrell Rusell is washed up. He didn't play well for us or Tampa Bay when he was given his second chance. I'm sure someone will pick him up when/if their D-line is decimated with injuries.

if a team has an injury that makes them desperate enough, he'll be getting a call. DT is a position that teams r almost always trying to find warm bodies to play 10-25 plays a game.

Thankfully, (and mercifully) we dont need him

I'd be surprised if anybody actually picks this guy up.

I think he's worn out his welcome in the NFL.

I hate to agree with profootballtalk.com, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Broncos picked him up.

Brud, I love how you used "dope" in this Darrell Russell poll. Classic use of homographs (is that right, homographs?). Your 4th grade English teacher, Mrs. Grundy, would be proud

I don't know about "homographs". Does one time in college count?

JOKES!

Is Russell the guy we took a risk on who had back problems the year before. If I'm correct with who he is I thought he played pretty good for us and we tried to sign him to a longer contrect. From what it sounds we were lucky that he went else where.

That was Daryl Gardener....he got his big contract with Denver I think and proceeded to get in barfights and have more back problems.
Russell we picked up the following year hoping he could be another Gardener type, but lightning rarely strikes twice so to speak, and he didn't last...

Yes you are thinking of Darryl Gardener who did play well for us. Russell was out of shape and still too unstable for the NFL.
