Dri Archer Cleared Waivers, Turned Down Several Offers

He will probably sign with the Pats to replace Lewis and kill us in the AFC Championship Game this year.

 

I suppose he still thinks he can make a roster and not be 'trapped' on someone's practice squad if an injury causes an unexpected opening. I don't know that he's right. I can't see too many teams interested in him as a late season replacement, since he's shown so little. But I'm sure he'll get some opportunities to come to training camp next yr. He'd probably do ok in the CFL. He hasn't shown me enough to believe he can play in the NFL.

 

Who?

 

He better watch it on turning down offers or the only one he's going to end up with is chopp'n coleslaw at Primanti Bros.

 

As bad as Dri Archer was I think it's more of the same for kickoffs.

 

I think the Steelers just left a message, and he played it back 10 times and said "no" each time.

 

How much do practice squad guys make? I'm sure its more than I'm making no?

 

I would take the first practice squad offer.
He's crazy.

 

A little over 6k a week I think

 

I think that limits who he can talk to about openings on the 53. While he could still be signed to anyone's 53 man roster from the practice squad, I'm sure there are some sort of restrictions on how aggressive his agent can be contacting teams about a roster spot.

Either way if I was him I wouldn't want to stay on the market too long. If you pass on too many smaller opportunities, you may not get one at all.

 

Also, people lie.

 

Yeah Bill is a master of taking losers and making them winners. If he doesn't think he can do that with Dri I'd say he has no future in the NFL. Maybe he can go to Canada?

 

I wish that sounded crazier than it does a real possibility. I wasn't a huge fan of his KO returns but the Steelers kicked him to the curb for a washed up player with the same attributes. Essentially nothing gained by the decision. Another head scratching move by Tomlin and Colbert.

 

Basically for a rental player too.

 

You hit the nail on the head. Brady will show you how to use him. Brady has no respect of person... He doesn't care if you're 2ft or 10ft tall as long as you can catch. Use your speed to get open and I will get you the ball

 

I hope Colbert learned his lesson and to not draft a player just because he's fast, more important is can he play the game.

 

I just wish they would get over these "project players" altogether really. I mean I know it's somewhat of a tradition that The Chief liked to do but he more done it by drafting like "hometown" guys late. Not drafting project players early.

 

Archer was a fast guy, not a quick guy. He had issues making that first guy miss and went down on first contact. Give me somebody 2/10 second slower but who has that quick twitch, cut on a dime ability like AB anyway.

 

If Nix hits him like the way he hit T Jones yesterday, yes, he gets killed...

 

Maybe his heart and passion left the game of football. Sure sounds like it.

 

with that kind of speed he would make a good bartender or maybe waiter, no? would be a waste of talent to have him choppin slaw.
