Was a very nice pickup by John & Pete - for Free - from Arizona on waivers - Had major minutes in our Superbowl victory over the Bronco's. Wish him the best of luck.

I wonder if he will fail his physical again? kind of weird there is no "standard" for players from team to team. Obviously Atlanta knows about his condition ( with rescinded offer last season from the Giants, and the HC there being the DC who used him last season after said failed physical)...

Just find it odd that a player can fail a physical for one franchise, but be completely clear at every other franchise in the league..

I think it's like your real estate opt out clause in the "Subject to inspection" where you can make a binding offer on a property but still "Get Out" if you change your mind from the inspection.

Last year I think the Raiders signed a Rams Guard to like a $12 million contract on the first day of free agency that everyone was saying the Raiders FO was the dumbest group in NFL history. Well the player ended up "Not passing their Physical" either and returned to the Rams at a lot less money.

Speaking of Physicals - Max Unger still has to pass his.....

And for the reasons you mentioned, I'm not at all convinced that Unger will pass it...

We still need final confirmation, but Max tweeted a goodbye yesterday (he flew to NO yesterday, too, presumably for in part, the physical).
