He's gone. Don't think he's going to stick with any NFL team.

I'd be amazed if he did. Should have been out of Chicago long ago.

Might catch on somewhere for training camp and perhaps someone slides him to the PS.

I think he is CFL bound.
Bears are actually dating the Prom Queen, who would have thought it?
What alternate universe is this?

The Canadian government heard this rumour and have immediately slapped a 25% tariff on imports of American players.

Makes sense in a way. Might keep the perpetual underachievers out of Canada.

I'm all for bringing him in on a one year vet minimum deal. I just love the person he is, the player not so much. I really want him to succeed.

Can he tackle? Maybe he has a future on special teams. He's definitely got the speed to be a gunner.

He has 1 solo tackle and 4 assists in his career. I'm not sure tackling the guy who just recovered your muffed punt or kickoff or your own fumble is really very helpful to a team though...

Once he lost the return job, I could never understand why he wasn't tried on punt and kickoff coverage,

Saints have no money and need bodies to practice with.

A tackle dummy could hold onto a ball better than VJJ.

Teams have to practice fumble recovery too. Just saying, he may just have a use as a fumble generator.

He does fumble better than the tackle dummy.
