Skins work out JaMarcus Russell (and a bunch of other free agents)

[BigHairedAristocrat]

so we would cut the guy we benched a 5 time pro-bowler for in order to make room for a 300-lb bust with a horrible work ethic?

if this happened, the only logical explanation would be that, in the year 2050, an old vinny cerrato transferred his consciousness into a killer cyborg that looks like mike shanahan back, then traveled back in time to kill the present day to kill mike shanahan and assume his identity. of course, this only goes to show how inept cerrato really is. he could have just gone back in time to tell his former self not to make the dumb moves that got him fired in the first place.

I am in favor of signing him - I was just pointing out how foolish it would make the decision to bench mcnabb in favor of grossman. Essentially, signing Russell and cutting Grossman would say that this is how Shanahan views his QBs:

Russell > Grossman > McNabb

And that's retarded.

Gotcha.

I don't even think we're signing him, he's useless right now even as a #3. If he drops another 20 lbs and continues to do all the right things, I could see signing him in the offseason to see what he can do in camps.
