[arghawkfan]

Darboh looks out of chances, no big surprise

Neither played a significant role the last 2 years.

Sucks for Naz. To go though what he has in his life and then to end up on the IR. Doesn't mean he's done though. Fingers crossed he comes back and strong. Will be interesting to see who they will designate to bring back from the IR.

I'm a fan of both guys, not as players but as people in general. They both have overcome so much, and I wish them the best.

Quite a few them have contributed, and others still could. It's not out of the question that Jones turns out to be a solid player down the road. No matter what, people will dwell on the Mcdowell thing 20 years from now. But, the Front Office is supposed to predict that a guy is gonna' drive in to a tree :lol:

Getting 5 starters (if one counts Moore as a starter and if Pocic continues his current form) out of a draft is very good (granted they're trying to replace T2) -- but to think what could have been if Seattle hadn't ignored the obvious signs around McDowell and if Nazair and Delano lived up to the spark they showed at times.

Also imagine if I could just win the lottery.

Darboh a real 3rd round bust. So it took just 2+ years to give up on him, they cut 4th round WR Chris Harper the year he was drafted and they traded 4th rounder WR Norwood just a year after they drafted him. So Jennings ought to be sweating.

 

[onanygivensunday]

Jennings athleticism shows even though his opportunities have been few and far between.

I doubt that Pete is ready to call it quits with Jennings... not yet.

Can’t find the link now, but pretty sure the accident was flipping the ATV in urban Detroit. Evidently it’s a thing to cruise around neighborhoods on unlicensed rigs and the cops don’t care.

KIRO was saying that Darboh was traded to the Patriots but failed the physical.

That's right. Darboh was waived with an injury designation. The Patriots surprised by claiming him. Then after the Patriots walked away from their claim, Darboh was moved to Seattle's injured reserve after clearing waivers.

Remains to be seen where his next stop might be.

 

[jammerhawk]

He could even be brought back to the PS.

I thought if you were placed on IR before the 53 man cutdown you were not eligible to brought back from IR later in the season?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

They have a designation where you can choose one player on IR to bring back during the season.

 

[sutz]

They have a designation where you can choose one player on IR to bring back during the season.

Only if they start the season active. If IR'd now, they would be ineligible for reactivating.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Thx for the clarification, was wondering what the exact rules were on that.
