Speculation that Bell isn't in 'normal' health.

So does Daniel Thomas.

Scary shit there.

Last thing I want to see is Ben Tate here. Ugh.

Bell is recovering from knee and achilles "clean ups". 7 weeks until TC.

Daniel Thomas also worked out for Lions. Bust for the Dolphins.

Someone call Jerome Bettis and see if he wants another crack at a roster. Or Emmitt Smith. Or Ken Griffey Jr. Or Anna Kournikova.

Anyone but Ben Tate.

Is it possible they just brought them to work them out and get them on film for future "just in case" situations? I am thinking that is more likely.

Yep that is most likely. Like when we worked out Mike Patterson at DT a couple weeks ago.

Not everyone gets signed.

So what you're saying is you don't want Ben tate?

Good 2011-2013 with Houston. Very bad 2014 on Browns and Vikings and Steelers.

Worth a shot if he can play ST. Winn, Zenner, Desmond Martin, Rasheed Williams, 4th RB spot is wide open.

Fuck that, call Barry and tell him we finally have the rest of the team ready for him. I bet he could still do better than half the scrubs they've played in the past 10 years.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I'd still prefer Anna Kournikova.

Mostly because as the defenders watch that ass run and jiggle... they don't even realize she's got the ball and putting six on the board.

Secondarily, because we get to watch that ass run and jiggle.

Lastly because... reasons.

Tate might make a good water boy if Stafford doesn't happen to be standing more than 2 yards from the Gatorade cooler at any given time.

Any distance longer than that, and there's no way he makes it.
