This signing sounds like a good move, Fells is a big man 6'7" and 280.
Should help with blocking as he was rated the 3rd best TE at blocking by PFF.

Agree like this one as well. didn't say Meh to that one. LOL..

Looks like TJ Lang is signing with Seattle. I was hoping we could sign him.

I need to see it in ink!! Looks like we're still in play if you ask me. Denver is out...which is a good thing.

Yes I got it from Twitter and if you look at TJ's twitter he followed everything Seattle today. Sucks we didnt get him or Hightower but I never thought they would go for the splash signing.

Well, he was/is in Seattle. Maybe I'm in denial lol.

I thought they should have forked over the money for Hightower, but oh well.
Lang I want badly...

I really thought they could close the deal with Lang. He is from Michigan and has a home here. But I have faith in what Quinn is doing.

Oh ya...I guess the Packers don't care about winning either. They signed Bennett and Kendricks. TWO TES!! LOL

TJ Lang said he will make his decision today. I don't think we are out of this yet.

Come home TJ!!!!

I really like Fells signing. To be rated the 3rd best blocking TE almost makes him an extra tackle who might catch a few passes this year.

TJ Lang in the hoooooouse!!!

Saw the JEts signed Mo Claiborne on a 5 mil 1 yr deal. Kinda wish we woulda took a flier on him....thats a very manageable deal. Where were drafting doesnt offer a guy that had his potential and we need that #2 cb spot covered this off season.

This reminds me of the Banks/Slay argument back in the day. Everyone wanted Banks instead of Slay, but Slay turned out to be the better pro. Could be the same scenario here. Witherspoon could turn out better than Awuzie. 'Spoon is explosive....

Kevin king the other Washington corner started popping up in rd1 mocks after Sidney Jones went down too.
