Grant Paulsen (via Twitter): Redskins have signed Jacob Bender OG from UFL (Connecticut)

Well...I will say that I'm told that, talent-wise not to expect much. I will happily show a mod my source and have them verify its legit but I won't out it on here. I promise you though that it is THE person who would know.

and I know who the mods are so no monkey biz! haha

We also signed RB Kestahn Moore to the PS.

It that's 2 going to the PS, then who gets dropped from the PS ?

Any chance we promote Capers ?

You know Jacob Bender personally ?

[3 Rings]

Nah. I know someone who coached him this year.

[DGREENHULK]

Nobody has mntioned that he picked us over other interested teams...if others want him maybe if he does go to the PS he won't be there long ie the James kid from Indy.

Didn't James Davis turn down a jump to a 53 man roster in Carolina to stay on the PS for an additional 2 weeks?

Getting picked up by a team that is 1-9 or 2-8 at this point of the season may not be a net positive for a guy looking to move ahead.

Bender, I can see the signs at fedex now.....

LOL

I really, really, really hope that Bender and Macho end up being diamonds in the rough....I'd have a Bender jersey in a second!

Wow, the Giants and Redskins are desperate signing players from the UFL. They have to pay the $150,000 as they signed Clayton to their active roster.

With Bender and Heyer (if he continues to play guard), we potentially, under completely disastrous circumstances, could have the tallest Guard tandem in the league. Both are 6'6", that's tall for an OG.

[mossomo]

I'm gonna guess PS.

Me too. He doesn't know the playbook yet.

[Skins-in-CT]

Someone said that no UFL players could be signed until after Sat. because their season is not over until then and they sign contracts agreeing to stay the whole season? Then I hear the Giants signed a WR. Now we sign a OL from the UFL.

The Colonials season ended this past Saturday. Wound up going 3-5 but won their last game over first place Las Vegas 27-14.

It that's 2 going to the PS, then who gets dropped from the PS ?

Any chance we promote Capers ?

I thought I remembered reading that there was an open spot after Russell got promoted. The Davis promotion created the second vacancy.

RT @granthpaulsen: According to a league source, the #Redskins have agreed to terms with OL Jacob Bender. He had been playing guard for Connecticut in the UFL.

RT @granthpaulsen: Bender chose the #Redskins over a couple of other interested teams. He worked with OL coach Chris Foerster in San Francisco last season.

No word if he's on 53-man (but who would we drop—Rabach going to IR?) or Practice Sqaud.

Or the scrap heap? I kid, I kid, well maybe not so much.
