Also HigSkin, I've read and seen that their O line was not that good. In watching the video on him and what the Skins paid for him to sign him as a UDFA (did you see the numbers?) Skins think very highly of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was drafted by Denver or some team out west. Can't remember his name and how he did in the league. Also the story of some ex rugby player who was supposed to play running back. Anyone have a list of real International players who made it in the league. I am not talking about the Ajayi dude from Miami or Philly. Someone who played overseas and ended up sticking.

The running back was Christian Wade, Bills 2019, scored a 65yd touchdown in preseason last year. Think there are highlights on Utube, but he didn't stick but may return this year.

armstrong001 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 With his running ability, I wonder if Montez could be a Taysom Hill type player. I wonder if he can catch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakazullo21 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 LOL. Don't kill the messenger. My wife is a Ravens fan so we are a divided house. They are my second favorite team. I couldn't have married like a Cowboys, Giants or Eagles fan, even Patriots fan wouldn't be able to. Plus I am a wresting fan so as soon as I saw the name Rechsteiner I knew who he was. If you really want to see some badassary, check out his uncle Scott Steiner. He got real big and started calling himself Big Poppa Pump. Freakish athlete, not sure it is all natural but this kid has these blood lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it to our resident video analysts to examine. By no means an expert but it's difficult to get much from that video because there are a lot of bad reps where he seems to be playing at half speed. In some of the special teams plays it looks like he is jogging down the field and most of his pass rush reps seem to be low effort. Even if he's playing the run in some of those reps, you would expect to see more of an effort to get into the backfield to get a tackle for a loss. He shows some closing speed to finish some of the plays but its hard to tell if that will translate given the caliber of the competition. I don't think our front office would waste its time bringing him in if it didn't see some developmental traits but he won't last long putting in lackluster effort on so many plays.

I went to a few CU home games last year. He's got great physical attributes and is a leader. Just takes too long to go through the progression and get the ball out.

What I could find about the program is below. Not sure what criteria they used to determine the players that will be assigned and I'm not sure what happens if there isn't a training camp this year. The four NFC East clubs will carry these players on their roster until the end of training camp. At that time, the players are eligible for an international player practice squad exemption, granting the team an extra practice squad member that is ineligible to be activated during the 2020 season. The NFC East was chosen to receive these players in a random draw. After the NFL’s International Combine in Germany last October, the players received additional training and development alongside NFL players and draft hopefuls in Florida at IMG Academy this winter. The International Player Pathway Program was instituted in 2017 and provides international athletes with the opportunity to compete at the NFL level, improve their skills and ultimately earn a spot on an NFL roster. https://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/four-international-players-added-to-rosters-for-2020-season/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallen5862 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Does anyone remember when the Steiner Brothers were part of the Varsity Club with Kevin Sullivan? I got to watch them many times when they were in the NWA Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. They came to Wilmington, NC many times at Legion Stadium. They were famous for the Steiner Line and Big Poppa Pump was famous for the Steiner Recliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsnut Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 “Among the Cowboys’ undrafted free agent agreements were seven players remaining on the team’s draft board. Considering the money, it’s not difficult to figure out who those were. They all received a six-figure guarantee, led by DE Ron’Dell Carter at $145,000. The rest were OT Terence Steele ($135,000), TE Sean McKeon ($112,000), LB Frances Bernard ($110,000), RB Rico Dowdle ($110,000), WR Stephen Guidry ($110,000) and RB Darius Anderson ($110,000).” This is the most money I’ve ever seen a team spend on undrafted free agents. I thought the CBA limited the amount that teams could pay out in signing bonuses for undrafted free agents. https://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41094525-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cap a signing bonus, but still guarantee some or all of the base salary. Not sure how typical any of what Dallas did is. But could result in $800k in dead money if none of them make the team.

sportsnut Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 $20k is typical with teams occasionally going up to $100k for a single player if there is fierce competition for him. $100k plus for seven players has never happened. Smart move by Dallas though. I never understood why teams wouldn’t pay them more to secure them. It’s still very little money in the big picture.
