    Looks like Branch came up a day late and a dime short.

    A RT who can remember the snap count would help.

    This will leave a little less that $500K to sign Benson.
    MacKenzie will have to pull a rabbit out of his hat to get this done.
    well then it must be right...
    NOT!!
    like saying according to frank on the corner

    Branch probably came up 150,000,000 dimes short. Would piss me off if I were him.

    Just for the hell of it, that is about the weight of 200 cars in dimes.

    Don't feel like working, so diversions come easy: turns out this is about the same volume in dimes as the Spanish got in gold for Atahualpa. Al would have paid that much in gold too if Branch went under 4.0.

    I know you are a fan of this prospect.

    I would be, if I didn't still have major MLB concerns, major OLB depth concerns and Slight Backup QB concerns with our backups being a 7 year failure, a TE insisting he's a QB and an IVY League kid.

    Nonetheless... Benson would make a whole lot of people worrying about McFadden's durability clam up and that would cut down on like 70 percent of this sites repost problems!

    Heh ?

    So we are allowed 90 guys on the current roster.
    We presently have 88.
    will cut down to 53 by season start.
    With me so far ? ...

    Cutting out 35-37 players won't clear up capspace ??
