That's strange. Did we really need another receiver?

Maybe for the first preseason game or two - I don't think he is likely to make the 53

If Austin and Michael Thomas are out with injuries than we might need one....

 

[HitStick]

Maybe by signing him, they're going to give his jersey to Mike Thomas and let him play

What's wrong with his own jersey?

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Justin Thomas has known for a while he'd have to change positions if he wanted a chance to make an NFL roster.

While he was the starting quarterback at Georgia Tech the past three years, Thomas achieved some impressive accomplishments, including leading the Yellow Jackets to an Orange Bowl victory after the 2014 season. In that game, Thomas scored four touchdowns, passed for 125 yards, ran for 121 yards and earned MVP honors.

But, at 5-foot-9, 186 pounds, and after completing just 48.7 percent of his passes in college, the dual-threat quarterback knew any professional future would be at a different position.

"Of course, I would like to play quarterback, but at the same time, I'm a realist," Thomas said this week. "I didn't want to lessen my opportunities, so I was open to anything.

It's a way around Mikes suspension! (Should have used blue font. Joke fell flat)

These conversions rarely work.

Maybe McVay saw the middle school offense after all...

Tell that to Pryor. He's a beast. I was hoping the rams were going to sign him. I was going to buy his jersey on the spot.

Maybe he could play emergency Back-Up QB Too! ( Forgot to use Blue Font)

Because Pryor was never really a QB. He was a WR playing QB.

depends....Richard Sherman was a wr....and coaches told him to switch to db. Bunch of offensive guys could switch to defense if they wanted too....

Tell that to Pryor. He's a beast. I was hoping the rams were going to sign him.

Exacty...No way to measure a players heart and will. I say we give him a fair chance.
