I’m sorry. I must have misunderstood. I thought you said an UFA should start over a 3-time Pro Bowl player who’s still in his prime.  My mistake ...

Maybe need to change the title of thread... Now in Philly

Oh well... waived by the Eagles

[Lhorn 5098]

That’s what I was afraid of when I saw this thread bumped. Hopefully he gets a chance somewhere else.

Well, his skills do have limits, so if this is the end of the road for him, it was fun while it lasted I guess.

Maybe there's a reason that he didn't play TE here?

He's made an NFL roster for 3 years and has a shot at more.  After never having played the position.  Hardly an indictment on his TE abilities.

More of an indictment on Mack and Charlie's QB roster management and ability to maximize someone's value.

Not indicting Swoopes, not at all. His high school QB performances were not remotely impressive enough to warrant trying to QB here. Mack'n'Charlie screwed the pooch on that whole QB scenario, and as you pointed out, they were in fact the reason he wasn't at TE - not that we had another QB to do diddle-e-squat while he was trying to learn to block...

Charlie Strong still doesn't know his name.

More than a cup of coffee.  Hook 'em, Swoopes!

The good news Is he’ll be back in school Tuesday as full time sub at my wife’s school.  I’m sure he will be a fixture at the local squad’s practice.  We have several college bound kids, including a four star with an offer from Tom.

Tbf he had offers from Briles, Kingsbury, Stoops, and Saban. I would assume they saw something they liked; though it could've very well been as a TE.

Just in time for a little Christmas cash.  Good luck, big fella.
