ON this homer board, now that Nance is no longer a Bill, he's a bum.

I'd still like to know why Pittsburgh has no apparent interest in him.

Well, he is only on the Vikes' practice squad. If Pissburgh has a WR shortage later on in the year, wouldn't be a big issue to grab him

[YardRat]

True...but I expected them to snap him up for their PS.

Yeah...I do kinda have to wonder about that to an extent :scratch: Maybe they haven't paid close enough attention to our game film this preseason...or maybe they saw too much they didn't like . :idunno:

I wouldn't call him a bum, but he wasn't good enough to beat out the 5th or 6th WR's on the roster, despite some encouraging early signs. I just hope he has a decent career and doesn't become a superstar, because then it would have been a mistake for the Bills to release him.

The Steelers didnt get a chance to get him.....The Vikings came up before them on the waiver wire. He would have had to get through the Vikes, Seahawks, Eagles and Pats first.

maybe there was a reason he wasnt drafted after all.

There is no waiver wire for PS. Players are free to sign with any team they want.

Perhaps Nance thought that Minnesota offered more opportunity than Pittsburgh?

Pitt is a very solid, very veteran team, so it would be hard for rookies, especially an UFA rookie, to even get a look. They cut a lot young players to get down to the limit, including, I think, a third or fourth rounder from 2006.

Nance was a probowler before the pads came on. Once there was contact, he disappeared into oblivion. :idunno:

I still think he eventually makes it

I'd still like to know why half the board had such a hard-on for this guy. He did nothing in preseason.
