Wright not giving up: A past supplemental draft bust, defensive tackle Manny Wright, has a new agent, and, he hopes, a new chance at resurrecting his career. The former Southern California standout, chosen by the Miami Dolphins (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=mia) in the third round of the 2005 supplemental lottery and reduced to tears by then-head coach Nick Saban during a training camp practice that summer, recently hired veteran agent Angelo Wright. He has shed about 25 pounds, is in far better shape than he's been in awhile, and wants another shot. Whether he'll get it or not, even in a league that craves the kind of size and raw athleticism he possesses, remains to be seen. Wright played in just three games with the Dolphins in 2005 and posted four tackles and a sack. In his second camp, in 2006, he reported in dismal shape again, blaming his lack of conditioning on his mother's home cooking, left camp because of depression and sat out the entire year. Wright was released by the Dolphins this spring, claimed by Buffalo, and then waived by the Bills six days later. Remarkably, the Bills are one of the franchises with some interest in taking another look at Wright.
If we bring this guy in again....:madmad:
