The bust from Cards. I recall he got a tryout from Buffalo last year but ended up in UFL. He would be a nice option, very low risk. If he stinks, cut him. I heard he played well versus those lesser talents like Losman. It is a nice story if he really turned his life around and plays hard. Another NT option.

Bryant was cut by the Cardinals in 2005 after being suspended for a year due to a positive drug test.

Clean and sober for nearly a year, Bryant emphasized that he's determined to prove himself.

"I got a second chance by the grace of God and this 12-step program," Bryant said from his home in Phoenix. "I've been able to come to a place of peace now. All I wanted was a second chance and I got what I wanted. Now, I've got to show and prove myself.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/06/wendell-bryant-i-got-a-second-chance.php

What are his measurements. If I remember he was a small quick guy. Does that fit the 3-4?

Yeah, I didn't think he was a 3-4 NT, but I could be wrong. Maybe he could play DE though, I don't know. Either way I like his determination and it couldn't hurt to at least bring him to camp or spring OTA's.

Not sure. He is 6'5 303. Is that big enough?

Don't bother with this scrub. We have guys like Stroud, Williams, and Johnson to play 3/4 DE. At least they have been in the league. We need a Nose tackle like Kris Jenkins!

We'd be more successful plugging Kyle Williams in there than Byrant. Sorry I'll pass.

Pass. I'll take my chances on a young guy over a reclamation project.

I wish him the best, though.

If he is a Play maker then bring him in ..................its obvious that we have too few of them other than Stroud on the front seven

You know Doc in most cases where the cost is a factor I would agree but this is not one of those cases. I beleive that some true football players are in the "Farm League" they just didnt get the exposure or made a bad choice and didnt make the cut.

If he is willing to work and he has the roght attitude he might end up being a solid filler for the D Line. Not saying lets start him but if he is comparable to what we have on the bench now might as well sign him and see what comes of it.

IMO... What can it hurt... he sounds like he'd be so happy to be given a shot he might do ti for next to nothin

The front office I hope will never :monkeyp: us like they did the past 10 years with their ignorance

I wouldn't mind signing him. I think there is nothing wrong with signing players who for whatever reason had to play at a lower level of competition for whatever reason, especially someone who was a fairly high draft choice. If he is 6'4" or 6'5" he may be able to add 30 lbs of muscle without too much difficulty. The biggest question I have is his apparent need to be close to family, which is not a bad thing for him. If his family is out west, he may look for an opportunity to play for a west coast team rather than Buffalo.

NOT THE DUDE...

Id rather just sign jarvis green and aubrayo franklin and then draft a nt in the draft

i don't see any reason to not give the guy a chance.. it can never hurt to have a 1st round talent at league minimum with something to prove. i don't care where you project him for the line.. see what works.. guys like hargrove just won a superbowl and went throught he exact same thing.. and he was a very good player for the saints.. and he doesnt have the talent that bryant has.
