Should Buffalo bring him in to compete with Shelton?

[ryven]

I still dont understand why we cut him in the first place, but yes I think we should resign him if nothing else to back up shelton

...and the people who screamed end of the world last year when he signed with NE...where are they??

he was released due to injury...he was a FA...

I don't think he could make this team and I'm not positive Shelton makes this team either. I think Neufeld will be moved to H-back/TE.

He did pretty decent when he was in buffalo and I thought he was on his way to be a solid starter. Does anyone know how serious the injury was I mean is it something that will hinder his performance or was something that a little time would solve?

it was serious enough to get him cut with a settlement but I believe he played last year.

I think we should take a look. There is a reason Shelton wasn't even in the league last year. I liked Crosby, he was coming along nicely and I think he would make a decent FB in the NFL. I do also think that Neufeld or possibly Peters may become an H back of some sort though and make both of the FB's expendable.

i like crosby just because in all of my madden franchises, he ends up being a pro-bowler within a couple years

[Jan Reimers]

He must never have recovered fully from his injury. At one time he was a very effective special teams player for us, and was pushing Sam Gash for the starting FB spot. I like him and would give him a good look if he is healthy.

I think Shelton is just about guaranteed a spot on this team. He re-dedicated himself to the game. Being out for a year really humbled him. He had taken things for granted before and probably wasn't in NFL shape. I think he's going to be a nice addition to this team.

Wow, could you imagine Peters opening up holes for TH or WM? There'll be LBs crapping in their pants at the sight of a 340lb FB headed their way!

I'm all for bringing him at least to get a physical...see how healthy he is.
