Why not?
Why not?
Was thinking the same thing. Guy is a good run blocker.
The Bucs had him in this preseason & would have signed him except they got Mankins in the trade with the Pats*
He has to be better than the Guards we are playing now.
Working with *******s sucks. It's fine on short-term projects, but day in and day out for a sustained time it will kill moral and affect performance.
The guy has proven to be such a giant ******* that multiple bunches of professional football players would rather not have him around.

it's not ideal that our OL stinks, but adding a volatile piece in the middle of a rebuild seems like an odd choice for a team 1 game out of first.
if the coaches think the OL is coming along and a work in process, it's not worth jeopardizing that.
This is not a work in progress though. Pears is not a guard. Simply.
He has no power and is getting badly abused. He gets overpowered and outmaneuvered.
Richardson is a rookie so you could say that is a work in progress and Henderson also. But should we be putting that much on rookies when we are pushing for a playoff spot?
No. Thanks. Too many young lineman for him to bully.

Just plug in Urbik for now, and keep working KuJo at guard during the week.

I'd like to believe that there's a better solution for improving the OL, but being unemployed has probably been pretty humbling for Richie. If he'd make the team better I'd be ok with a vet min. 1 year deal with the understanding that there will be zero tolerance of any BS. I don't feel like he caused any problems the first time he was here.
sure, let's bring in Ray Rice as well.
really it depends on how much incognito has grown as a person. he was a known dick but he got treated pretty brutally considering the whole picture. some of that was deserved, some of it wasnt, but if hes responded well i could see giving him another shot. its never too late to move past old destructive patterns. any team taking that chance would have to do their diligence tho. might be too soon for political reasons anyway

I'd bring him in. It's not like he committed a crime or anything. And sounds like Martin was at least partly at fault.
As for him being a locker room cancer, no way. At this point he's been so beaten down, he won't cause any more trouble. I'm sure this amount of time away and not getting a fat check has made him change his demeanor.
If he had a lot left in the tank do you think he'd be a street free agent in week 7
