Meh. Sure, the rewards are great if he somehow puts it all together, but the chances of that happening are also low. And when a player has issues in their past, it's even more of a risk.Originally Posted by MitchMurrayDowntown

Dorial Green Beckham may be dumb and lazy but that would be a great pen name for a female fiction writer

Sounds like a character from the porno version of Finding Nemo
32 teams passed
Although the NFL’s Wednesday waiver wire lists the Eagles as having officially released Dorial Green-Beckham, the receiver already has cleared waivers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Green-Beckham’s release from the Eagles was reported Friday.
Green-Beckham becomes a free agent, though it doesn’t appear teams are lining up at the door to sign him.
The Titans made Green-Beckham a second-round pick in 2015, and he started five games, making 32 catches for 549 yards and four touchdowns. Tennessee traded him to the Eagles for offensive lineman Dennis Kelly after one season, and in 15 games, with seven starts, in Philadelphia last year, Green-Beckham made 36 receptions for 392 yards and two touchdowns.
Green-Beckham, though, had fallen down the Eagles’ depth chart with the arrival of free agents Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffery.

Beware of Sarcasm
Maybe Dorial Green Beckham can get together with Colin Kaepernick and play catch. And Karlos Williams can chase all the stray balls.

Ottawa, here he comes !

He'd be worth adding for camp, guy is a freakish talent.
This is the kind of player Doug Whaley would be all over.

LOL
That would involve Karlos Williams running. Now that he's 261lbs, that ain't happening.

How insensitive of you Joe -- you know Karlos only gained that weight in support of his pregnant Baby Mama.
What do you have to lose by giving him a look? Take Watkins out of the equation for his typical 8 games a year, and this is the worst WR corps in the league.
Not saying we have a lot to lose. I'm saying two teams have tried and given up on him. This is the kind of player fans always clamor to sign and wherever he goes, he gets cut anyway. I personally don't think he's going to turn into anything. I also think if he's still trouble (people do mature as they get older), it's not worth having him around a locker room that already has had enough issues. JMO.

McDermott is on record wanting character and effort guys. Dorial is not a McDermott kind of player.
Good luck with that, the NFL isn't a "character" league.
It's a mix when it comes to character. A team can go too far in one direction-disqualifying players with character issues at the expense of winning, or taking flyers on just about any criminal element who is not under suspension.
At times, the Bills have gone too far. One example is when the Bills were drafting a tackle at #4 in 2002. The 2 tackles on the board were Williams & McKinnie. Of the 2, Williams was the character guy & the Bills chose him over McKinnie. There are other examples where the Bills refused to consider certain players.
The team that has always put character on the back burner is the Cincinnati Bengals. Year after year, including in the 2017 draft, the Bengals draft players with tons of red flags in character. They also bring in guys like Pac Man whose offseasons usually contain an extension of his long rap sheet.
The National press always try to connect dots but factors such as fit, coaching philosophy and plain common sense be damned. He's not coming here.
Even though Josh Gordon hasn't played a game since 2014 and has been denied reinstatement for 2017, there are STILL people talking about adding him.
This shows acid is part of many peoples diet. The internet is so cool.
We're not talking choir boys though. We're talking team first, effort guys who buy all in...those aspects of character. That's not Green Beckham.
