Now who’s getting cut to make room for Raider’s scraps?
As a linebacker he is nothing special, but as a special teamer he is a force. Good pick up by the Lions.
Why does wine in a box have such a negative connotation?
With a name like that he must look like Brian Urlacher.
The Lions keep adding talent while the other teams stay stagnant. There is no doubt that Detroit is going to explore every option there is, year after year. Some GMs are on vacation right now, not Martin.
One more kick at the can, and if that doesn’t work out Isaiah is going to return to Biblical times.
haha once again PFT doesn’t show the entire article just to make certain player look worse here is more of what the article says.
The special-teams ace recorded 49 tackles over the past five seasons with Oakland, which released him July 8.
Ekejiuba, 6-feet-4 and 240 pounds, had an exceptional year in 2008. He blocked a field-goal attempt against San Diego, he blocked a punt attempt against Atlanta and he forced a fumble against Tampa Bay. He was named an alternate to the 2009 Pro Bowl and shortly afterward signed a 5.4-million, three-year contract with Oakland.
Oakland Released him only to save money nothing more, and like they make great moves anyway “Jamarcus Russell says it all”
Note to Matt Millen:
This is what a GM does. He doesn’t throw darts at a dart board to decide his draft picks. He keeps working on deals year round to try to improve a team.
You were, and are, the biggest joke that ever tried to play GM. How do you look at yourself in the mirror? Oh yeah, you throw darts at it!
good pickup. keep adding good players, what a change from what d-bag millen did.. GOOD JOB AN KEEP IT UP MARTIN..
