Free agent signings update
April 27, 2008
Just spoke with Richard Shaughnessy, who’s been talking to agents all day long.
So far, four free agent signings are final. This doesn’t guarantee Opening Day roster spots, but these are the teams the following Troy players will look to earn a spot with in camp.
WR Gary Banks has signed with the San Diego Chargers.
“The Chargers, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay were all after him,“ Shaughnessy said. “He had five minutes to make a decision and the Chargers looked like the best fit for him.“
DT Chris Bradwell and DB Elbert Mack inked with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
LB Marcus Richardson inked with the Houston Texans. He had a similar situation as Banks, with a few teams vying for his services but giving him a few minutes to pick.
10 p.m. UPDATE - That’s all the free agent signings for tonight. Guys like Greg Whibbs, Marcus Pittman, Josh Allen and Kenny Cattouse are in talks with teams and might know something early Monday. Check back tomorrow for some more updates.
