There’s 53 men on the roster, and also these guys
Training camp is where hope springs eternal. Every team is undefeated, every player has a chance to impress. For the Eagles, they don’t need hope. They are the defending Super Bowl champions, they have reality on their side. But every year, every team has their share of players who maybe do something, maybe not, but either way are quickly forgotten. But not today. Today we remember some training camp guys.
I will limit myself to one per season in the post-Andy Reid era.
2013 – GJ Kinne
2014 – Henry Josey
2015 – Malcom Bunche
2016 – Aaron Grymes
2017 – Matt McGloin
2018 – Corey Nelson

WASTEAM Football Commanders
Washington are set up to fail this season. It may already be starting. Terry McLaurin, the one good skill position player they have, ended his hold out so that he can switch over to holding in. McLaurin has been on the team for so long Jay Gruden was his head coach. He caught passes from Dwayne Haskins. He is 5th in receptions in Washington history and needs just over 100 yards to pass Bobby Mitchel for 5th in Washington receiving yards. He doesn’t turn 30 until after the season starts. This should be a no-brainer extension.
In the meantime the oldest team in the league found $6M guaranteed for 36 year old Von Miller. Priorities.
Dallas Cowboys
Jerry Jones has yet to sign Michael Parsons to a contract beyond this year, which is a good thing for him because I don’t think I would want the former Governor of Missouri playing for my football team either.
However unlikely it is that the Eagles are able to acquire Micah Parsons, every day that goes by that he doesn’t have a contract extension makes it just a little more possible.
New York Giants
The Giants caught some flak for putting up a sign announcing that video recordings are not allowed at practice by the media after Jaxson Dart’s first attempt in camp was a pick six. But that criticism was misplaced, that has always been the policy for the Giants. They just forgot to put the sign up. That’s the kind of attention to detail you need when you’re trying to rebound from a 3 win season.
