Nice.

Good to be able to keep those NFL paychecks coming during the offseason (depending on how he gets them dispersed) rather than dipping in to his pockets between contracts.

Lots of doubt whether Blidi was going to have a future in the NFL bombing out in Tennessee for 3 years. The fact that he has caught on in Atlanta for 3+ more years is a testament to his determination. Getting a nice paycheck and also qualifying for the NFL pension which is a nice perk

Going back to the future.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Good for him. I thought it was crazy they let him go at all in the first place

Could he end up a Giant again? No rumors out there....maybe he is too young, G-men prefer free agents age 30+.

Report: FB Anthony Sherman to sign 1-year deal with Chiefs

At some point Sherm has to be the considered as having the most impressive UConn/NFL career, no?

Another year of the TANK! Long live the tank

Sherman will make $2 million for 2019 bringing his career NFL earnings to over $10 million.

Interesting... He did have a tryout w/ the Jets in 2018 so its no so far off the ranch (but also in consideration or the video release date):

89 games over 9 years. He missed 16 games. He was oft injured missing 47 games. Could work in his favor as that lessened the wear and tear. But it will be tough for a team to depend on him as he spent a lot of time on the sideline with injury.

Or it's an Apil Fool's joke.

Quite frankly the Giants could put him at right tackle and be better off. His broken leg when trying to block well downfield a number of seasons ago was such bad luck.

He also hurt himself weight lifting and that cost him another season. He moves really well for a guy that is 6-5, 319 but he can't stay on the field.

Noting a 10 year NFL career and Pro Bowl appearance and a 13 year NFL career are each impressive, Nick "The Trashman" Giaquinto may reasonably raise his hand as one of UConn's Super Bowl game participants (XVI and XVII) and Super Bowl XVII winner with Theismann, Riggins, and the Hogs. Similarly, Brian Kozlowski's 14 year career and Super Bowl XXXIII appearance deserve reasonable respect. Without giving a hoot about the Chiefs, ideally the Shermanator is part of a Super Bowl championship team.

Pretty awesome!! Even cooler that his profile pic is still his UConn pic.

Texans Release TE Ryan Griffin

>>After selecting San Diego State tight end Kahale Warring in the third round and adding free agent Darren Fells this offseason, the Texans had little reason to keep Griffin. By releasing him, the Texans have brought an early end to the three-year, $9MM extension ($3.22MM guaranteed) he inked back in 2017.<<

Would love if he found his way onto the Patriots always felt his athleticism was underutilized in Houston.

Houston Chronicle: Texans move on from tight end Ryan Griffin

This was strickly a financial move by the Texans that was likley planned before Ryan happned to bonehead the bar window after a few too many Natty Lights. There have been players who have done a lot worse just for the third for forth time in the last few years alone and who had been kept ot signed immediately after by another team.

We'll, considering his public display was after the Texans drafted a TE, I'd say Texans already had moved on from Ryan.
