UConn in the NFL

Raiders waive Obi Melifonwu off IR
>>Melifonwu’s base salary of $669,972 this season is guaranteed.<<

I hate they released him but the writing was on the wall.

Gruden is trading the house for draft picks next year. He's really putting all his eggs in one draft.

Confirming that the Patriots are having former Raiders safety and former UConn star Obi Melifonwu in for a visit. Melifonwu hails from Grafton, MA

Shamar Stephen picked up his first sack of the season today.

This is a lagging indicator of how bad this program has become.... Byes and injuries and whatever but there were a total of three UConn players active this week in the NFL.

Oh yeah, and obviously this situation is projected to trend down for several years to come.... so enjoy what there is now...

One day like 5 years ago when pal was convulsing about how could uconn lose because they had former players in the nfl i actually posted that they might get to zero. Jones will keep that from happening but they may get very close.

Sure hasn’t gotten dark around here. Hard to stay warm with just Randy’s daily inspiration quotes alone.

Just saw Breh-Wilson break up a pass for the Falcons against Washington. I’d like to see us get back to pulling some PA kids into the program.

Watched this play live on TV and never caught that it was Blidi who broke it up.

Former Raiders’ second-round pick Obi Melifonwu, whom Oakland released Oct. 23, is signing with the New England Patriots, per @seanstellato.

If anyone will motivate and get the best effort out of Obi it should be Belichick:

Playing in front of family (Graton to Foxborough is roughly 50 miles) should provide extra motivation...

Is he eligible to play this year or must he sit out because of his one time IR status?

Hopefully he has a better tenure with the Patriots than Darius Butler did

Answering my own question, it appears he is eligible to play right away.

Looks like Byron Jones comes in to "protect" the star. Gotta find some UConn rep somewhere.
