He was just released by the Steelers after domestic violence arrest. I think we should take a chance on him, I think he could really do well with Chip Kelly knowing how to use speed.

I'd take him over Dion Lewis, that's for sure. Eagles are 4th on the waiver wire, so I'm wondering myself how interested they are. I'd like the move.

Well first off that's a fine amount to have in the offseason when you have a 90 player roster. Let the guys you sign/draft fight it out in camp, then they dwindle it down to 3 RBs. Football 101 right there.

Exactly! Just last year we had Kafka, Edwards, Foles, and Vick then we cut Kafka, It would be the same thing here.

Brown , Polk are better and Lewis knows the play book and this guy is a scumbag obviously so again why would we want or need him. Every known name that gets cut from now until september we need to pick up :nonono:

As a returner n nothing else he is far better than both Boykin n Johnson.  Does he return both kick offs n punts or just ko

I think attitude issues bring up a lot of red flags, but he'd definitely fill the "D'Anthony Thomas" role better than any FA out there.

Dats role is already on the team in Jackson or damaris Johnson although he can probably take more of a beating then both of them.

Does he return kick offs and punts or just one of them and which one?

Desean is not a natural RB. Damaris is more of a RB then desean but damaris doesnt have the speed like that, rainey can play RB. So tied of people comparing d'anthony thomas and desean, yeah they are small and really fast but otherwise they are completely different.

Kid was so explosive in college. Don't really see a spot for him on the team, unfortunately.
