vmax Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 McAlister has been released, so any team with interest can sign him now...right? If so....why haven't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinmaniac52 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 His age? His Knee? I may be wrong in this one but I think I was hearing that he couldn't do anything untill late April/early May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I heard he failed his exit physical...but I'm not certain as to the truth on that. Cris is out of the NFL right now...homeless...tons of teams need secondary help...they should be looking at him now. Unless his knees are bad and he wants to wait until he can pass a physical.

ravinmaniac52 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 At this point until he can take the field I do not see any team looking at him. Chris may be one of them players that sign with a team around camp or after. Teams would be taking a big chance at signing Chris at this time.

Not happening, because he's pissed that Ozzie and Co. That was stated the other day. Max: No other team can sign McAlister yet, as free agency doesn't start until the end of the week. That's all there is to it, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all there is to it, so far. He's not under contract...with anyone. Fred Taylor, who was released, is visiting teams... According to Shalise Manza Young of the Providence Journal, the Pats and Bills appear to be the top candidates to land veteran running back Fred Taylor, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this week in a salary-cap move. Taylor, 33, is expected to visit both teams this week. He is represented by Drew Rosenhaus. http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/nfl?page=2 I don't think players who are out-right released are bound by the rules of the Free Agent signing period. I think those rules only apply to players who are elligeble be Free Agents but are currently under contract until Free Agency begins. I have some doubt on this so that is why I asked the question.

That's all there is to it, so far. He can sign with another team at this time. So can Fred Taylor. Anyone who is cut can sign at this time, they don't have to wait.

yagersports Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If McAlister finds out that there is no market for him, he may change his tune. Maybe. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
