Watch out folks we got another Skelton brother.

Fordham tight end STEPHEN SKELTON (6-5, 250) is the brother of Cardinals quarterback John Skelton. He started 11 games as a senior last season and had 42 receptions for 443 yards and three touchdowns. As John’s favorite target in 2009 while the pair were together at Fordham, Stephen set career highs with 63 receptions for 634 yards (10.1 yard avg.) and six touchdowns. The 63 receptions were the most all-time in school history for a tight end and the fifth-best single-season total in school history. For his career, Skelton had 127 receptions for 1,313 yards (10.3 yard avg.) and 10 touchdowns in 40 games played.

Sweet.

Good to see Skelton's brother signed as well as Campbell's brother.

21 is a lot, that would give us about 60 players on the roster, leaving 20 spots to get some starters in Free Agency.

[Matt L]

Do they have Stephen Skelton jersey's available yet?

Heavy negotiating.

Heavy negotiating.

They didn't have to give up any picks to sign them either!

Yeah but somebody is going to have pay the food bill. 90 guys almost all of them over 200lbs. That's gonna be some serious eating. Should take a good chunk of the cap space.

Ya, and who is paying for all this Gatorade?!

 

[joeshmo]

Lack of LB's is very odd???

I'd like to see what they eat a day. You know one of those articles that talks about 30 dozen eggs, 300lbs of bacon, 275 pancakes etc.

It's got a lot of offensive line players. I guess LBs will have to be filled in by vets.

Overall, this group is very "bleh" to me. O'Dowd is the only one I think will definitely contribute, the rest are a crap shoot.

Oh, we do have a punter to compete with Graham, so there is that.

Why would Stephen Skelton sign with the Cards since Whiz treated his John so poorly??

CC's brother signed so another sign of how poorly players are treated by the coaches/Whiz.

We signed a TON of OT's, serious competition for Levi?

LBer's, I sped read the article but it looked like 2 signed. We already have 3 "camp fodder" types already on the roster so maybe we are looking to sign a vet FA or two.
