Packers sign DE Ray Drew

[Deleted member 6794]

Drew (6-5, 275) went undrafted in 2015 and spent last season on the Dolphins and Browns practice squads.

During a four-year college career at Georgia he totaled 52 solo tackles, assisted on another 61, had 13 TFLs and 7.5 sacks.

Pop the Champagne Corks.....we signed a FA!!!

"A 6-foot-5, 275-pound pass rusher out of Georgia, Drew most likely projects as an outside linebacker in the Packers' 3-4 base defense"

Oh hell another one of those?

I don't expect Drew to ever play in a regular season game for the Packers.

Can we inscribe that on his HOF Bust?

Drew was a 5 star recruit with a lot of hype surrounding him coming out of HS.

Probably won't even make the team.

Can you tell me today's lottery numbers while you're looking at that crystal ball oh Swami?

 

[Sky King]

I wonder if Mulumba is worried.

 

[Vrill]

Well, honestly, he fits the "size" TT/MM seem to like at DE/OLB for us.

 

[NelsonsLongCatch]

Super Bowl!

 

[Snoops]

Yeah woo hoo no one cares about this guy won't even see the field lol so anyone know what's up with raji? I first see the panthers are interested and Green Bay too but then he just retired. What's up with that

let's put 5 bucks on it

This guy wasn't good enough out of college to be drafted. Worse yet he wasn't even signed for peanuts during the UDFA period. It is a tough road to catch on as mini-camp filler, but he did but then managed to get stuck on two practice squads. He didn't do anything to excite two bad teams, but they're also bad teams with bad GMs.

I'm intrigued but not hopeful.

I'll say this about TT. To be generally this stingy in free agency, one most make sure that it counts each time. There's not much room for error.

I'll take that for sure....be awesome if he is of the Near level for what we have in him no doubt.

 

[GreenBaySlacker]

Good. Now we can fill out out cut list....
He does have the potential to be a Neal replacment for league minimum. Maybe he is a player? Maybe he can play special teams? Who the heck knows?!?!

Lame.

Lets send Raji's mama some flowers... Get well soon card. Give Raji a pee test schedule, and a bag of sticky icky ICKY!!! See if we cant get him in a good enough mood to sign.

I would be excited if Drew turns out to be as productive as Neal. It's way more likely this guy won't even make it on the Packers practice squad and was just brought in as a camp body.

 

[Poppa San]

Yep, sounds like that Tramon Williams guy that went through here a few seasons ago.

I'm picking up on your sarcasm

Would Tramon Williams be the exception or the rule?

 

[Vrill]

Maybe Gunter too......

 

[Vrill]

Also, Sam Shields was undrafted, LOL

That was in response to a plethora of comments such as:

I'm fairly certain the same attitudes existed when Tramon was added to the practice squad and given his rookie contract. May be correct but to run him out of town before the first OTA?
