The Skins signed TE Fred Davis, their last remaining un-signed draft pick, and will have a full compliment of picks at the start of camp.
Running around here and will post the terms as soon as I get them. Likely a four year deal in the range of $2 million guaranteed and vet minimum base salaries, but I'll get the exact figures later. The Skins released long-injured TE Tyler Ecker, a 2007 draft pick, to make room for Davis on the 80-msn roster. Ecker underwent surgery on both sides of his groin in the spring after missing OTAs.
Jim Zorn is doing a presser at noon and then it all gets started at 8:30 Sunday morning.

I cannot imagine how much it must suck to have surgery on both sides of your groin.

Welcome to the fold Fred Davis, the blocking sled awaits!

Ecker sure has had a tough time with injuries. With Davis on board he's a long shot to make the team.

I wonder if the cost of an alarm clock was deducted from his signing bonus.

Someone was going to say it!

Ecker was let go.

Man, how much better is it to have 3 2nd round picks instead of a 1st and second? Everybody will be at camp on time, probable saved money and cap space and no superstar ego's to contend with. I really have to hand it to the FO on how they handled that last draft. I hope they trade back every year.

i like rookie contracts that look like 4 year, 1.6-5mill... those things are tiny.
