We gave almost nothing for Erasmus James and still got ripped off.

i look at the other way. at one time, James was a good player. it was worth the risk( which was next to nothing)

I agree. I think the risk was worth taking and there is no doubt it was a risk. It was worth it even more because of the help we needed at defensive end. Unfortunately, he couldn't provide it.

I suppose this move could be in response to Golston being hurt?

Sean Alexander released, Boschetti to sign.

What I don't get is why there wasn't an explanation for why Erasmus wasn't on the field. What was all this talk about him reuniting with his college coach and getting his weight down so he could get back into playing shape? Is Boschetti really the answer? He's never sacked a QB in the NFL!

You've gotta feel for Alexander. Guy is the league MVP one year and dumped in the trash a few years later. That's got to be humbling or worse, depressing.

That's what the NFL does to RBs. Pounds 'em into the dirt and then leaves 'em for dead. Brutal business really.

which really scares me about CP, weve ridden that horse harder than any other rb the past 2 years after his injury season. thank god he started to condition himself this past offseason and hopefully he will continue with it.

So long E James but if you keep working to get back to 100% I could see us bringing you back for training camp to compete next year.

go skins!!!!!!

I dont think James has been released guys, Springs was cut and then shortly after we added Boshetti. And I think James is still recovering from some nasty knee injuries, if he helps, it wont be this year. Atleast Ryan knows the D and he was playing well this pre-season...plus Blache loves him.

Another viewpoint is he was fortunate to run behind one of the most dominating offensive lines in recent memory, The result was a monster contract he didn't deserve. He was never the best back in the league nor will he be remembered when anyone talks about the greats of the game.

it would be ironic if he ended up in Arizona playing with Kurt Warner.

Nahhhhh that dude GOT PAID before he was trashed! I think it was something like 8 million. He's not depressed he's going back to his island in the bahamas for some margaritas and daquaris and whatever else they drink down there.

I'd rather see Alexander let go than Rob Jackson. I'm interested in seeing how Jackson can do in a game. He seems to have a knack for getting to the quarterback. Erasmus James? I don't know what the deal with him is.
