hjerry Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Should we be interested?Free agent OG John Moffitt wants to return to the NFL.Moffitt, 28, retired in November 2013 due to drug issues. He's since cleaned up his life and has been training the past three months with an eye toward returning to the league. The former No. 75 overall pick in 2011 by the Seahawks, Moffitt was an All-American at offensive lineman-friendly Wisconsin. Moffitt (6-foot-4, 319) is a nasty mauler in the trenches who can play guard or center. Jun 17 - 11:30 AMSource: Jay Glazer on TwitterEdit: It seems that the Broncos still own his rights, but Glazer announced that they will release him. However, since he's still on his rookie contract, he will be subject to waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconJim Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I don't know ---- a former "druggie"? I'd be VERY leery --- mountain of a guy, though. If Quinn likes him, and is willing to take a chance, who am I to protest!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley#37 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Don't know anything about him, but this( a nasty mauler in the trenches) has me feeling that he wouldn't be a good OZBS fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I have no problem bringing this guy in to compete because at the very least, he is probably just as good or better than Konz, Gunn, Lefeld or Replogle. Since he is an ex- Seahawk, Quinn and Chris Morgan should know him well. He should also be familiar with the blocking scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan was with the Redskins, and Quinn was at Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaichuFTW Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If he clears waivers the Bucs or Bill will grab him...... Dam...I still don't understand what waivers are and why the Buccs seem to be the first to claim somebody and their momma off waivers. First D.J Swearinger (who I personally did not want he is a clown) TE Tim Wright (not a neccessary grab IMO) and if this pattern continues they might Moffit. A guy we need for either reliable depth or starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy we need for either reliable depth or starter.If you are on your rookie contract, then, when you are released, you are subject to waivers. What this means is that you are not a FA, but rather all 32 teams will first get a chance to take on your contract, before you would become an UFA. All teams can submit a claim, and the team with the highest claim number wins the player. The higher your draft pick was, the higher your claim number is. For example, we are currently #8 on the waiver wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanadonis Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 LOL another Subject to Waivers again. I wonder who is going to win this one? Oh the Bucs. They just claim anyone and everyone they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if a player gets released by a team, he should decide where he wants to go to next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Bucs also claimed the Browns punter.The hapless Bucs are the NFL equivalent of a cosmic Black Hole. Once you hit the waiver wire, nothing can save your from a fatal descent into the Buc Fail Horizon, where nothing can escape, not even hope.

Steel City Falcon Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Falcons should take a flier on him. Especially with Holmes being hurt and just plain not that good. I know Holmes is an OT and Moffitt is a interior linemen. But they still have no replacement for Blalock. Moffitt was a stud and is still young.
