He had been given an invitation to join the team and try to earn a spot on the roster during training camp. However, McCants is not healthy enough to take part in the workouts, so he is no longer with the team.
you cant call it on yourself wow i wonder what the deal was probably had another team offer him a more guaranteed deal or a definite roster spot i wouldnt be surprised if this happened. Odd that they would say he isnt "healthy" enough though, but maybe thats the most professional way of saying it rather than "someone gave him a better deal" funny since he got his #32 jersey just yesterday
LOL....well, so much for that idea. I hope he gets healthy and best of luck to him but his value is pretty much in the pooper right now.
From the photo shoot, he looked in decent shape. This has got to be a code word for something else. Maybe Morey gave him a psych test?
Odd that we don't give physicals to players prior to issuing invites. Even with non-guaranteed players, I would think it prudent to find out if they'd even be able to participate. Else, give the spot to someone physically capable of performing. The onlý merit I can see in not doing the physical is that we don't have to pay the physicians to perform the test(s). That can't (I hope) be the reason, though. It just seems like due diligence to me, though.
this is all MOrey's scheme to lower his value. Other teams will be weary of trying him out, increasing the likely hood of having him at a later time for dirt cheap. i see what he did there.
LOL everyone was so excited for the signing and he didn't even get a chance to play in training camp before being released.
