Rotoworld is reporting the signing but the original info came from the blog of a sportswriter from the Washington Post. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2007/07/keenan_mccardell_update.html?nav=rss_blog
Good, about time. I'd rather have DeMarcus Faggins as our 2nd receiver than when we had Kevin Walters.
lol, I don't even think it's a lock he makes the team but I like as many bodies at camp as possible to compete for jobs
i'd be shocked if he didn't make the team. the guy played in 16 games last season. given the fact we're so thin at that position, i'm guessing he has a spot on this roster.
McCardell isn't going to be te #2. It's still Walter's job to lose. Kubiak loves the kid. He hasn't really had a shot, yet, to get the playing time that he's going to get this season. McCardell will be a great #3/possession receiver/veteran presence.
Wow, I thought for sure he would sign with a contender. Maybe he has.... Seriously, that should be a good pair of hands for Shaub to depend on for those 3rd and 5 type situations. Not to mention a good locker room guy.
this is actually pretty big news our last glaring weakness is finally addressed this stew just needs to simmer now
From the Chronic: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4992530.html July 23, 2007, 10:06PM Texans agree to terms Frye; talks go on with 2 others Offensive tackle from Virginia Tech is the latest in the fold By MEGAN MANFULL Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle More Texans coverage With training camp just two days away, the Texans have been busy with more than just rookie negotiations. They are working to finalize the entire roster heading into Friday's first workout. Monday, the Texans continued talks with their unsigned rookies, including Amobi Okoye and Jacoby Jones. They also officially signed Brandon Harrison (fifth round) to a four-year, $1,847,125 which includes a $182,125 signing bonus. Kasey Studdard (sixth round) signed a four-year, $1,765,600 deal, which includes a $100,600 signing bonus. Signed rookies were able to report to camp last Sunday, but there are no organized activities planned until two-a-days start Friday. Rookies cannot report to camp until they have signed their contracts. In other roster moves, the Texans agreed to a contract with unrestricted free agent Matt Turk, a veteran punter who will challenge Chad Stanley during training camp. Turk, an 11-year veteran, has played in 171 games for four teams, including 16 games with the St. Louis Rams last year. His career net punting average of 37.3 yards per punt is the best in the NFL since he entered the league in 1995. Only 335 of Turk's 862 career punts (38.8 percent) of his punts have been returned. Stanley, an eight-year veteran, struggled last season, especially away from home. His net average was 36.7 yards and he had 11 punts downed inside the 20 and five touchbacks. Turk's net average last season was 38.3 yards — ranking him seventh in the NFL. He had 26 downed inside the 20 and five touchbacks. The Texans also released seven players, including fullback Cory Anderson, guard Atlas Herrion, center Enoka Lucas, cornerback Derrick Roberson, running back Darius Walker, punter Eric Wilbur and linebacker Zac Woodfin. Keenan McCardell denied reports Monday that he was joining the Texans. McCardell said he hasn't agreed to terms with the Texans or any other team. He said he hasn't even spoken to the Texans in a week. While McCardell continues weighing offers from several teams, Texans coach Gary Kubiak said he remains hopeful that eventually the veteran wide receiver will choose the Texans. megan.manfull@chron.com
