Marcus Thomas didnt even pass his physical. yeah he is REALLY trying to become a starter this year. this “amazing athlete” (which means nothing if you cant actually play football) just showed how motivated he really is. but im sure its someone elses fault right everybody?

TD30 that is true. The rule, as I understand it, is that a player can be taken off the PUP list at any time up to the first regular season game. If they are still on it then, there is a mandatory minimum six week PUP status before they can be removed and be eligible for game time.

I remember McD saying that everyone passed their physical too. I think it is a ploy to get more people in camp. start camp with 3 guys you are confident in on the PUP list, opening 3 porter spots for camp. New England user this loophole strategy every year.

If I read the DP right they don’t have to sit out for six weeks,
“Players had to pass a physical and a conditioning test on Thursday in order to be able to practice today. Players on the active PUP list can be removed from it at any time.”

Let’s see you do back-flips now, tubby.

He should have stuck to his usual offseason workout regimen of nose-garbage and handguns.

Orakpo just signed for 12.1 guaranteed and Josh Freeman got 10.1 so I think that makes things a little more clear for Moreno and Ayers deals. Should happen any time now.

I might be mistaken, but I think a few days ago McDaniels said everyone passed the physical and was happy that everyone had been working out during their break. I agree with T-money, this feels like a loophole to get more camp bodies.

I’m not sure that I buy it. This could be a loop hole to bring in two more players.

NateH47-
I agree… Marcus thomas is definitely the most dissappointing… I had high hopes for him this year. He has got to get it together.
