Two More Added to Arsenal

Posted Mon Sep 1st by

On top of wide receiver Travis Wilson, the Denver Broncos also siged defensive end Ryan McBean and running back P.J. Pope.

Colorado Buffalos fans may remember Ryan McBean, who had a heck of a career playing for the Oklahoma State Cowboys as a defensive tackle. He was drafted in the fourth round in 2007 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, he only made one appearance with the Steelers last season. He has never missed a game in his career due to injury. McBean is very quick off the ball and probably best utilized in the NFL as a 3-4 defensive end.

P.J. Pope was signed by the Chicago Bears as a unsigned free agent in 2006, out of Bowling Green. Pope also spent some time with the Green Bay Packers, before being cut, in August 2007 and re-signed by the Bears.  Pope was nominated for the Doak Walker award in 2004, as a member of the Bowling Green team, in college. Another former Bear, Cedric Benson went on to win the award. Pope has yet to accumulate any stats as a player in the NFL.

    How about resigning Al Wilson. I hear he has medical clearance.

    So you think we still WR depth on PS after signing Travis (which im very happy about)? Im hoping we make a roster move for either a DL/WR in exchange for Foxy.

    I have to say that Philly not starting Lito Sheppard is kind of interesting? Maybe a trade there? They’re making him a backup. Dont we all wish we had backup DB’s like Lito Sheppard?

    Anyone know why McBean was released. He looked like a beast in college. He’s only had 1 year to develop. He seems to have great agility and strength…what happened?

    Anybody know anything about pope?

    Getting any news on either of these two newly added PS, beyond what they did in college is soon turning into a daunting task =) As HogBlog pointed out, I don’t know why McBean would have been released. Someone got happy feet in Pittsburgh.
