Nope.

You must be talking about when Baltimore signed him.

Exactly. I agree that there are a lot of things not to like about Dyson, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth taking a chance on him. As long as he doesn't command much money, there is absolutley no downside to giving him a shot. If he can't outplay our younger recievers, then we cut him. No big deal.

Jake...am I wrong ? I seem to recall that we brought Coates in, gave him a physical and an interview...and let him walk right out the door.
I remember reading that he smoked during the interview phase...
You're right in town. Did this not happen ?

Don't remember bringing him in for an interview. I know we never signed him. He ended his career in Baltimore in 2000. We may have interviewed him but I don't remember.

I doubt she even knows who he is. :lol:

(If you have money to spare, you can search the Washington Post's archives to find an article mentioning an interview). :wink:

Good job, TC.

Of course I changed the "she". I knew you were gonna pick on that sooner or later.
