Kind of surprised at the lack of a te addition (so far). I guess that bodes well for the health of Quarless.
A commentary on Bostick as well.
Angelo Pease, RB Kansas St
Gilbert Pena, DT, Mississippi
Gilbert Pena, DT, Mississippi
Pena is a big boy:
@TomSilverstein: #Packers have signed Mississippi DT Gilbert Pena. He's 6-3, 330 pounds, according to a source. Interesting. Big body.

Here's your TE:
@Packerpedia: RT "@RobDemovsky: Ohio State TE Jake Stoneburner signs with the #Packers, per @brdispatch." Great name for a TE. Two words, like Crabtree.

I am surprised Da'Rick Rogers wasn't picked. I know he was indefinitely suspended from UT and transferred to TENN Tech and played this past season. He is very talented and could be an UDFA steal.
I don't think it was ever reported why he was suspended. My GD has some inside info.

Was thinking about Jordan Rodgers but what are the chances he makes the team? 10%? Then Aaron gets ticked for Ted cutting his younger bro.
Plus, I wouldn't want to put Rodgers through the distraction. He's got some new weapons to get used to, and probably a lot more new plays to learn. Give the guy all the room he needs.

Per Ourlad's: "Off field red flags that include coachability and an admitted suspension due to repeated failure of mandatory drug tests."
Definitely not Packer People and maybe not even Raider Nation.

time to bring the Gilbert burger back
btw, has there ever been any small Gilberts?
They probably all got stepped on while growing up in Gilbertland.

Stoneburner got in some trouble after a public urination citation at the Memorial tournament. Best keep him and Hyde away from one another.
ON a serious note, having watched all OSU games Jake is project no doubt. He could be a good to very good blocker/"possession" TE, although he was inconsistent this past year as for his whole of body of work does have good hands. Don't think he has the speed to strecth the field though.

Sucks for him. He is an awesome talent... but a dope.
Another good listing of UDFA signings:

And for my "CalBuc Memorial I Am The Only Poster Out Here Who Cares About This Team" post:
I see that the Vikings signed SMU RB (and probable fullback in the NFL) Zach Line. Would have like to seen the Pack (and fellow SMU alum Ted T) sign him.

Lane Taylor will definitely compete for playing time. He reminds me a lot of Marco Rivera. He will be the surprise UDFA signing who will make the roster.
I think the fact Stoneburner played for OSU and isn't in prison speaks volumes about his uhterneys.

Good grief, take a look at the Texans' UDFA signings.
I really hope Pena can make the squad and become a decent rotational player at least. I'm not convinced Raji or Pickett will be on the team next year which is why I was hoping they'd actually draft a NT and sign one. Those guys tend to wear down and being able to reduce their snaps to where they can play optimally would help the Run D a lot. Rodgers' contract structure leaves them room to sign someone this year, but will it be Shields, Raji, Jones or someone else?
Hahaha 30 UDFA's for Texans. Maybe 1 makes the team

Once told undrafted player we'd sign him for a $500 bonus. He said he didn't have that much but could get it. I said "No, we pay you!"

That's awesome !
I would've bumped it to $1,000 just for that comment.

Nothing serious. Only thing I've read about locally that he's been in trouble for. Of course this makes the news when you play for THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. Jake went to the same high school as my kids. My son knows him. Good kid from what I hear around here. OSU switched him from WR to TE. Fairly fast for a TE. A guy who can stretch the field and create mismatches. Very surprised he didn't get drafted. Could be a great signing by TT.
