Isaiah Battle?

[Mebert]

100% correct. Funny thing is my dumb ass spoke about Bo Jackson doing that same thing in the Collins thread. It's a UDFA that can not enter the following years draft.

In a nutshell I don't think his threat meant anything. Every GM knows his stock, position or value would be less next year. IMO he had no leverage to attempt for more money in 2016.

It is a strange one, nothing like that had ever happened before so we are all speculating on the possibilities, but nothing was for sure. All I know is I wish Detroit could have gotten him and kept him. Whether it was a 3rd-7th round pick or signing him as a UDFA. It is a damn shame the Cowboys got him instead.

Battle to the Rams for a 5th

Battle to the Rams for a 5th

I really figured he would be a 3rd or 4th at the lowest. To bad you never find out what everyon actually tried to give up.

Battle, who is listed at 6-foot-7, 290 pounds, played in 27 career games, started 11 contests for Clemson last season and played more snaps than any other player on the team (824). He said he left school to enter the draft because he has "some family matters to address, with a child due this summer."

Weird.

I honestly haven't watched any tape on this guy.

If any team needed him, its the Rams, though. 5th rounder isnt a big risk and it adds to the competition.

I read the Rams will red shirt him this year. I can't decide if that's good or bad for this kid whose already been away from the game. I agree that a 5th is worth the gamble. But we won't know for at least 2 years if it pans out.

Perfect -- we can bring him now and we didn't have to spend a draft pick on him

Why? If character matters, then you stick to it. It's like wanting to play the game by the rules. I'd prefer to win without an asterisk (cough, Patriots, cough).
