http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10955664/green-bay-packers-sign-troubled-tight-end-colt-lyerla I was hoping we would sign him. I had him and amaro rated as the top 2 tight ends in this draft class, and hoped idzik would have taken him later in the draft. Look for lyerla to light it up in greenbay. This guy is a talented all around tightend. He is explosive, can block, catch and has a mean streak.
Idzik will take an injury risk that's very talented. I don't think we've seen him take a drug risk yet, and that includes Mike Goodson who derailed on drug and weapons charges after signing with the Jets.
With Finley's return looking pretty dubious, there's definitely an opportunity there, but this guy has a TON of red flags. No family Kind of a loner History of drug use History of missed practices/school Twitter idiocy
I got blasted for saying we should have drafted/signed him and now he's going to be catching passes from the best quarterback in the league. I guess the GB front office is clueless
I was saying toward the 6th/7th round I wouldn't mind picking him up but after further review i am glad they didn't. The last thing this team needs is another head case. And going to Green Bay is also nothing like going to NY. What All-Pro QB on the Jets would you want to take Colt under their wing? Who is going to be his support system?
