McFadden and Essex sign...
 

There thats everybody signed and ready to go for this year.. draft class is set and will be in camp on time... Im glad for these 2 players especially. Essex will help out alot in depth and McFadden can potentially be a huge contributor very early if things work out for him and he has a good camp.

Re: McFadden and Essex sign...
