Haven't seen anything online but my dad listens to Sirius NFL Radio while driving his tractor trailer. Just reported that Jeff George has been signed by the Raiders. Probably nothing fantasy note worthy of importance but still interesting that he is coming back.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -The Oakland Raiders signed Jeff George to a contract Monday, bringing back a player who hasn't thrown an NFL pass in five seasons.

George, the No. 1 overall pick by Indianapolis in 1990, joined the team in time for Monday's afternoon practice. He previously played for the Raiders in 1997-98, starting 23 games and throwing 33 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

It is not immediately clear what his role will be on the Raiders, who already have Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter and Marques Tuiasosopo on the roster.

George played with the Colts from 1990-93. He was in Atlanta from 1994-96, then spent two seasons with Oakland and one with Minnesota before joining the Redskins in 2000, first as a backup. He was signed by Seattle as insurance midway through the 2002 season, but didn't play. Chicago signed him late in the 2004 season, but he never played for the Bears either.

George, known for his strong arm and clashes with coaches, has a 46-78 career record as a starter and has never lasted longer than four years with any one of them.

George hasn't played since 2001, when he was cut after two games with the Redskins. In his last two games with Washington, George had a quarterback rating of 34.6, completing 23 of 42 passes with three interceptions.

In his next-to-last game with Washington, he and coach Marty Schottenheimer had an animated sideline discussion after George committed four turnovers and was removed from the game.

George also had a sideline argument with coach June Jones when he was with the Atlanta Falcons in 1996, and the team suspended him and then cut him.

George played well his first season in Oakland, throwing for 3,917 yards and 29 touchdowns in 1997. He struggled with injuries the following season, starting only seven games, and was replaced the following season by Rich Gannon, who was a better fit in coach Jon Gruden's West Coast offense.

Are you sure he wasn't listening to the 90s channel hearing one of those retro news stories?

I had to double check and make sure this post was from 2006. Huh?

Same channel he was listening to a few hours ago when the Stallworth trade broke and Jerry Rice and Warren Moon were busting on New Orleans for trading him away.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You have to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!

 
Didn't George hear that you're not supposed to do anything after playing for the Bears? Chandler, Wuerfel, Kordell, Quinn, Krenzel and Hutchinson all seemed to get the picture...

Is Walter’s shoulder injury that bad?

"Tired arm". Doubt it's bad. He's expected to play most of the final preseason game.I think this says more about Tuiasosopo.

Because they needed to sign George to not suit up?

If they think George is a better QB than Tui, then yeah, you sign him to not suit up. I think Tui has looked like crap, and I'm not surprised to see him go, if that's what happens.Tui has beena good soldier throughout his career, and this is a reach, but I think perhaps he wanted to go, and the Raiders are trying to help him out. Cut him early, and maybe he can catch on somewhere else.
 
I bet they had to drag his ### out of some dark bar. It would make me really happy if he shows up with a beer gut and is just flinging the pigskin all over the place. Forget the movie Invinvable. I would prefer "Intoxicated" The return of Jeff George.

 
It all makes sense. HE is there for Walters. Walters is there future. Some people say they see simularities. Why not get George in to camp to guide him. Dynasty owners might want to sign Walters for the future.

I kinda get the feeling thats what's happening too. George will hold a clipboard next to Walter and try to learn him a thing or two.

How does it make sense?George, “Hey Andrew, if you fumble don’t worry about it. Someone else will pick it up. Just try to stay out of his way.”

Raiders Sign Jeff George --

Mon Aug 28, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com

AP reports the Oakland Raiders have signed free agent QB Jeff George, who hasn't thrown an NFL pass in five seasons. George, the No. 1 overall pick by Indianapolis in 1990, joined the team in time for Monday's afternoon practice. He previously played for the Raiders in 1997-98, starting 23 games and throwing 33 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. It is not immediately clear what his role will be on the Raiders, who already have QB Aaron Brooks, QB Andrew Walter and QB Marques Tuiasosopo on the roster

 
Overshadowed by the QB Jeff George contract was the signing of LB Brian Bosworth. Terms were undisclosed. Bosworth's role is unclear, but sources close to the situation indicated under condition of anonymity that he would serve as hair consultant to owner Al Davis.

Al's new look

 
Aaron Brooks = undraftable

Bump up Randy Moss due to George's arm strength.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

:sarcasm: (except for the weeeeeee!!!! part)
