This is pretty underwhelming news I guess it fills a spot for the preseason and maybe longer while Turner gets up to speed

Have to see the contract but hopefully it’s something we can easily walk away from

I wonder if Sweats injury and Bookers lack luster preseason game put some heat on Poles to address the position.

I suspect not an expensive deal , probably just a hedge against anymore injuries. Like AZ stated, underwhelming. Last year he signed with the Lions for 2.5 mil with 1.65 mil guaranteed.

He isn't getting much and it will be a 1 yr deal. My guess is this means Turner is further away.

Have they said what Turner's injury is? Another "soft tissue" problem? Groin? Pec? Calf? ????

I had high expectations for the guy. I'm as disappointed in his constant no-shows as I am in Gordon's.

He blew out his knee last year and is still in rehab. I wouldn’t put him in the Same bucket as Gordon.

This makes the announcement about Ozzy returning to practice to ramp up for the season even more impressive. If I remember correctly (and I have already proven my memory is not so great), Turner went down early in the season, whereas Ozzy went down in the postseason? I wouldn't get so worked up if they would give us actual updates on his progress.
