Stevie Baggs
No NFL game experience
Made it to last cut of Arizona in 2010, and Lions in 04 and 05 but never on 53 roster.
Know nothing about Canadian FL rules but was signed as a free agent by Hamilton in 2010, Played for Saskatchewan 2008 and 9, Edmonton 2007, and Winnipeg 2006-7. Sure looks like skill but why no stability?
Had 5 special team tackles with Saskatch.
Here is info, but admittedly it is his site.

Now why? Why do we bring in a rush LB that played "DE".
I don't buy camp competition on this one.
I'm seeing 'undisclosed' appearing too many times in reference to Josh Bynes.
I read here that we were in the 5DB (nickle) 50%.... read it off a front page article link, can't find it again.... I don't know who comes out for the extra DB.... but my mind says here is less need/pressure for front 7 slots and here we are signing one. And reading about some added bonus coverage skills in some of the new DBs.
I've read the rumblings on Ellerbe, haven't really heard anything on Chavis (I'll be watching pre-season).
Brendon Ayanbadejo is in his last year, need to hear cap issues.
Also remembering how ST wasn't good, how we have seen ST really fortified, and BA was on that mediocre one. I'm not saying anything, just wondering if he is closer to bubble instead of lock.
Add in the signings of Darryl Blackstock, Ricky Brown
Toss Nigel Carr into the mix
And the names we know including McClellan, starters and PUP....
I'm puzzled why we added Baggs.
I can say "Oh yeah we improving the team, adding competition"
But to quote the old saying of where there is smoke there is fire? I'm smelling smoke, just not sure exactly there it is coming from, but getting the feeling of bye-bye to one or more last year's 53. A deliberate effort.
