How does it work? Whoever contacts the player first? They're free agents and teams have a limited amount of money too sign them. This is the time when you're GM turns into a salesman for players they were high on but neglected to draft. There is always udfa gems out there. Think Damon Harrison, Mike Devito, and Bart Scott when he came out. |

Are they free to attend other camps as well? Assuming there's no contract involved in this |

Are they free to attend other camps as well? Assuming there's no contract involved in this These type of players are beyond the fringe of the fringe players. I wouldn't look too much into it but as of now they will be locked into the Jets unless they quit or the Jets get rid of them. Edit to add: They are basically on a try-out basis looking for some type of a signing bonus. I can't recall any of them ever panning out. |

RobR is referring to guys who are not signed to a contract but are invited to rookie mini-camp for a tryout. They rarely stick with a team. |

RobR is referring to guys who are not signed to a contract but are invited to rookie mini-camp for a tryout. They rarely stick with a team. From his wiki Despite his collegiate success, the 5'10" Chrebet was not regarded as an NFL prospect, and went undrafted in the 1995 NFL Draft. He secured a tryout for the Baltimore Stallions of Canadian Football League, but was cut after one day. Chrebet's big break came when he was granted a walk-on opportunity with the NFL's New York Jets, who at the time trained at Hofstra's campus. His chances of remaining on the team for long were nothing short of astronomical: he entered training camp 11th of 11 on the Jets' wide receiver depth chart; NFL teams rarely carry more than five receivers into the season. |

Sounds like he was a try out player that eventually secured a signing bonus and then made the 53. It is so rare I was about to ask if anyone could recall one of them who panned out and our very own Chrebet was one of them if his wiki is correct. If I had to wager a guess, I would say for every 200 try-out type players only one of them would land on a 53 man roster, and 1 in a million would have the type of career Chrebet had. Wayne stepped into a very good situation when I believe Stevie Johnson was considered our #1 going into camp. Remember him? Anyone have clarification on Waynes status? I honestly don't know. |
