He'll compete for that last spot with Hendrickson. May the best man win.

I think they'll keep 4 DEs on the roster. They may compete for a game day spot though.

There is no way that McCoy plays anywhere near the vet minimum.

I think we're in agreement on that part. Considering his regression, I think McCoy probably feels like he needs to cash in, if there are any takers. Teams like the Browns and other would be contenders, will be more likely to give him more money. The Saints and Patriots are in a position where he would be a nice addition, but at their price, not his. It's a good spot to be in. It's liberating to not have to mortgage the future on players who's careers are on the downswing. It would be nice to have him, at the right price. But not at the price I think the would be contender like teams will pay.

If Coach Nielsen agreed to bring him in, then I'm all in.

I'm calling him Wes Chandler II.

His wikipedia page says that his dad was "Gemini" on American Gladiator. Nice pedigree!

I'm calling him Wes Chandler II.

I remember Gemini - I didn't remember the name but I definitely remember the face. It says he played NFL and USFL, I wonder what the relationship with Wes Chandler is (were they friends? or did Michael Horton just really like Chandler? Or is it possibly a pure coincidence? ).




Pretty interesting career he had:

The gentle giant of the Gladiators team, his actions speak louder than words. An all-round athlete in high school, he was a standout offensive lineman at UCLA. He played 10 years in the professional ranks of the NFL (Eagles and Patriots), the Canadian Football League, and the USFL.

Following his football career, he never lost the desire for staying physically fit by spending an ample amount of time each day working out, and he studied martial arts for six years. Gemini also has had many guest-starring roles in feature films and has appeared in a multitude of national commercials.

Gemini became an instant fan favourite; but his subdued personal demeanour contrasted sharply with his 'Rage in the Cage' competition persona. His best event, undoubtedly, was Powerball, where he was involved in several altercations with Contenders, including actor Billy Wirth.

Along with Lace, he was one of the very first American Gladiators to feature on the pilot episode where he was known briefly as Cattalus. Gemini remained on American Gladiators through the third season and the live tour, leaving only after a dispute over merchandising royalties. Following his run on AG, he had a small role playing a security guard in the 1998 film 'A Night At The Roxbury'.

Random fact: Gemini once had a formidable opponent... the Whammy! Prior to becoming a Gladiator, Gemini appeared on the 1980s television show Press Your Luck as a contestant.
