NFL to host "Veteran Combine"

[dead_poet]

The league will host an "NFL Veteran Combine" on March 22.

It will take place in Arizona's during the league meetings. The event — the first of its kind — is self explanatory. It's a Combine, only for veteran NFL players. Per Profootballtalk, it will allow veteran free agents to "go through the same kinds of drills and testing draft prospects go through in Indianapolis, with representatives of all 32 clubs on hand." It's an excellent idea in a league where some players slip through the cracks far too quickly. We wouldn't expect too many players to get deals they otherwise wouldn't through the Combine, but it should help prolong the careers of at least a few worthy cases.

And hopefully prevent some overpaying of worthless veterans.

Sounds very interesting. Randy Moss clearly didn't have the same agility when he played for the 49ers, but I wondered if his reported straight line speed was really still there.
