UDFA signings....

Numerous web reports say that Freddie Barnes has signed as a UDFA with the Bears.  Of  course, he is an Illinois native.  He will catch passes there from former Rival Dan LeFevour who was drafted by the Bears. I don't really have any idea what his shot there is, but we certainly wish him well.

Tyler Sheehan has signed as a UDFA with the Houston Texans, and will have a shot to make that club.  (this news comes from the BG twitter feed and appears to be official).

Obviously, it would have been great if Freddie had been drafted. I'm not too surprised.  I am more surprised Barry Church was not drafted--he has a UDFA with the Cowboys.

I say this every time.  Tyler and Freddie don't have anything to prove to Falcon fans.  They gave us their all, year after year, and are true greats.  They will always be Falcons, and special in our hearts. Anything they do in the pros is extra.
