Makes me feel like I'm getting old. I remember the first time I heard his team, never even thought he was good enough for practice squad material; he proved me wrong over the years.

I remember being upset with Herm letting him go and being disgusted seeing him play so well for the Giants, but at the same time happy for him. I'm guessing he wanted a multi-year commitment and couldn't find one so he chose this path instead. Best of luck to him.
