We're near the end of the early FA period and have completed the signings we'll make prior to the draft. We've added three more players worth noting:

SS Kevin Yeager (38/43) - With the departure of Minahan we also lost our Secondary Leader, and some unpleasantries erupted. Yeager was brought on to be our new leader. He's not very good, and was sadly the best we could come up with from the FA pool. We'll be looking around in late FA/post-camp cuts for a better alternative.

K Tyrell Simuel (47/47) - According to the scouts Simuel has perhaps the worst kicking accuracy in the league (6/6). However, he's also got perhaps the most powerful leg in the league (100/100) and is a monster on kickoffs (96/96 on distance, 82/82 on hang time). The 5th year pro has primarily been used as a kickoff specialist, but New York used him his first year in the league as a full-time placekicker and he did well (30/37 in FGs, 38/38 in PATs). We'll give him a look in camp.

SS David Visser (64/64) - Visser is the guy we've tapped to replace last year's Safety Gun-For-Hire Carl Stine. He's a 15-year pro who has spent his entire career with Santa Cruz. His performance has been just so-so over the last 3 seasons, but then again so have Santa Cruz's overall fortunes (10-37-1 won/loss/tie record). We're hoping he has enough left in the tank to keep our departure-ravaged secondary somewhat functional.
