Recommended Posts

The New York Jets announced Monday they have signed defensive end David Bowens and waived wide receiver Phil Silva. The announcement was made by Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum. Bowens (6'3", 265) originally entered the league as a 1999 fifth-round draft selection (158th overall) of the Denver Broncos out of Western Illinois. After a season each with Denver and Green Bay and a brief stint with Washington, Bowens spent six seasons as a member of the Miami Dolphins. In 105 career games, Bowens registered 157 tackles and 26 sacks. Silva originally signed with the Jets on June 9, 2006, as a rookie free agent before being cut on July 31. He recorded 22 touchdown receptions in four seasons at Division III Rowan University in New Jersey.

Not sure... I grabbed it from the NFL EU website...

I just checked it also. They haven't updated it yet. Those were last years allocations.In fact none of those players are even on the Jet roster now.

Kliff Kingsbury was my first hint. LOL

They probably haven't allocated anyone yet.

I don't think European football is big on updating websites. I hope they are all allocated, regular season games start in a week or two.

Matt McChesney, Blake Costanzo, Zarnell Fitch, Jamie Thompson and (former Jet) Phil Silva are over here.

Costanzo and Fitch seemed somewhat interesting. Thompson was a decent camp player and actually got in a few games last year.

Players were allocated 6 weeks ago, and final cuts came yesterday....Here's a list I cobbled together -- [note: Players may've been cut or traded to another team]:

Frankfurt Matt McChesney G Colorado (moved to the O-LIne?)

Rhein Blake Costanzo LB Lafayette (He's from Jersey, but I doubt he's related to George Costanz(o)

Amsterdam Phil Silva WR Rowan (Silva was cut by NFLE & the Jets in the same day -- Daniel Powter song anyone?)

Frankfurt Zarnell Fitch DT Texas Christian

Jamie Thompson S Oklahoma State

Familiar names, "NOT" officially allocated by NYJ (free agents):

Amsterdam Marko Cavka T Sacramento State

Frankfurt Charles Missant C Western Michigan

Rhein Brennan Schmidt DT Virginia

Berlin Jay McCareins CB Princeton (Justin's brother--was cut yesterday)

** The Rams have allocated RB J.D. Washington, son of actor Denzel Washington.

They are attempting to convert him to offensive line/ That is a real long shot.

R44 who are some of the more name players in NFL Europe this year?

Baltimore: Drew Olson QB UCLA

Houston Texans Harry Williams WR Tuskegee (drafted by the Jets)

San Diego Chargers Tony Pape T Michigan

Seattle Seahawks Travis Lulay QB Montana State

Kansas City Chiefs Omar Jacobs QB Bowling Green (was cut today/injury)

Cincinnati Bengals Jason Berryman LB Iowa State

St. Louis Rams Josh Lay CB Pittsburgh

New York Giants Charles Davis TE Purdue (there was a lot of draft hype on him because he played Big 10 hoops, but he's a bit slow)

San Diego Chargers T.J. Cottrell TE Buffalo State (anyone that employs Ted Sr., allocates Ted Jr., it seems)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jovon Bouknight WR Wyoming

Denver Broncos Doug Nienhuis T Oregon State (a Jet for a few days)

Thanks R44- some familiar names on that list. Gerald Riggs has the bloodlines-with Jones gone he might get a playing opportunity with the Bears.

If bloodlines meant anything would we have been looking at Rohan Marley and Jesse Jackson's son at major college football programs? At Justin Fargas in the NFL?
