Any news or rumors of him receiving an invitation to an NFL team's training camp given that the draft is now over and free agents are starting to sign their contracts? I sure hope that he gets a second chance, even if not for this year.

His ship has sailed.

I hope he saved his money.

ETA: his story is like the guy who says "I'm gonna get my GED & then my degree. I'm working on a plan."

His best chance will be after a couple months. When lots of players start getting cut.

Multiple teams have said to let them know if he gets down around what his playing weight was and they will take a look at him. There is some interest in him at that weight.

If he really applies himself and keeps up the hard work he will get a shot. This is a league that is desperate for QBs.

how many of you could lose the extra weight if that was what was standing between you and a million dollar pay day?

It is hard to believe he wants it that bad if he does not take the weight off

Look at the chances that Jeff George got, simply because he had a rocket arm. Jamarcus will get one and only one more chance.

Why sign a guy who isn't quite ready in April. Teams will probably want him in camp this summer so he has at least a month to get the weight down. I'd say by July he is on a team and playing preseason ball. It needs to be the right team for him but he may have to take what he can get. There are a ton of shitty QBs out there on rosters that he can compete with. His goal is to be a backup right now and that's the way to go.
