The team announced the signing of five free agents yesterday. WR Harry Williams, CB Jason Horton, G Atlas Herrion, TE Joel Dreessen, and C Chris White.

This is a good thing, in that it means training camp is quickly approaching. (That's what we call "accentuating the positive.")

Williams was technically with the Texans last year, though he didn't play a single snap. He played in one game with the Jets in 2005, but recorded no stats.

Horton was out of football last year after two season in Green Bay where he was a special teamer.

Herrion was with the Texans last year (DNP) and has a really cool name. He's also got good size (6-4, 305) and played in a real program, so he's got the most upside here.

Dreessen was out of football last year, but played in 14 games with the Jets in 2005. He racked up 5 catches for 41 yards.

White... see everything I wrote about Williams above, but replace "Jets" with "Packers."

Of course, I realize that teams aren't going to find All Pros at this point in the preseason. Hopefully, though, these guys will show up, take a beating for a couple weeks, and provide the guys who are going to be on the team with some decent practice.
