As a half Argentinean, I can't tell you how hyped I got when I saw the title of this thread? Gotta say, I'm a little let down to see that it's some dude named Fells and not some future bust/trout out/stiff named Lopez Hernandez.
I'm sure this guy will be a beast, but zany, likeable, bound to be nothing special, foreigner is one area this team is still sorely lacking in.

So now we have a former baseball player RW and a basket ball player now. Are we looking at some soccer players too, now wait they don't catch the ball, they just kick it, may be a kicker:)

Interesting... If the Kings do move North and become the Sonics I would not mind seeing a scrimmage with the Seahawks..I wonder if Wilson can handle a B-ball at point? :;

Hugo Chavez shhmavez,  a TE that stands 6 foot tall and weighs 7,280 lbs is really BIG news. I can see it now, RW throws a pass to some wrinkle, and the O=Line rolls him down field for the score

Gotta Love this team and FO. Darren's signing is just another latest in the High risk=High rewards moves. He looks a big strong player who catches balls above the rim. This guy increases our height and toughness on offense immediately but will benefit from playing next to our pro-bowl TE Miller. I drool at the thought of our two tight end sets featuring sure-handed Miller and the 6-7 athletic freak Fells. By the way RW did play basketball in highschool. I can see many lobs from RW to Fells both on grass and hardwood

This is why I love our front office. Everyone is studying up for the draft, and we are finding guys that play basketball in Argentina. The crazy thing is that we have hit several home runs with this plan. They know exactly what skill they need and go get it. Even if it's not the prototypical skill set, they find something and a way to utilize it. It's a page out of the Major League featuring Charlie Sheen and Tom Beringer play book.

I bet he turns into a great TE.
In BBall he has to find seperation and have good hands.
This FO is amazing at finding the talent in the world that is going to make them great for years and years. Don't forget about his clairvoyant powers... I seeee........I see a big TE.........playing hoops......in Argentina....PETE GET THE HAWKWING READY!  _________________

He's got 3 years to make an impression so other possibilities for this signing include: Fells as a 6-7 280 lbs TE/OT. Simply convert him to a DE if he's as quick and strong as he looks. Or simply hike the ball to RW who jumps onto Fells shoulders immediately increasing his height to roughly 10 feet at QB.

No details on the monetary value of his contract yet but giving a guy 3-year contract without an official workout, exam AND for someone who has never played football beyond highschool? His contract may be small but he is nevertheless a project that could take away opportunities from proven FA out there. But you guys are right.. This risk is very calculated and not that high of a risk.
