Former Swans forward Nick Davis keeps NFL dream alive DISCARDED Sydney Swans forward Nick Davis is one step closer to his multi-million dollar NFL dream after yesterday attracting interest from the San Diego Chargers at a training camp in Reno. At a six-hour try-out, Davis impressed scouts at the University of Nevada's football stadium with his punting skills and was approached by several coaches. Davis is attempting to follow in the footsteps of former AFL stars Ben Graham, Saverio Rocca and Darren Bennett - and if successful, could land a massive contract. Graham this year signed a two-year contract worth $A2 million after helping the Arizona Cardinals reach the Super Bowl. Another Australian, Mat McBriar, is believed to be on an annual contract worth about $A3.5 million with the Dallas Cowboys. Coaches and talent spotters from 15 teams watched scores of NFL aspirants display their skills and Davis won a rare approach from San Diego. The next step for Davis will be a private workout at the Chargers' ground, possibly next week. "From my experience, these guys don't give you a card unless they want you to come to their ground," McGillivray said. Two Melbourne hopefuls joined Davis yesterday at the tryouts - David King, 27 and Steven Baker, 30. Local Aussie rules player King, a Melbourne sales rep, could become the second Australian to play for the New York Jets, whose scouts rated him the best they had seen on their nationwide talent camp tour. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 23,00.html

Doubt the Chargers would sign him, they have a very good punter already.

Still nobody better than Shane 'Hannibal' Lechler though

Thomas is nothing more than a back-up. Especially considering they are more than likely taking Curry in the draft.

Leftwitch is a solid player, i've been a fan of his since his Jags days. He is definately a servicable QB and has a farely decent arm. Hopefully they use him for a season or so and then potentially develop Josh Johnson into starting, who i'm a very big fan of.

Rumours around that Atlanta are trading a second round pick for Tony Gonzales. Also Cleveland have revealed they have received offers of first round picks for Brady Quinn from at least two teams (rumoured to be Detroit and Denver), they have also recieved an offer of a first round pick for Braylon Edwards (rumoured to be the Giants).
