just saw where the niners released fred.. doesn't seem he was able to distinquish himself from the numbers at the wr position.. obviously haven't talked with him, as he was just was released, to find out what transpired in his short stay.. i'd think he would get another try somewhere.. certainly hope so

on a completely different topic.. 1st "lunch bunch" wasn't too shabby .. saw 3 cajun coaches amongst the crowd rubbing elbows, as well as the bartel brothers and a "still active, over 21" cajun player.. my thanks to them

mental note: every wednesday in the watertower district

The 49ers released wide receiver Fred Stamps . . . Stamps, a rookie from Louisiana-Lafayette, struggled for time at the crowded receiver position.

LOUISIANA La. — University of Louisiana’s Fred Stamps has found a second NFL home, before teams even hit the field for training camps next month.

Stamps, the second-most prolific pass receiver in Ragin’ Cajun history, has joined the Jacksonville Jaguars after signing a contract with that AFC South team this week.

He had originally signed a free agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers soon after the 2004 NFL Draft.

Stamps, a unanimous first team All-Sun Belt selection this past season, finished second in school history in receptions (180) and in yards (2,789) and third in touchdowns (19).

He was a second team All-Louisiana selection in 2003 and a First Team All-Sun Belt selection in 2002. Stamps owns the second (201) and third (198) best receiving yardage games in school history and the second (13) best reception game at UL Lafayette.

His three touchdown catches in the last game of his career tied a school record.

Stamps has the fourth and fifth best receiving yardage seasons and owns the fourth best reception season as a Cajun. He caught at least one pass in every college game, leaving the Cajuns with a receiving streak of 44 consecutive games, the fourth best streak in the nation, and longest in school history.

Damn, now the Saints are going to fall even farther down on my list.

[Zeebart21]

Geaux Freddie!!

I really wanted to root for Jack DelRio's Jags last year but when he cut Brad Franklin loose I cut DelRio loose. This may sound goofballish but I'm picking him up again.

[bigearl]

what does capped mean?

[Zeebart21]

when the gangsta's cap someone, it means they knock em' off. in essence Freddie was capped by the SanFranciscoins......

I was in a gangsta mood this morning.

Thank heavens I have moved on...

2004 Rookie Watch

Undrafted wide receiver Fred Stamps, who averaged 16 yards a catch at Louisiana-Lafayette last season, translated that big-play ability to the NFL right away Saturday night with a spectacular, diving reception for a touchdown over rookie cornerback Chris Thompson on a pass from David Garrard. The sliding grab drew a big cheer from the crowd and even applause from Garrard.

Fifth-round pick Chris Thompson didn't allow a touchdown pass during his entire Division I-AA college career ... but ... beaten on a long touchdown catch by fellow rookie Fred Stamps. LINK

Del Rio told reporters that rookie wide receiver Fred Stamps strained his shoulder while making a diving catch in Saturday night's practice, and rookie running back Rich Alexis is nursing a strained quad muscle. LINK
