[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 494385, member: 5830"] It's been a year or two, but I have read at least one article that discussed the higher number of UDFAs that have made the GB versus other teams. When you talk to the players, they all realize that as a UDFA they are paid camp bodies with no expectation by their teams to succeed. It's rare that they can crack the roster. Part of it is pride, because then the GM needs to release a player to make room for the UDFA. That player will likely have come from either the draft, trade, or free agency market. Some GMs look at it as a bad reflection on themselves that they previously drafted/signed the wrong guy. I've seen a few training camp shows that discuss the extremely low chances for UDFAs. That said, the undrafted route is most typical for kickers so it's a different discussion regarding acquiring players for that position through the undrafted free agent market. [/QUOTE]
