Randy Phillips, Ryan Stamper Could Sign With Lions Next Week

Former Miami safety Randy Phillips and former Florida linebacker Ryan Stamper were supposed to sign with the Lions as undrafted free agents way back in April. Neither has officially joined the team yet because of injury issues, however. There was some hope that Phillips would be signed last month, but he only got a workout with the team rather than a contract.

Luckily for both players, it looks contracts may be on the table before training camp begins next week.

Tim Twentyman reports that Stamper is going to work out for the Lions and take a physical on Tuesday. Assuming the workout goes well and he passes the physical, you would think he will be offered a spot on the team.

The same goes for Phillips, as he is also going to take a physical next week. Considering the Lions already got a look at him last month, I'd imagine that he will join the team if he passes his physical. If he is healthy, then the Lions will finally get a chance to officially add him to the roster, just as they will with Stamper if things go well on Tuesday.

The players report to training camp a week from Friday, so the Lions will spend the next week finalizing their roster. There shouldn't be a ton of movement, but it seems like the Lions will add Phillips and Stamper, and then they obviously have to sign Ndamukong Suh and Jahvid Best as well.

Great news

Lets hope these are gems when they get healthy….. Maybe our weak spots are not as bad as we will think.

excited...

to see what these guys can do. At the very least we are getting good depth for cheap and possibly one or both will turn into starters later this season or next year.

We need not worry about these 2 guys

As much as we need to get Best and SUH’s contracts done and get the 2 studs into camp!

i saw a couple of miami games, and phillips looked pretty good. also curious to see what stamper does, since gun is so high on him.

I like Stamper

I remember watching him the BCS Championship game. He had lke 12 to 14 tackles. Seem to everywhere. I think he would have been drafted if it weren’t for his injury. Phillips dont know much about him. Looks like a physical safety though.

if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
