4 New Signings

The Skins have just finished signing four new players for the season. Three of them are veterans from around the league including: tight end Billy Baber, wide receiver Jimmy Farris, and running back Brock Forsey. The fourth is an undrafted rookie quarterback Bryson Spinner. Although Barber is coming in as a tight end, Gibbs says that he’ll be playing at the half back position. The 5-11 208 pound running back Forsey is coming to us from the Miami Dolphins, where in 18 games and 2 starts, he put up 244 rushing yards on 69 carries for 2 touchdowns. Gibbs says he likes his potential and mentioned his value to us on special teams. Wide receiver Farris has kind of bounced around the league, being signed by the 49ers, the Patriots, and the Falcons since he was drafted in 2001. It’s also likely that Farris will be a special teams threat for us this year. The young quarter back Spinner played for UVA for a little while and then transferred to Richmond. There he put up the 10th best recorded numbers in a season for a quarter back. Gibbs seems impressed with his ability overall and looks forward to working with him.
