hardly knew ya

QuoteThe 49ers claimed and were awarded rookie FS Jeremy Thornburg off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles. To make room on the 53-man roster, the 49ers waived first-year CB B.J. Tucker. Tucker was signed from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Saturday and played in the game against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Thornburg (6-0, 190) was originally signed by Philadelphia as a rookie free agent out of Northern Arizona on April 29, 2005. Thornburg made the Eagles 53-man roster out of training camp but was inactive for four games while a member of the Eagles.

When players are claimed, do they have a choice whether or not they go to the team?

Heh...he went to one of the two teams who I thought would want him...SF or TEN.

Well, this helps Andy Reid out. Now he won't be tempted to sign him back to the 53.
