I usually refer to www.kffl.com as one of my fantasy football sources, and I stumbled upon a number of "tryouts" that our Dallas Cowboys have held for various players released by other teams recently.

I've copied and pasted the link and the details of possible interest to us below -- including the news that Akin's bro Remi got released in the Dirty South.
