Also today, the Firecats announced they had been
assigned the rights to offensive linemen Tony Tella and
Chad Motte.
Tella, a 6’4” 300 pound lineman, played
college football at the University of Miami where he
started 23 games during his junior and senior
seasons. He was named an All Atlantic Coast
Conference Honorable Mention after his senior
season. In 2006, he was signed as an undrafted
free agent by the New York Giants. Tella has also
spent time with the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian
Football League.
“It is great to get a player of Tony’s
caliber,” Bouis said. “He is a former
Hurricane who spent some time with Giants. He
will help solidify our offensive line.”
