Tony Tella Signs With The Florida Firecats

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.”
