I thought it may have been posted before so I did a search and didn't find it. Perhaps, I missed it.

Are you sure it was Hugh Smith and not someone else?

But he didn't need to yell about it .................  8)

[Papa_Bull]

It didn't show up because I only checked for 30 days and it was beyond that.

He didn't provide any "details" about the signing nor a link at the time.

If you notice, I even answered his questions about MoJo and Huey Whittaker there.

BTW, Whittaker is doing pretty good in NFL Europe. He had his first TD and is averaging over 15 yards/carry. Scott  McCready is leading NFL Europe once again in yards and receptions.
