My final thoughts:
I mean, this is a good signing for the Generals. Losing Deandre Johnson is a huge loss for that team, I wish nothing but the best for him. This signing is going to be good for the future plans of this team. Eric Barriere really never got the chance to show up in Michigan this will give him the chance to prove himself.
