Probably you can find someone desperate to unload them. My biggest gripe about season tickets was the worthless preseason games were a mandatory purchase and cost the same as regular season games.

Pats just released Domnique Easley (2014 first round pick). Sure, he finished the last two years on IR, but he was good when in there.

USA Today
Johnny Manziel’s assault case that stems from the allegations made by the former Cleveland Browns quarterback’s ex-girlfriend will be presented to a Texas grand jury later this week, USA TODAY Sports confirmed.
Dallas County District Attorney spokesperson Brittany Dunn said the grand jury would meet on Thursday to hear the case. A decision on whether Manziel will be charged with a Class A misdemeanor assault, which carries a maximum of a year in jail and a $4,000 fine, is expected to be announced within days.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
Ref development
The National Football League and Canadian Football League today announced the formation of the NFL-CFL Officiating Development Program.
Beginning this season, a group of NFL officials will have the opportunity to work as part of CFL crews during preseason and regular-season games in June and July, prior to starting their NFL season at the league's annual officiating clinic in late July.
Several CFL officials will then join the NFL's Officiating Development Program, which is designed to train top officials in all aspects of NFL officiating. Elements of the program include attending NFL minicamps and training camps, officiating preseason games, studying position-specific film with veteran NFL officials, reviewing mechanics and analyzing rules differences between the NFL and other leagues, including the CFL and college football.
...
The NFL officials working in the CFL will be primarily deep wing officials – side judges and field judges – to minimize the impact of some of the rules differences between the two leagues.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Norman signs with the Redskins. $75M contract $51.1M guaranteed, 5 years $15M a season.
You know, with these crazy draft trades and the Norman contract, I'm feeling much better about the Osweiler signing for Houston. I hate to think what it would have been like if they hadn't made a move.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
A questionable move in a sea of questionable moves doesn't stand out as much.
I'm pretty sure mortgaging their draft to get a top 10 pick and a chance at the third best quarterback would be worse.

I do wonder if the NFLPA appeals again. I think they would have more negotiating leverage if they don't have another SCOTUS ruling upholding arbitration. Brady clearly prepared for it with the contract restructuring, so no real pressure there.

What makes it hard here is that they aren't entitled to an appeal. They can appeal either to the 2nd Circuit en banc, or they can appeal to the Supremes. Both bodies can decline.stessier wrote:I do wonder if the NFLPA appeals again. I think they would have more negotiating leverage if they don't have another SCOTUS ruling upholding arbitration.

I think that appealing to the US Supreme Court isn't happening. I cannot imagine the Court clogging their halls with this nonsense. It's possible that the full 2nd Circuit would hear the appeal, given that the Chief Justice of the circuit was the "1" in the 2-1 decision, but I don't know how that works fully.

Wrong. The NFLPA's main goal is to protect the players from losing any money. 4 games sets a precedent they don't want in that Brady would lose dollars and any future player accused will as well. As such, expect the PA to come out fully in support of Brady.LordMortis wrote:The NFLPA have many of the the same goals as the NFL.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
Or "we won't even entertain the idea of the possibility of cheating by our most popular asset until there is no real accountability." I don't that attitude is good for the league. Generally (though maybe not for the NFL) that's the sort of thing that is not good for product or brand, which then means you don't spend as much money on your assets.Jeff V wrote:Their message being, "cheaters should never be held accountable for their actions."
I would like to think that people would turn their backs on the NFL on these things (and more importantly on its kicking and screaming against frowning on the criminal behavior of players) but when I look for evidence, history shows me I'm wrong, I guess.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
No way they would get en banc review. Maybe if this was the 1st Circuit (which covers Massachusetts) but the 2nd Circuit luuuuuuuuuvs arbitration and wants to cede as much authority as possible to arbitrators to shrink the number of cases hitting the federal dockets. That's why the district court's original ruling was such a head scratcher; it invited participants in arbitration to take a second shot in federal court, something the 2nd Circuit has said over and over again is no bueno. The Supremes won't touch this, even if if hearing the case would save the lives of 10 babies.RunningMn9 wrote:What makes it hard here is that they aren't entitled to an appeal.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
Manziel indicted. No word on ham sandwich co-conspirator.
A Texas grand jury has indicted free agent quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel on an assault charge, according to Dallas County court records.
Manziel's former girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, accused the former NFL quarterback of restraining, hitting and threatening her during an alleged assault on January 30. She says in an affidavit that Manziel grabbed her by the hair and hit her, causing her to lose her hearing in one ear.
Manziel, 23, has denied hitting Crowley.
The indictment accuses Manziel of "intentionally and knowingly and recklessly (causing) bodily injury to" Crowley.
The NFL also is investigating the incident. He could face a league-imposed suspension if he is found to have violated the personal conduct policy.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
And its Draft Day!
This is going to be an interesting draft. There is a lot of depth in the first round and teams are going to have a shot at a very good player where ever they pick in the first round. A lot of pundits are saying that defensive players are especially well represented and high quality D players will be available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds as well.
Being a Lions fan I am very interested in how Quinn is going to draft. I figure unless someone like Conklin drops to them they are almost a lock to draft a defensive lineman with their first pick. They have shown some interest in Reggie Ragland the LB from Bama, but I think hes probably a fall back pick if their D line plans fall through. My guess is that they take Shaq Lawson, DE from Clemson.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
Weather is nasty in Draft Town. Low 40s by the lake with on and off rain. Doesnt look like much relief for the weekend. Was fun while it lasted but it'll move to Vegas or somewhere.
Still, might go down there to heckle Goodell or something.

Don't you need a new WR now?rshetts2 wrote: Being a Lions fan I am very interested in how Quinn is going to draft.

The draft is something that 10 years from now I say, "oh, that's where that guy came from. Pretty good pick."
As a Bears fan, those words are hardly ever uttered.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Season
Nope we are transitioning to the patented New England Gay offense. You know, the one where you pound the tight end until he breaks.Don't you need a new WR now?![]()

Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?
