OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

[nick.]

Why didn't Martavis get a 10 game suspension after getting 4 last season?

Josh Gordon went from 4 to 10 iirc

 

[macbk]

Respect? to Bryant for manning up and accepting the suspension I guess.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Shocked at BJ retiring. Probably shouldn't be though. A lot of these dudes know the consequences of playing football by now. Still wish Patrick Willis was playing but I get it.

 

[HNL HI]

He played the Pats AND went to the Ravens. Respect to him.

Nah, he played himself.

 

[polosanddunks]

Wow at Raji retiring
Jerry is literally riding Romo til the wheels fall off. It's like he never pictured life with him or something

Same way I feel. I respect Jerrys loyalty but this guy is starting to overdo it . Romo 36 now? He gonna keep saying "Romo is our guy" for the next 6 years :x

 

[polosanddunks]

good stuff with Weddle and his agent to finesse the system

I thought I read because he refused to take multiple tests, where as Gordon actually failed it.

Too smooth

i think it's a smoke screen. JJ is drafting a QB with the fourth pick in the draft.

Anymore info on why Raji retired? He visited with the Bucs and at least couple other teams so I wonder why he suddenly came to that decision.

That's how you supposed to play the game.

 

[IATT]

raji really screwed himself not taking that one contract extension he had on the table for multi years from the packers

 

[T0INE]

Packers gonna draft a RB now with Raji retiring?

The **** you asking us lowly peasants for? You're supposed to have these answers g.

 

[HNL HI]

all jokes aside, I respect him going for the money. always liked dude even tho he was on the chargers. If any mention of a team could make the Ravens come a little more out of pocket its the Patriots.

cant be mad at all at any of them dudes for going after the money.. hearing all the post career stuff they go through body wise or even worse head wise

revis has probably done it the best for the non-QBs

If I'm knocking years off my life or not being able to function many years earlier than normal... I am def going to get as much money as I can.

Incoming hot take.

Colts finishing third in the AFCS this year.

"I couldn't be more excited and pumped to be part of a championship organization who wanted me from Day One," Weddle said via text.

....

[the collector]

I see what you did there

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Yeah, Revis is the undisputed king of this leverage ****.  There's some silly fans that take issue with it, but best believe there ain't nothing wrong with being a mercenary.

To tie it up with today's events with Weddle...last year Revis got 5 year/$70M with $39M FULLY guaranteed. A huge player-friendly contract after extensive negotiations with the Jets. Woody Johnson wanted him back badly enough to pay whatever it took to make up for ignoring Revis after Tampa cut him.

Y'all remember how all the reports had him going to the Jets or Pats right down to the final hours? Even the Steelers were mentioned that day.

What the Jets didn't know is that Belichick had ceased exchanging contract offers with Revis about 24-36 hours before Revis *officially* agreed to a deal. Bill had already thanked him for services and wished him well, but Revis & his agents kept the mysterious illusion of a wide open negotiation through the NFL insiders posting updates and tweets. The Jets kept bidding against themselves until they got to a number that Revis and his people were satisfied with.

That's that All Pro first ballot HOF finessin'.

No other player in league history uses leverage to his advantage like the big homie has throughout his career.
