Yeah, I assumed this was coming the day before our playoff game.At least those fucks didn't wait until next week to do it while we were actually preparing for a game.
It sucks but it's not a huge immediate concern as I'm not even sure he would be active in the playoffs assuming Lawrence can play.
Obviously it sucks for next year but I had already written the guy off in many regards to begin with.
Re-sign McClain and roll with these 7 as your base going into the draft/free agency: Irving/McClain/Collins/Lawrence/Mayowa/Thornton/T.Crawford
Add in at least one premium pick on the DL, maybe re-sign J. Crawford depending on his cost, see if Tapper can give us anything and we should be fine.
Brutal. I could feel this one coming though as soon as they made it clear it was not a 'court of law'.
This was his appeal.Yeah, I assumed this was coming the day before our playoff game.
So how exactly does a year suspension work? Does he get credit for the playoff games he is missing this season? Or does he just automatically have to sit out all of next year? Playoffs included? He should definitely appeal this decision.
Yeah. Unless Jerry can get Pot off the targeted list in the off season.This was his appeal.
He's going to basically be like Josh Gordon. Gone a whole year.
I don't see any reason why we would bother to even think about him coming back. Move on. We fucked up taking him. That's it.
I think it's exactly just that... he will be eligible to play again 1/6/2017. The thing I don't like is the "at least" part? What does that mean? It's a year unless he has further violations? Or is he gone a year minimum and he is then eligible to return at the commissioners discretion?Yeah, I assumed this was coming the day before our playoff game.

Well, since he can already start playing again tomorrow, this is great news!I think it's exactly just that... he will be eligible to play again 1/6/2017.

Well his rookie contract is mostly fucked, but I don't think his career is over by a long shot.Welp, his career is essentially over.
It is over, at least it should be with us.Well his rookie contract is mostly fucked, but I don't think his career is over by a long shot.
Why is his career over? Ricky Williams was in the same spot and he came back to have a respectable finish to his career.Welp, his career is essentially over.
Well, he's still under contract with us in his 4th year, so I wouldn't say "never" yet.It is over, at least it should be with us.
Three years and he would have logged little action and proved that he is unreliable.
Ricky Williams had put up MVP numbers two years prior to his suspension. Gregory has 1 career sack.Why is his career over? Ricky Williams was in the same spot and he came back to have a respectable finish to his career.
Or Josh Brent. Who we'd still probably have on the roster if he hadn't retired again.Well, he's still under contract with us in his 4th year, so I wouldn't say "never" yet.
Just the fact that they tried so hard to get him on the field this year shows the team's belief in him, IMO. Compare with McClain, whom they've clearly given up on.
Well he can appeal this to the courts. At least that was my point.This was his appeal.

I'm sure we will keep him around. Not really a reason not to. He won't be taking up a roster space on suspension. And we can always hope the NFL amends their retarded policy on marijuana.Well, he's still under contract with us in his 4th year, so I wouldn't say "never" yet.

Two different situations given Williams was a multi ear pro with a pro-bowl season to his credit and Gregory is just starting out.Ricky Williams had put up MVP numbers two years prior to his suspension. Gregory has 1 career sack.
You're missing my point... just because he does not play for a year, it does not mean he cannot still have a highly productive finish to his career. All I know is and I continually hear people talk about his natural abilities (which makes the situation that much more frustrating), and how hard he has been working towards getting on the field again.Ricky Williams had put up MVP numbers two years prior to his suspension. Gregory has 1 career sack.
