NFL Random Thought of the Day

Let’s hope they get desperate like OB was for Tunsil.

Give me two firsts for Cooks and sold!

However, OB was a special type of GM you don’t come across often.

They rolled us over when Rodgers demanded Cobb. Probably the only reason they're looking our way.
 
Matt Ryan’s contract is the main reason he won’t play for the Colts again this year
Posted by Mike Florio on October 25, 2022, 10:37 AM EDT

Sam Ehlinger officially becomes the starting quarterback of the Colts. If he fails or gets injured, Nick Foles will take over. And if Foles gets injured, the quarterback will be anyone but Matt Ryan.

Ryan is done. He’s out. He won’t play again, for reasons rooted in his contract. Put simply, once the team decided (and it was clear from coach Frank Reich’s comments that owner Jim Irsay made the decision) that Ryan won’t be the quarterback in 2023, it was time to pull the plug on 2022.

Ryan’s contract already pays him $12 million in base salary next year, fully guaranteed. But millions more would become fully guaranteed if Ryan suffers an injury that keeps him from passing a physical by the third day of the 2023 league year in March, when the payments that are currently guaranteed for injury become fully guaranteed.

Specifically, Ryan has $7.205 million in additional 2023 salary guaranteed for injury, and a 2023 roster bonus of $10 million, which is also guaranteed for injury. That’s $17.205 million that the Colts would potentially owe Ryan (in addition to the $12 million) if he emerges from the 2022 season with an injury that prevents him from passing a physical by the middle of March.

That’s why Ryan won’t be playing again for the Colts in 2022. He could, in theory, be traded before next Tuesday. His performances through seven weeks of the current season, however, will surely cause any/every team to shy away from Ryan and his contract, regardless of whether a starter suffers a season-ending injury this weekend.

The question then becomes whether the Colts would cut Ryan after the trade deadline. He may ask to be released. The Colts may wait for the right moment to dump him, thinking that a potential quarterback-needy team may claim his contract on waivers.

Again, it’s unlikely. He is, by all appearances, done. No every quarterback will have his arm beyond his fortieth birthday. For the 37-year-old Ryan, too many of his throws now look like what John Madden used to call the last shot out of a Roman candle.

Ryan has had a great career. He was an MVP. He did everything in his power to win a Super Bowl. He recently passed Dan Marino to become No. 7 on the all-time passing yardage list.

Matt Ryan has a solid case for Canton. At this point, however, continuing to play could eventually hurt his cause. And so, as it was when the Vikings benched Donovan McNabb for Christian Ponder in 2011 and later released McNabb, it may simply be over for Ryan.

Even if it is, he’ll still make $12 million next year to not play pro football. The Colts, at this point, are simply hoping to be sure he doesn’t get $17.205 million more.

Its a dirty world in the nfl. When the bean counters come in and start using those charts, players get sat down for money reason.

Yeah, he's much better than any other rb on this roster not named Pierce. 1k as a rookie, 4.6 per carry last season. I mean furing free agency, I thought Foreman made alot of sense. Soon as CMC was traded, Foreman runs for 100. That would've been a nice combo with Pierce and his deal is the same as Dare.

Gotta take carries off of Pierce. I'm not sure Dare is that guy. But I'm ok with using him anyways to save Pierce.
 
Kansas City Chief’s Frank Clark Suspended Two Games Following Gun Possession Charges

Kansas City defensive end Frank Clark will face a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, according to NFL.com.

Clark’s suspension follows his no contest plea in September to two counts of misdemeanor possession of an assault weapon.

Clark was given one year of probation and community service as part of his court plea. Clark will be required to show proof that he has completed his sentence upon returning to court in 2023.

Clark’s sentence follows various incidents that took place in 2021. The first occurred in March, when police initiated a traffic stop of a car Clark was in because it did not have a front license plate. The defensive end was arrested after police said they found two loaded firearms in the car.

The second arrest occurred in June of 2021. Police arrested the 29-year-old after he was pulled over for a code violation, and they say they discovered an uzi firearm sticking out of an open duffle bag in his Lamborghini SUV.

Clark’s legal team claimed the guns did not belong to Clark but rather a member of his security team.

Clark’s legal troubles didn’t just begin after entering the NFL. The defensive end’s troubles with the law extend further back, all the way into his college days.

In 2014, Clark was reportedly arrested for alleged domestic battery. His time with the Michigan Wolverines came to an abrupt end as a result of that arrest. Clark also pled guilty to not only a felony home invasion charge but also a charge of disorderly conduct, per Jack Baer of Yahoo Sports. Clark is a former 2015 second-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks and spent four seasons with the team. The eight-year veteran is now entering his fourth-year with the Kansas City Chiefs. He has three sacks this season in seven games.

Is there anyway he would fetch a second round pick ? Nah I doubt it.

But he can rush the passer.

He should've stuck his d!ck in a womans hand if he wanted a lighter sentence.

And the Seahawks are currently first in the NFC West…. what a strange turn of events.

Apparently talent on a team is more important than letting a star QB cook. Hopefully Cal/Caserio take note of what the Seahawks are doing before considering drafting a QB in the next draft. Whoops I mentioned the draft. Post #2 that should be deleted.
 
Russell Wilson practiced today in London, and is scheduled to start Sunday. He suffered a grade II hamstring tear in week 6. Good luck with trying to escape the pocket if Hackett feels threatened enough (and stupid enough) to put Wilson in.
