Jlash Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Doug Baldwin is also a FA who hasn't played in a game since 12/30/18 so he's literally cuttable in 2 weeks and here we are going in circles about the same outlying odd issue when in 2 weeks it doesn't matter. edit: Apologies, he played in a playoff game on 1/5 so in less than a month he's cuttable. Good thing nothing matters roster wise until then. Count him as good as gone WW. Edited December 17, 2019 by Jlash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep saying the same thing to each other. As usual, I don't know what else to tell you. Maybe someone else can explain it better than I can. No I hear what you're saying and again I'm just having an open dialog I'm not arguing and I'm fine with what you're saying just having an open dialogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a FA who hasn't played in a year as of 1/5 so he should be eligible for the 1 year FA cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players loopholing IRL is something we have to deal with because it is usually vague and gray so they can get the monies. Filing retirement papers is the level needed here in BDL land.

No I don't think so, the season will be over by then. I'd do any double downs you can before the last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair but can we edit the rules to state that VERY specifically? Because tbh, the rules are a bit misleading in terms of 'filing because the statement in the rules contradicts that.

Specifically the fact that you guys are saying that they have to file for retirement which I respect but the last line of that rule says that them filing for retirement is not Sufficient evidence. It's kind of contradictory to say that it has to come from a reputable source and not consider the player a reputable source also imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say "simply filing for retirement" is not enough. Not sure why that's worded that way, even though it doesn't apply here, because he never filed.

Right that's the only issue I really have because it says reputable source and I would argue that the player is one but it also says filing his not enough those 2 statements contradict each other. Filing doesnt apply here except that the two statements in the same sentence are contradictory. That's where my issue lies, that's why I opened a dialogue about it. I'm fine with the rule and not trying to start any drama about it. Simply pointing out a contradiction that is somewhat confusing Edited December 17, 2019 by wwhickok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I know he's my guy and whatever but my god Thomas is truly special to watch. If Brees was 5 years younger, this would be our generation's Montana to Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like the most polished QB in the league right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 That thumb injury might actually be a blessing in disguise. It'll keep his arm fresh for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
