Forge Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Was just answering another question in the NFL gen forum, and do you guys realize that from the 2012 - 2014 nfl drafts, we basically had two guys play out more than his rookie contract (Tank & Dial, both of whom stayed one extra year)? How brutal is that? Now, we obviously gave Vance the extension, but traded him before he played even a down under the new deal. Reid and Ward both played out their option years. But that's it so far as I can tell. With Ward unlikely to be back, that means we had a whopping 4 guys play one more year than on their rookie contract (and that's only if you don't consider the option year as part of the initial rookie contracts for first rounders), otherwise its only 2. We had 30 draft picks over that 3 year period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenK Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Looks like Breida will be out against the Broncos with an aggravated ankle injury. Not like I had us pegged to win that game anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shown me all I need to see, and needs to rest up for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataal Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 He's claiming he's been taking the same supplements he has always taken with no bad test results. He's having them tested to find out what was in them and use that for a possible lawsuit to prevent others in the future from getting suspensions. Apparently, this isn't his first time testing dirty. Which is why the suspension is so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hold up, Nzeocha may make the Pro Bowl??? And they say this team lacks talent….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustrianNiner Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 If Nzeocha actually makes it it's all the Germans fault. German TV station that shows the NFL encouraged it's fans to vote for him, looks like they did pretty well haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
