I thought that is what I said.
Clearly, the Vikings didn’t just release him First they tried to trade him. Finding no takers for that contract, they were forced to cut him. He will have interested parties if and when he lowers his salary expectations to his current NFL value, which is not 0. Adrian Peterson still thinks he can make a roster spot somewhere, and today in 2023 Dalvin >>>>> Adrian
I’ll need to see this to believe it 
Nice typo!
Yeah, he fixed it.
We still agree with the corrected statement.
Do note that CTE will affect the way a person think of himself, and of everything for that matter.
yup, my error. I meant to say 2023 Dalvin
Well, a 1000 yard season with 14 games was only 71 yards per game. That seemed to be a big whoop as I recall.
Yeah, but in reality, it was not a big whoop (like, say, RBI in baseball). Only to the innumerate who see four digits instead of three. I’d put a more impressive and comparative amount based on 100ypg (yes, another innumerate choice, but I don’t have data to determine a top 1% or so of production).
Yeah, I always thought OJ’s 2003 yard season (in 14 games) when 1000 seemed at the time to be a pretty big whoop.
I do agree averaging 100 yards per game should be considered a pretty good threshold, 75 might qualify.
But we are old guys who remember guys doing things in only 14 games, though now days it seems that if a skill player plays 14 games in a season that is pretty good.
Still good for #6 in the league
This should be interesting . . .
It doesn’t explain how someone can become eligible for the supplemental draft. And that is all I’m interested in.
I mean, this one player was not eligible in the Spring, but now he is. What changed?
Wiki to the rescue:
As of the 1990 season, only players who had graduated or exhausted their college eligibility were made available for the supplemental draft. Since 1993, only players who had planned to attend college but for various reasons could not, have been included in the supplemental draft.
The list of reasons for the more recent supplemental draft picks is pretty dicey. Most were declared ineligible for college, failed either academically or a drug test.
It’s not an actual draft. It’s an auction of at most a few players that are no longer welcome in a college program. Teams don’t draft, they bid by committing a future draft pick. The highest bidding teams gets the player and loses the “bidded” draft pick.
The Bears once picked up a RB from BYU for a late round pick after he was kicked out of BYU for impregnating his girlfriend (not a major offense in my book). It’s not always a drug problem or a criminal problem or an academic problem with the player, although those are common.
Sounds like it ended up being… minor.
Watched Real Sports. It had a segment on the SDSU punter who was released after he was accused of participating in a gang rape of a woman. Turns out the story was false. Here is an SI story on it.
So, no problem, a great rookie punter will get a job in the NFL, right? Um, no. Figured the Raiders would give him a shot. They’re always buying low. (By that, I mean he won’t cost so much because of his past.)
Said Bills general manager Brandon Beane at the time, “This is bigger than football. Let’s just step back and (let Araiza) go handle this. That’s what we thought was most important.”
Said the GM privately: “Let’s cut ties with this guy. We cannot afford the PR hit for keeping a guy on the roster with these accusations. If the charges are false, then the subsequent questions from the media related to cutting him will be much softer.”
Now I’m not saying the punter is completely innocent, as I am not God. Theoretically, he could have returned to the party later where the incident occurred.
I like your post, but I don’t really like it either.
I agree. Probably should have left it on the drawing board.
Perhaps we will see just how much of a goofball Rodgers is.
i can’t wait until his arrogant goofiness gets actually poked by the NY media (and not the GB collective fanboys). like, the NY writer who will persistently ask about his 9/11 truther open mind - that will play well.
to be fair, I also hope he has some success bc when he is dialed in it is sublime. but since it’s the jets and he is an arrogant goofball, imploding is also ok
In the “Oh, shit I picked the wrong major” files: The RB position. Even college kids are ruing their choice.
