Rangers9 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 You'd think that Philly would not want McCoy because of impending sexual harassment accusations from an ex girlfriend.

Just after 1am, Kelly traipsed into the home of a family he did not know, and sat down next to a woman who was holding her young child. The woman called for a man in the house, who came out and struck Kelly with an aluminum vacuum tube. Kelly returned to the party as it was dissipating and police arrived soon after to apprehend him. Kelly’s history of bizarre off-the-field behavior undoubtedly played a role in the Broncos’ decision. Just a couple of weeks ago, Kelly had a shot at overtaking Case Keenum as the Broncos’ starter.

C Mart Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 NFL fires down judge Hugo Cruz, effective immediately The NFL has taken the highly unusual step of firing down judge Hugo Cruz for performance reasons, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday. Cruz last worked in Week 6 and is no longer an NFL employee. Cruz, who joined the NFL in 2015, was responsible for one high-profile mistake this season. He missed an obvious false start by Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung on a scoring play in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. He did not work in Week 7. Otherwise, the details of the league's decision are unknown. An NFL spokesman declined to comment and representatives of the NFL Referees Association did not respond to a request for comment. The news was first reported by FootballZebras.com, which tracks college and pro football officiating trends. According to the website, the NFL has never fired an official in-season during the Super Bowl era because of performance. Sources reached by ESPN insisted there was no indication that Cruz committed an off-field mistake, nor that his firing was in any way based in discipline. The NFL grades officials on their performance on every play of every game. The league has occasionally suspended or re-assigned officials for mistakes of game administration, but it evaluates their careers a yearly basis by placing each in one of three tiers. Tier I is for the top performers, Tier II is for mid-level grades and Tier III is for the worst-performing officials in a given year. Historically, two consecutive seasons in the third tier makes an official vulnerable to termination. That system is designed to prevent instant evaluations based on a single mistake or a series of closely-timed mistakes. The NFL's quick decision on Cruz will send shock waves through the officiating ranks. Officials who once could be assured that their season would be evaluated through a larger lens will now be left to wonder if they could receive a career-ending phone call after one bad game. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25082276/nfl-fires-judge-hugo-cruz-effective-immediately JMO..Maybe NFL found some gambling concerns?

Would it surprise anyone if he somehow “missed” the call and it directly helped to influence something in Vegas? I’m still looking for a league-wide investigation which tracks and analyzes the effect that a wrong call or missed call at opportune moments has on each team.

C Mart Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Rams Waive OL Jamon Brown as Corresponding Roster Move for Fowler Myles Simmons RAMS INSIDER As a corresponding roster move after acquiring edge rusher Dante Fowler, the Rams have waived offensive lineman Jamon Brown. A third-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Brown played in 41 games — starting 30 — for the Rams over the last four seasons. Brown started all 16 games last year at right guard. He was expected to continue as Los Angeles’ starter at the position, but was suspended for the first two games of 2018. Austin Blythe took over at right guard to start Week 1, and has remained at the spot ever since. In waiving Brown, Los Angeles now has seven offensive lineman on the active roster in starters Andrew Whitworth, Rodger Saffold, John Sullivan, Blythe and Rob Havenstein, as well as rookie reserves Joe Noteboom and Brian Allen. Fowler joins the Rams from the Jaguars, where he was the No. 3 overall pick in 2015. Fowler has recorded 14.0 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, and 22 QB hits in his young career. In terms of compensation, Los Angeles will send a 2019 third-round pick and 2020 fifth-round pick to Jacksonville for Fowler. Should L.A. receive a third-round compensatory pick, that will go to Jacksonville to complete the trade in lieu of the team’s original third-round selection. If the Rams receive multiple 2019 third-round comp picks, the club will trade the compensatory selection that is closest to the beginning of the round.

His mass and athletic limitations are best-suited inside and his quickness off the snap could be an indicator that Brown's best football could be ahead of him.

C Mart Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Note: This article is from September 2017 Who is eligible to go through the waiver wire? When a team releases a player with less than four years of service, he is subject to the waiver wire process. Any player with less than four years of NFL experience is subject to the waiver process upon release from their former NFL team. What is the waiver wire? The NFL’s waiver wire is a system that allows teams to submit a claim for a player who was cut by another team. The waiver wire operates on a 24-hour timeframe during which teams can submit a claim following a player being cut. When a team releases a player with less than four years of service, they are subject to the waiver process. Any player with at four or more years of service who is cut is not subject to the waiver process. Players with four or more years of NFL experience immediately become free agents and can sign with any NFL team of their choosing (that’s also interested in them). However, during the NFL season from the NFL trading deadline through the end of the regular season, vested veterans are also subject to the waiver process. That means any veterans cut after Week 8, which is October 31, 2017, will go through waivers along with non-vested veterans. (A vested veteran is a player with four or more years of NFL experience.) Normally when a player is released, waivers run the next day. For roster cuts, all players run through waivers on Sunday, whether they were released on Friday or Saturday. Waiver Wire Order: During the offseason, the waiver wire order is the same as the draft order. After Week 3 of the regular season, the order turns to the standings around the league as the team with the worst record gets first priority on the waiver wire and the team with the best record gets last priority. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2017/9/2/16240382/nfl-roster-cuts-how-waiver-wire-works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 On the Jamon Brown front, part of the new CBA was proven performance escalators. "According to the NFL’s contractual bargaining agreement, players drafted in rounds three though seven are entitled to raises during the fourth year of their respective rookie contracts. The pay bumps are tied to playing time — a player must have played in 35% of his team’s offensive or defensive snaps in two of his first three seasons, or averaged 35% playing time cumulatively during that period. If one of these thresholds is met, the player’s salary is elevated to the level of that year’s lowest restricted free agent tender — that figure should be around $1.908MM in 2018. Players selected in the first or second round, undrafted free agents, and kickers/punters are ineligible for the proven performance escalator." https://www.profootballrumors.com/2018/01/2018-proven-performance-escalators Brown was only making about $680k before this year. The extra money and suspension headache may have cost him his job. It also indicates how poorly the Jets have drafted - the only player under Idzik or Maccagnan that has earned this was Brian WInters. Note that only Maccagnan's first year is at year 4. Presumably Jordan Jenkins will earn this next season. Good incentive to extend early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was, after missing time/letting his teammates down, it might not have been what the Rams wanted to keep around. This was his contract year, If they weren't planning on keeping him, the only reason to carry him would he a potential 2020 comp pick. They have Noteboom and Allen, their 3rd and 4th this year on the o-line. Their practice squad shows a couple of guys that played for them last year and the Saints 2018 5th rounder all on the o-line.
