Too bad it wasn't to lose. Imagine him getting a drink on the sideline and seeing his Defense get a pick 6?

It's  not really ironic. Every sports league promotes betting. They also make it very clear that players are not allowed to bet on games for obvious reasons.

How do players not at least have their entourage do the betting for them? 

[GreenReaper]

That's it for me...

Try and take two in the draft among...

Wilson-London-Jameson Williams-Christian Watson-George Pickens-Kevin Austin Jr.-Alec Pierce...por favor.

Also take two TE's...

McBride-Ruckert-Likely-Wydermyer-Ferguson-Greg Dulcich-Charlie Kolar.

Again...por favor...for ZW's sake.

Do it JD!

Leave ya to wonder how someone that stupid can memorize a playbook.  He one of them Go Route Only guys like Mike Wallace?

Honestly, some people are just savants and can be really good at their specific talents and certain traits above what most are capable of. 

Then everywhere else in their life, they just suck at it and make the worst choices at the dumbest/worst times that can be shocking. I've seen it at multiple places I've worked at.

Meanwhile Davante Adams watches his potential FA market value continue to spike as the Packers try to get him to accept a home town discount.

Do you really need an answer to this?

Wait a minute.  I was told Joe Douglas should have traded picks and done anything to get this guy in here.

Of course he did.  Thats his job.  He was never going to trade anything of significance for him.  A 6th or 7th maybe.

You dont trade anything for players who quit on the team mid season.

He should have just asked a masseuse for a little illegal touching instead. Or like 20 of them.

When I as younger I liked the Packers, now I hate them due to their QB.  I hope they get nothing but grief.

[IndianaJet]

These guys are just pure idiots.  Risking millions of dollars in contract money to place, what at least to them, would be small time bets.

And who wants to trade for Watson?  Or who thinks the Jets should have drafted Watson?  Same situation upcoming, different reason, except the time frame is delayed. 

[TuscanyTile2]

So was this related to why he sat out last year?

That discount is called the franchise tag.  

[munchmemory]

Just read about this.  Ridley?  What a complete effing moron.  Good luck playing another down in the NFL.  Dunce.   Hope it was worth it.

No he doesn't.  Godwin will likely be franchised. So will Adams.  Robinson and Cooper will be the WR free agent prizes with multiple teams fighting for these two players.   Neither are going to be worth what the market will demand.  I'd rather draft a receiver.  Cooper is always banged up and he disappears in big games.  

Moore is going to be a star. Davis is a good WR as well.  Douglas is better off spending money elsewhere.

Robinson I suspect will be more boar anchor than Prize. I am not sinking money into a declining 29 year old WR. Cooper is like the 32nd #1 WR in football. Pass on him as well.

I've read they're trying to negotiate a long term deal w/him. Not much time left on the franchise tag clock.

[doitny]

at least we dont have to hear about trading for him anymore.

I heard that Ridley runs a 3.99 in the 40

[TuscanyTile2]

I bet we don't trade for him

[genot]

He might have trouble establishing himself with another team. I imagine most everybody in the league wouldn't  want someone who threw everybody under the bus, for personal profit. Not to mention,  eing a complete bonehead

This board/NYJ fans are hilarious. JD aint getting cooper, he aint signing any of these fancy big named players. You guys NEVER learn.

My serious take on this matter is that now that gambling is legal nearly everywhere and basicallly at the forefront of sports media etc etc, this won’t be the last time we ever hear about this.  I’m just waiting for an official to get caught.

If (rather, when) an official gets caught, we're not going to ever know about it.
