SayNoToDMC Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 On the Bengals list of reasons to cut Odell Thurman I'm sure him missing OTA's ranks slightly belove Drugs, alcohol and assault. It was just the last straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just the last straw. My guess it that they heard he was down there hanging with his homies and partying. Fed enough rope, he effectively hung himself.

It was just the last straw. That's the problem. OTAs are optional. You cannot be cut for missing them. I'm pretty sure it's against the CBA.

They're better off with this head case gone. I don't think you guys get it. It's not history. I think they opted to terminate it early. Early as in 2010, not yesterday. There is still an agreement in place and teams can't just start fining and cutting guys for missing optional practices. It's not the ****ing wild west all of a sudden. Do you think teams would still be dealing with an '09 salary cap if the CBA was dead? The Bengals have plenty of reasons to cut Thurman without him missing OTAs. I'm sure they'd be able to concoct a nice story if it comes down to an appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 There is still a CBA (with the current methods of determining a salary cap) in effect through 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
