Not for blood clots. This isn't a routine injury.
But is there really an NFL team that wouldn't pay a guy's salary when the guy had blood clot issues? I don't know just seems like an obvious thing to me. But these owners can be cheap when they want to be.

I think the point of the report is to show the asshole owners that are still out there that it’s not hard to do the right thing. I’m also not naïve to suspect this is also Kraft’s way to get a smidge of positive PR.

Bottom line is that his contract is being honored and the team is behind him as he recovers from a scary situation.

I knew he rubbed me the wrong way when I watched his draft video on YouTube and they opened his garage, and he had a huge ass dog in the smallest cage where he couldn't turn around and it was clear he was standing in his own pee. They didn't even care.

Just not a good look all around

Hey you football lovers - given the overwhelming number of people who will take Cincy in week 1 survivor pools, any chance the pats upset here? I’m considering taking the Saints

Ideally they finish 4-13 competitive and Brissett plays well and deep into season

Big time draft loaded with QB’s who could get the Patriots a haul if in top 3

They may just want to stick and pick for a T

Give this team healthy Joe Tuhney at LG, vintage Brady and Dante Scarnecchia they win double digits easy

Can’t wait to hear the whining at espn when Rodgers hurt again

I'm not "Ideal" is the correct adjective to describe a 4-13 season. Yeah, they'd get another high draft pick out of it, but they need some sort of positive momentum heading into the off-season to re-establish themselves as a free agency destination.

We'll see about the QBs in this draft. I'm kind of skeptical in regards to a lot of them.

I'll say this... I think there's next to no chance that the Patriots will pick in the Top 5 next April. If they're in that position, I think there's nearly a 100% chance they'll trade the pick.

Ideal is not having the Drake in there early and ruined like so many Jets QB

Not seeing Maye get physically and mentally beaten down is my priority

I'd say the odds of having a top 5 pick are better then 50/50. If its 1 or 2 I think it does get traded. If its 3 or later they may take the top LT or WR depending on the trade offers. The more elite qbs the more likely a team is willing to overpay for the pick.

Yuck

It is unacceptable that we have so much cap space and did not address the O'line issue back when free agency started.
At the very least, we should have signed 2 viable starters on the O'line that were an upgrade over last year.

Cincy is a lock pick.

If you wanna live a little more dangerously in Week 1, I like the Saints and the Bears as well....
