Wide receiver Martavis Bryant was one of the players cut by the Raiders on Saturday as his bid to make the team ended a little more than four months after Oakland sent a third-round pick to the Steelers to acquire him in a trade.
Bryant’s release came at the same time that word broke that he’s facing another suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. It also came after a summer that saw Bryant come in for criticism from Raiders head coach Jon Gruden on multiple occasions聽and General Manager Reggie McKenzie said that the total package wasn’t something the team could rely on this season.
“The bottom line: With the competition we had Youth JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , we feel like we got some good players, man,” McKenzie said, via ESPN.com. “And with Martavis, he missed some practice Carl Soderberg Jersey , a lot of practice time with minor ailments, and guys just came in and competed. And at the end of the day, the guys we rewarded were the guys who came to work every day and made plays. We just didn’t see it from him at the end of the day. It made it clear that he was not going to be one of the guys we were going to be able to count on.”
Bryant missed the entire 2016 season because of a suspension and could be looking at another ban of that length. If so, it would be a major blow to his chances of continuing his NFL career with any team in the future.
As noted on Thursday, the “dramatic turn” in the Colin Kaepernick collusion grievance promised by lawyer Mark Geragos presents its own drama. Either Geragos delivers or he doesn’t Authentic Artturi Lehkonen Jersey , and he’ll take the heat that goes along with writing a check that reality couldn’t honor if there is no dramatic turn.
So as we wait for the dramatic outcome to the promise of a dramatic turn, let’s spend some time wondering what it may be. Geragos suggested that someone would be dropping a dime, which presumably would cause the NFL to drop a deuce. (Geragos actually said someone will “dime out” the NFL, but if I didn’t phrase it as “dropping a dime” it would have looked odd to use “drop a deuce.” And I never turn down a chance to use “drop a deuce.” And now I’ve been able to use “drop a deuce” three times. Actually, four.)
So if someone is going to be dropping a dime Colton Sissons Jersey , it would have to be someone who knows what’s been going on. While discussing the Geragos claim during Thursday’s PFT Live, I wondered aloud whether the dime-dropper will be former NFL P.R. executive Joe Lockhart, who surely knows what was going regarding any potential coordination (collusion) between the league office and the teams in order to keep Kaepernick unemployed. With word emerging on Wednesday that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had testified that he was “proud” to see Lockhart gone, maybe Lockhart decided to take the gloves off.
Although it’s been impossible to track down any details in the day or so since Geragos said what he said, I get the feeling it’s not Lockhart. I get the feeling it could be someone in even better position to drop the kind of dime that would indeed result in Ivan Provorov Jersey , well, it would be immature to use it a fifth time.
