Isn't this similar to what Marshawn Lynch did before heading over to Oakland?

This is me personally but I consider it different because the Seahawks still owned his contract and got something in a trade. Incognito tried to sneak out of his deal and go somewhere else. I think I would feel the same way even if it wasn't a piece of shit doing it

[livid]

The Bills would still own his contract too. If he retired and changed his mind later, they will still own his rights so it would still be up to them to terminate the contract or not. 

[The Buscher]

Yeah, when a player retires with time left under contract the contract is frozen and the team retains their rights forever.

When Tiki Barber wanted to make a comeback in 2011, four seasons removed from retirement, the Giants still had to formally release him from his old deal.

So, the NFL reddit did a live, seven-round mock draft. Not the most realistic thing in the world but certainly an interesting exercise.

Same with Favre and his one year stint with the Jets.  He only did that because the Packers wouldn't trade him to the Vikings

Does that make it better at all though? I mean, Incognito can really say anything he wants if he doesn't actually follow through with anything related to retirement, his status stays the same and if the guy doesn't want to play there then he doesn't want to play there. If I'm the Bills, I'd rather know now than in July.

I mean, the guy is a piece of shit but for reasons other than waffling for a few days on whether or not he wants to retire.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a shit move either way. You're getting paid millions to play a game. If you want out of your contract to go somewhere else, there's other ways to do it.

He's a ginormous twat, but he was a good lineman. Can't fault munky for being frustrated with a hole in his O-line now. 

Better to have a hole in your o-line than to have that a-hole in your o-line.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Daryl Worley was arrested Sunday morning after he was allegedly found passed out inside a vehicle blocking a highway, according to NFL Network.

The Eagles confirmed Worley's arrest and later Sunday announced that they had released Worley.

According to NFL Network, Worley was tased during the 6 a.m. arrest after he allegedly became combative toward police. A gun was found at the scene, according to the report, which added that the incident occurred near the Eagles' team facility.

Worley was traded to the Eagles by the Panthers in March in a deal that sent wide receiver Torrey Smith to Carolina.

Denver are releasing CJ Anderson.

James Harrison has announced his retirement.

The Seattle Seahawks are adding another backup quarterback not named Colin Kaepernick. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports Seattle will re-sign Austin Davis, according to a source informed of the situation. The QB will get a veteran minimum deal, per Garafolo. Garafolo was told signing Davis won't end the team's talks with Kaepernick.

"Hey Colin, still planning on kneeling?"

"Yep"

2 weeks later

"So Colin, about the kneeling."

"Still doin' it."

2 weeks later

"Hey Col-"

"Not gonna stop"

Malik McDowell has been released by the Seahawks. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Seattle will release last year's second-round defensive tackle in the near future, according to a source. Dude never even played a snap for them.

NFL Network is airing a marathon of past drafts back-to-back this Saturday, from 2011-2017. 

 

2013 was so shit that it's been left out of the schedule completely  

[Pooker]

Why would anybody want to go back and rewatch a draft?

[The Buscher]

Every time I've turned on NFL Network over the past few days, they're talking about Dez Bryant.  They were even showing a Broncos/Cowboys game that was labeled "DEZ BRYANT CLASSICS".  You'd think he died ffs.

Filler.

[livid]

I wouldn't mind re-watching the 2007 draft because it's headlined by one of the biggest busts in NFL history but also has 4 definite HOFers and a couple more you could make an argument for.

Zak DeOssie:  first ever long snapper in the HOF! 

2007 also featured one of my favorite "fans angry over draft pick" reactions.
