This is likely one of those: "we are releasing you for a few weeks, go on vaccation and leave your phone at home:, type moves. They will have to release a player when Rice gets back and then again when the suspension is up for the safety, and maybe again if Cody comes back..... This was they do not have to guarantee his contract for the year.

Josh Brent got 10 games, granted, some one died when he crashed, but owners, according to the league, are held to higher standards.... meh

For amphetamines,,,,,,, FYI fantasy owners.....

I hope it works out for him. The Boys are one of the few teams that run a 4-3 and are in serious need of depth. If he can't make it there, he can't make it anywhere. People are up in arms over the fact he has not been signed yet, blaming it on his sexual orientation, yet they fail to see that only 15 or so teams run a 4-3, only a hndful of those have a need for a defensive end, and he is only a fit for that type of defense.

I'll take the Bengals, give the points for 50 large, Marv. This may be close for 10 minutes, but not for long.... Dalton is an excellant regular seson quarterback and they are very healthy on offense.

Leave it to crav, Goody went easy on him.......... why am I not shocked........... yet they claim this ws the max they could give him.......

I think a year it almost has to be, he is an owner and is expected to set a higher standard. If the NBA had something like this, Sterling would have been out along time ago for real issues, not words.......

Were they? Wow, another milestone crossed off. I know that team also did something no other team had done. Gone to and won a Super Bowl when its starters missed a combined 56 or more due to injury. If memory serves, their starters missed close to 70 combined.

Just food for thought. No team in NFl history, has won the Super Bowl with a top 10 offense & top 10 defense. At least that was correct the last time I checked a few years ago.....

Agreed! The offensive line is unproven and lacks depth. This affects both the running & passing game. The linebacking core is young, not strong at the point of attack, prone to freelancing = big plays in the running game. The secondary is the biggest question mark and not just the play of the corners. The safeties are unproven, young, and both like to break coverage, are easily fooled by the quarterback & route combinations. = big pass plays, lots of points. Frankly, I will just sit back and enjoy the season, good or bad, just as I did two years ago when they surprised the daylights out of me by winning it all....

True my friend and yes, I knew what you meant and agree, not good when your players are involved, that is a lot of time spent being deposed, away from football for several. I think the niners are going to be looking up this year.....

Max, they signed a player they new would be suspended for 6 games with a "problem", another who is on his 3rd team in a year. Yep, I would say they are desperate.

Keep in mind Dc, most states now have an arrest first policy when an accusation of domestic violence against a woman is brought to their attention. Even when the woman changes her mind on the scene. So this could be more of nothing, not saying it is, but could be.... So if the prosecutors decide to go through with this, what is Ray suppose to do if he truly is innocent? Plead it out, let it drag out, call on his constutional rights to a fair & SPEEDY trial?

Where did I see it? Come on Papa, you know how they think, they have been talking about this for years. We will have to agree to disagree on this, if they sign him, great, if not, even better as i won't have to dodge news crews on my trek's around here....

He is not worth the spot for the Ravens on the ps. They prefer multitalented players who can play special teams, or have a unique skill set. Neither of which, no matter how much coaching, will Sams have. One can only increase speed so much, he has short arms, is not athletic to being able to cover is out, and again, they have a guy on the ps just like him, with a little more skill, albeit not much more, in tackling in open space.

From NFL dot com... The dredded P word, very raw....

They could not keep Holmes, the salary cap would not allow it. They didn't tag him out of respet for him. As I recall, they ran the ball pretty well, the reason they didn't repeat was because of the pouting done by the players over the Dilfer release and a piss poor offensive line/

Yes since Simon, as I said, is the same player basically, who is already on their practice squad. So why sign another player to the ps, with the same skill set, but a boat load of baggage that comes with him, not his fault, obviously.

He is a one dimesnional player, why would the Ravens want him? They were interested in him as an undrafted player, with plans to put him on the ps, but after seeing him in pre season, it is clear, he can't even play special teams, too slow, not a good tackler in open space. They have that in Simon, identical players..... I'm glad they kept Hurst and Urban around, two very good, potentially, players.

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/49ers-de-ray-mcdonald-arrested-on-domestic-violence-charges-083114 Not a very good offseason for either Harbs coaches, numerous off the field issues for both teams, and suspensions to go around..... Get to it Goody.... A felony charge, I wonder wht he is accused of doing, not that fox would do their do diligence by reporting the actual charges.....

well, according to ESPN, per a source, breaking news, he will not be claimed off waivers and free to be the first openly gay black man to sign on some one's practice squad. Then there is the first openly gay blackman to be on an NFL roster. Next, the first openly gay white man, then the openly gay hispanic man, then islander, then, then, then......

Football expanding to Europe will be the death of the game.

niners lb Ray Mcdonald the first under the new policy to get accused of domestic violence........ Goody to the rescue.....

Bothers is a bit strong, but yes, this was much a do about nothing since he as a 7th round pick. Now, a higher pick? Say 3rd or better I could understand, but this the first to do what ever is getting old. Hasn't man already done everything first? Why seperate by skin color or sexual orientation? Maybe we should find out who was the first bald man to get drafted, the first one to wear glasses or go comando.......
