Josh Norman - Daredevil?

What is going on? We got DBs jumping out of airplanes (suck it Brady with your cliff jump), TEs and OL hearting it up at a Taylor Swift concert, and Trai Turner hitting the shooting range with semi-automatic rifles?!?! I remember the days when the craziest or most jaw dropping thing a player did in the offseason was when Dangelo Williams would go 4-wheeling across muddy creeks to shot a turkey with his shotgun. Boy those were the days. Actually this gets me excited about the upcoming year. The guys seem relaxed and are having a little fun and not afraid to show the fans.

Glad this went down without any parachute failures...

Not saying he shouldn't have done it, but it got me thinking:  Do players have anything in their contracts that prohibit them from certain activities deemed dangerous?

​Yes since the new contract was signed Cam now must ride in one of these...

In Belgian soccer a few years ago, a tragic accident caused the death of a Belgian striker from the team I support. From what I heard (few years later), teams have divers insurances on their players. I guess this will be the same in Football.

Let's pray none of those need to be used.

Another Belgian player, Junior Malanda, died early last year in a car accident too. What a shame.

​Story hits close to home. We had a Charlotte Hornets player die in a car crash outside their arena because he and a teammate were racing each other. Caused a multi-car crash and one of the players was killed

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
    • I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
