Question about Alexander


Jmac

Recommended Posts

Let me get this straight. He was on IR for the 2015 season (also suspended for third time). They cannot cut him while on IR, but must wait untill he is off IR. They also cannot offer an injury settlement whIle on IR. Does that suspension start whIle on IR or after. D.G won't take him back and he should not. Funny thing is, on Twitter he talks like every thing is just fine. Talk about living in fantasy land.

He's a restricted free agent. Wouldn't be surprised if we tender him at the lowest amount since it won't affect us at all other than not letting another team get him. Since he's suspended the entire year he wouldn't be getting paid and wouldn't count towards the 53 man roster. May not give him another shot but really no reason not to tender him and let him sit on our suspended list the entire year.

Under that scenario, what would happen when his suspension ends in late November?

Good way to look at that.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
