Wow . I didn’t know a rule like that existed. I doubt he will get release but this is interesting 

[Squirrel]

See a draft pick being taken away.

Will never get released as "punishment", nor should he be for a silly technicality of a rule.

 

Would be fun watching Cleveland claim him, though.

A rule is a rule.  What good is it if it’s not enforced?  And what good is it if it’s enforced for some but not others?

Meh.  Speed limits are a rule.  But if a cop pulls me for going 1 over, I'm going to be pissed and the judge is going to laugh and throw the ticket out.

Depends on the jurisdiction.  Probably true since in most (maybe all?) places in the United States you technically can’t even go to jail for speed alone unless you’re going 15+ over.

But in this case the player being released is the rule.

Does the NFL dare punish the golden franchise?

Sounds to me like he got injured playing us and they don’t want to say what it is.

Fractured manhood.

[Snake]

No way they do but it would be awesome to see him have to play for the Browns. Or the Browns make the packers have to trade there entire draft for him.

Probably when KK smashed him.

....that no one outside of Wisconsin knew existed until Bret Favre fell into their laps.
