Well, if you listen to Albert Breer, he kinda already did.

The league apparently did everything short of chanting a voodoo incantation to try to get him to up his bid (and heck, they may have tried that too).  Tepper wouldn't budge, and pissed off a fair number of people in the process.

Good.  We need someone who isn't okay with being the NFL's whipping boy and isn't afraid to say so...  from everything I've read, it sounds like that is what we're getting.

Most decide to be assholes. Money has NOTHING to do with it.

I agree but money has something to do with everything.  Dont fool yourself.

JR built his business one hamburger and grand slam at a time.  Tepper makes or loses hundreds of millions on a financial bet.  It’s two totally different mindsets in building and operating business models.  While Tepper says he’ll take the long view,  people in his industry have a thirst for “calculated “risk and always think they are the smartest one in the room.  If he doesn’t have someone with football knowledge he trusts that can tell him no, he could eventually become a meddling owner.

Most rich people are assholes. When you have enough money there's no need to be a good person. Just hope we win some superbowls. 

I think it's more than just about having money.  I believe that most people that operate at such high altitudes like Tepper does simply don't have the time and patience to play games or deal with incompetence.  They want things done, and push others as hard as they push themselves.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      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.
