Nah. Unfortunately, internet+current news = mayhem. I wish it was different but people just aren't capable of being reasonable or behaving themselves.

It is what it is.

Its on a lot of our minds, better to talk about it here than in the cesspool that is the TB.  Besides we have always opened this board up to talk about things that are bigger than sports, such as hurricanes and floods.  I would think this falls under same category

Fair point. I am surprised it made it this far without being banished.

TB is a train wreck because of 3-4 different posters. One of them never comments on anything football related In the main forum.

There's been plenty of scary poo to read and there will plenty of scary poo in the coming weeks, but I think it's crucial to remember that we'll get through this and that there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Bro are you really linking the extremist right wing, conspiracy hack job news paper Washington Times as some sort of evidence that we are all gonna be ok? Aren’t you the mod who throws a hissy fit and gets trigger happy with the ban button when people bring politics in to the main forum? How old are you?

If it's not a great source that's my bad. I pay literally zero attention to our media outlets. Every time I try to tune into one it feels like ingesting straight propoganda. A doctor friend posted it on FB.

Removed the link. Message stands.

I'd stay away from just about anything posted on Facebook as a general rule.....

      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.
