From a business standpoint it's safest to say nothing. There's a cast at Faire right now going through a lawsuit because they openly discussed a performer getting fired for DV & it turned out to be bullpoo. 

Saying "non workplace conduct" might be mitigating, (I have no idea what laws/league rules apply) but may not be a secure enough cya.

It's the NFL so comparing it to a regular job is a long stretch. Usually when they make moves they announce them with a tidy statement to get it out of the way and away. I'm sure they have enough lawyers going over their stuff to not implicate anything but the parting like they announce every other move they make.

I went to high school with Adrian. Tough break, he seemed like a good guy but you just never know. We’ll see how it plays out.

Me too!  Thomas Wingate Andrews represent!

Yep. Maybe y’all should hold ur opinions before jumping to dumb ass conclusions 

why the hell would we do that around here?

much easier to just jump on the "we just do dumb poo and everything we do and every decision we make is born out of suck." limited brain power involved, which kind of suits a lot of people in here.

The lawyers are the ones advising the team how to handle it. They do so to protect the best interest team not to protect Huddlers from jumping to conclusions.

100% but you folks on here cant be surprised that the teppers are getting dunked on when something bad happens all things considered.  I mean its be 6ish years of WTF moments since they took over.  This is an unfortunate incident but the teppers havent really done anything to get the benefit of the doubt.  I was wrong here for sure.

It’s really been that way since Cam left. Everything wrong with this franchise has been compounded mistakes after parting with the best player in the history of your franchise.

I'm torn. On the one hand, I'm glad it's not another knee jerk Tepper Panthers firing or another high level employee bailing ship. On the other hand, this is just a really shitty situation and that sucks.

Yeah, I have also learned enough over the years to not crucify anyone over media reports on legal matters. No one knows any facts. Could be BS, could be exactly as described and could be way worse than described. 

We've all seen this go umpteen different ways in lots of situations. He also has access to the criminal justice version of Clear/Precheck at his income level(Tepper has access to the Monopoly Get Out of Jail Free card at his income level), so there are no guarantees of anything.

Well you have to admit it's a safe bet we are doing something retarded under Tepper. It's been about 90/10 in that direction.

In this case it was not a safe bet.

      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.
