Chris McClain just posted on his Facebook account that Steve Smith wanted to go air with Florio about the Clausen post. McClain stated that Florio would not do it, that he would only follow Smith once he finished. What a total punk Florio is, he is an complete idiot!

Cowardice is defined by a person that will not stand by their convictions in the face of its critics, even if it means bodily harm or certain death. If you're so much of a sad sack that you can't even stand sitting in the same room with somebody you made up a rumor about, then that's probably as good of a time as any to stop making up stories.

Quite plainly, Steve has already won the battle of public perception when his opposition refuses to appear beside him and take questions from the man himself.

The same room? This is a phone call we're talking about. Florio is so afraid of his house of cards being blown down that he won't go on the same LINE with someone he just BS'd about.

Florio has always had an obsession with Steve Smith for some reason. I remember after the 2006 season he said Smith faked his hamstring injury because he wasnt happy with his contract. He then said Smith will probably be traded next year and they'll sign Peppers to a long term deal instead. Literally one week later Smith signed an extension and now Pep is gone.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      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.
