Vernon Hargreaves got cut by the Bucs today Arians had just ripped him for not hustling enough on Sunday, but still surprised to see him go before the end of the year.
Preston Brown got cut by the Bengals too, but that’s not as notable.

Can’t wait for him to be throwing balls to AB & Dez Bryant in Miami next season
I don't think Miami would ever sign Kap cause of that Castro shirt fiasco.

I've met Armando Salguero and he's a bit of a blowhard but anyways.
Bama move out of the top 4 in the CFP. and have limited chance to move up. They’re praying for someone above them to fuck up.
Georgia & LSU would play in the SEC Championship game as it stands so one of those two has to lose. You’d imagine it would be Georgia, and they could also lose to Auburn this week.
Ohio State should be fine, but Penn State & Michigan are still on their schedule so it’s not impossible that they lose.
Clemson should be fine. They don’t play anyone the entire season.
Well that got fucking crazy.
Garrett will surely be gone for a while, but let’s not forget about Maurkice Pouncey kicking him in the head while he was on the ground either.
Just the shitty cherry on top of a pretty awful night all round for the Steelers. Pouncey is a meathead, but if you see someone swing a helmet at your QBs head, I feel anger probably is beating logic there 99 times out of 100.
Yeah, you can’t really be too mad at Pouncey, but he just went a bit too far with the intervention. Maybe a one game suspension & loss of a game check.
Garrett, however, could probably be permanently banned from the league & it wouldn’t be excessive. Surely has to be the rest of the season at the very least, if not a full year as the starting point. Legal/criminal action wouldn’t be shocking either.
Just mad to see if from someone who’s generally regarding as a really nice, mild mannered bloke.
I think it'll end up being 2 games for Pouncey (maybe to make sure he misses the return match in a fortnight) and till the end of the season for Garrett. Rudolph himself will probably get a hefty fine.
Probably one of the worst overall nights for a while for the Steelers. Shocking performance, losing to a division rival and losing 6 players with injury, 3 of them starters at skill positions. The wildcard race is still wide open for the AFC but with so many key pieces out injured (Diontae Johnson and JuJu with scary concussions last night also), I don't hold out much hope now.
The rematch at the Steelers in a few weeks will be interesting.
Schefter reckons Garrett is about to get the heaviest suspension in NFL history.
And so he should. He didn't really catch Rudolph with the helmet, but if he'd have swung that with the force of a man his size could, then we'd be having a whole different conversation right now.
I'm expecting somewhere between 10-15 games. Pouncey should be getting a fair few games too.
Reading down through this I thought you were all just doing your usual Helen Lovejoy routine but it actually is fairly bad. He'll be sitting a while.
Garrett suspended indefinitely. Christ.
Minimum rest of the season too.
I thought it would be rest of the season not including Playoffs if they made it.
Indefinetly is massive.
The Haslams' statement on it makes it sound like they're giving serious thought to cutting him.
Now that would be Lovejoy territory.
Pretty mental.
Rudolph has done pretty well walking away with just a fine. Garretts fucked given how the NFL want to act and that’s probably a serious fuck up on his part as he’s a $15m a year man when his rookie deal ends... perhaps not now.
Pouncey is just a thug though. Garrett was stupid, pouncey just looking to brawl. Throwing punches and kicks shouldn’t really be accepted either. I’d punt him for the season too.
If they ban Garrett forever I’ll be pissed.
I don't think the indefinite ban will stand.
I'm pretty sure I remember a player getting that in the past and going to court to overrule it. Should probably end up around a season in length of games.
Indefinite really just means "until we decide what to do with you." If they meant a life ban at this stage they'd call it that.
Intent has to count to the fullest here though. You can't go "oh bit he didn't hit him." He tried to brain him with a helmet. Treat it as though he did.
Those calling for legal action are mental.
Yes he hit him with a helmet. But he was happy standing there with it until the stupid prick charged him.
Steelers were awful also by the way. Probably a good thing this has over shadowed how poorly they played and how badly they were for injuries. Game was seriously dirty the whole way though. Lots of bad hits.
I think the ban will probably last for a couple of games into the next season.
Also, I think Pouncey only should have been banned for 2 games max.
RIP #TankingForTua 2019-2019
Yeah, hopefully it’s not as bad as a broken hip. He looked uncomfortable.
Burrow and Herbert have had good years too.. not great for him.
Bad for bama really too. No real big wins (and now the auburn game just got tougher). Then again, they won the lot with Jakob Coker and the sec with Blake sims, so who knows.
Also the league are doing their best to upset the Kaepernick workout(should be going on now).
They last minute wanted him to sign a different liability waiver to usual and due to it being in an NFL facility(the Falcons) they also decided that only their NFL cameras should be allowed to film anything for the media.
As such he's short notice switched the workout to a new, open facility. He wants an independent camera crew there and the ability for any team to film if they wish.
I'm hoping it goes well for him. He's better than plenty of back-ups in the league(I mean Mason Rudolph. Come on.) I just don't see it ending up in him being signed. When the President is out to fuck you over to the point you have people turning up to protest you potentially getting a job, I sense a lot of teams will avoid.
Uh oh. Early reports saying the injury Tua has looks very similar to the one that ended Bo Jackson.
Unless this was an output of the law suit I don’t get what the NFL is doing getting back involved. There’s plenty of free agents out there, they don’t organise private work outs for all of them, why this guy?
They’ve ended up looking like the bad guys presumably doing something they thought would give them positive PR. Playing with fire. Should’ve just let it be. If teams want to see him, they’d organise it.
Are they going to do the same for Manziel? How about zach mettenberger? Why not invite other free agent qbs?
I can't wait for the next lawsuit.
Photographer pitch side knocked out in the Georgia auburn game. Rough!
Probably the kick up the ass needed.. there’s too many people too close to the field in these games. Gtf back behind a barrier.
Also Georgia winning this is great. They need to smash auburn here to make the bama auburn game later in the year moot.
lol at the people putting Minnesota in the CFP then watching them lose to Iowa. Also lol at the people ranking Navy only for them to get shellacked by Notre Dame.
At this rate it’s going to be Oregon that gets in at 4, and I’d fancy any of the other three to kick their heads in.
Mon Utah then.
Iowa is a difficult place to go, so no shame losing there. However, not acceptable if you want in the CFP.
Going to be interesting if Georgia get smashed by LSU as they should in the sec championship game. Georgia has a couple of good wins but will the CFP want to watch a repeat smashing in the semi?
All gets a bit complicated if Ohio state slip up against penn state oe on the championship game or less likely Michigan. Playoff committee really needs Ohio state to win out, Clemson to win out and LSU to edge Georgia in the sec championship. Bama will win out and they’ll argue for eye test to put them in and it might work if the other conferences don’t have clear champions. Can see Georgia being punished for losing the sec championship game if it’s not close.
Bama would have been an easy 4 for me until Tua went down. I've not seen them with Mac Jones but I'm guessing they'll slide slightly down into the Georgia/Oklahoma tier, which opens the door for some of the teams in the next tier down.
Top 25 (well, 27 as that's the end of the tier) looks like this for me now:
Toggle Spoiler
I think Florida could be in the tier above, but they're out of contention for the CFP so I dropped them into the next tier down.
Glad Denver have a good defence so we can hold onto a 20-point lead.
According to a Broward County (Fla.) arrest report, Walton allegedly pushed the victim against a wall and punched her several times in the face and head after an argument. The victim is five weeks pregnant, according to the report, and Walton is the father of the child and was made aware of the pregnancy Sunday.
What an absolute cunt.
I assume that’s Mark Walton. Seem to remember he has history.
Shame cause he played at UMiami
Who are we tanking for now?
Jeaux Burreaux
Well, the Jets are tanking for an O-like, so probably Andrew Thomas or Tristan Wirfs. Unless they want a WR. Or a CB.
The Jets are bad, essentially.
NCAA is amazing.
Garrett aledges Rudolph used a racial slur during the altercation now.
Took him long enough.
Quite the confusing game there. The Colts took the Rams gameplan from the weekend gone and refused to throw the ball. Every play was pretty much a run, against a team with a decent/good run defence but a horrible pass defence.
Also a strange call I thought in that in trying to run the ball out inside 3 mins, the Texans let Watson keep one and replays showed he clearly fumbled the ball. However they never even looked at it on booth review. It would have given the Colts the ball around the 50 with some minute left on the clock as well.
It may have been within 3 minutes... but was it within 2?
Edit- assuming it was from the second part.
