The allegations the Browns covered up his drinking and reported he had a concussion?

In any case, the affidavit filed by his girlfriend regarding their altercation is more than enough for anyone withholding any hope to give up on him. He's a piece of .

Doesn't rule out the Cowboys picking him up though.

Right, or the judge doesn't draft your boy deflated balls in his fantasy league and actually upholds the suspension like he should have in the beginning.

The reporter on the Manziel story partially rescinded some info. Def was drunk at practice.

Well since the other thread got locked I'll leave this here. I thought it was interesting to hear Cam's own reaction/explanation for his post game.

Cam has zero fucks given. He'll still get paid, still start as long has he has talent, even if he's the nicest guy people will still talk shit. He's just an athlete, he's not raising my kids.

So he's the new Charles "I am not a role model" Barkley? Not necessarily disagreeing with the sentiment - it just reminded me of Sir Charles.

^That's one way of looking at it. The funny thing is guys like him, Iverson, and Randy Moss are hated but good while they play for their attitude. And then after they retire people are like oh they were so cool when you see their 30 for 30.

You don't think it will be Brock?

He's now got some real playing time under his belt and will have OTA's and training camp running with the ones. I'm expecting big things from him (perhaps just because I'm looking through my orange colored glasses). I think he's a great fit for the Kubiak offense!

He's also a free agent on a team with some serious free agent priorities above him.

He's not the top FA priority but he's top three in my opinion. If Manning retires and Brock walks then that leaves 2015 seventh rounder Trevor Siemian as the only QB on the roster. Not an ideal situation.

Elway drafted Brock in his first year as GM expecting to groom him into the franchise QB after Manning leaves. His first seven starts yielded a 5-2 record and he definitely showed some promise with his decision making, mobility, and overall arm strength.

I expect an offer from Elway and will be very interested to see the terms. IMO he should get low to mid range starter money, perhaps an incentive laden deal which could bring it into the top 5-10 at the position, with no guarantees after the first two or three years.

I thought about Osweiler every time I'd see one of Broccoli's brocktastic posts. I had never heard that name before so naturally my mind goes toward the only other person I knew of with that moniker.

Nah, J's not like frankly, it's been standard practice for pretty much most* of the sports threads to lock up that season's thread and divert it to the off-season thread once the playoffs are over.





* Exception is the hockey thread since well, it's really a glorified chat/insult thread between a Rangers fan, Penguins fan, Bruins fan, and a fair-weathered Blackhawks fan. The Leafs fan sometimes shows up to throw around some bitterness...
