look into Apple's "injury" further and his tweeting while a game is ongoing. I hate the content of his posts (highlights of other players against the Giants), but you can't stop him from speaking his mind. But they should look into if he actually has an injury or if the injury is only a cover to keep a malcontent from suiting up. Digging deeper was Apple one of the sources that were airing the dirty laundry earlier in the season? If so, why hasn't he been suspended with conduct detrimental to the team. By initiating such a suspension, it voids the guarantees in his contract allows the team to pursue repayment of prorated portions of the signing bonus.
There have clearly been problems with Apple this season. One source said hes disliked within the organization. That would make sense given he has been shelved the past four weeks and has started only seven games this season.
I agree. But the timing of such action might have been another PR black-eye with his mother undergoing brain surgery at the time. There are just too many incidents that point to a short tenure with the team. In order to get out from under his contract, necessary administrative actions need to happen and that begins with a suspension that is conduct detrimental to the team.
get traded or released at this point. His reputation is being tarnished as a healthy scratch and this is his way of fighting back. i think the new coach will get a crack at him though.

Thanks, Jeff. I hope this story continues to be shown the bright light and other beat reporters pick up the story.

Steve Spagnuolo addressed what has been a rough year personally and professionally for CB Eli Apple, and said Hes got to step up and show his teammates and coaches that hes ready.
We passed on Laremy Tunsil for Apple. I'm also thrilled that we passed on Gurley for Flowers. If Reese wasn't a dumb fuck we'd have a good OL and a stud RB but instead we have a lazy stupid CB, a LT who can't block and a shit head WR. Zach Martin, Laremy Tunsil and Todd Gurley or Odell, Flowers and Apple. Fuck you Jerry Reese.

You had me until Zach Martin over Odell. Even Dallas would take Beckham over Martin 100 times out of 100.

Don't mind Joey. He's gotta find a way to mix in at least one shot at Beckham per week. Finding a way to fit a top five player in with failed and struggling draft picks is a new one.

Dude WTF is wrong with you? Odell had the best first 3 seasons for a WR in the history of the NFL. Almost 300 catches, 5000+ yards, 35 TDs, even though he missed like 5 games his rookie season? Yeah really wish we didn't draft that once in a generation play-maker so we could have had Zack fucking Martin.
I was about to say hindsight is 20/20 until I read that part of your post, turns out your hindsight is on some Stevie Wonder shit.
