NFL files grievance against NFLPA

might be some fire under that smoke.

Running back?


I keeed.

Maybe?

(Sarcasm off)

He's such a fuckin idiot.

Cannot be risked.

.

There are docs covering the NFL that have said he really should have been ready to go given recovery timeline of his injury. Obviously they can't know for sure without evaluating him, and if they did, they wouldn't be able to comment.

I absolutely believe he's feigning injury, though. That's a nasty divorce happening in Indy.

Showing a lack of integrity and insinuating you have durability issues is now considered a good thing?

Yeah, I don't even understand the premise of what they're allegedly trying to do. If RB's are hurt even more than they already are naturally, doesn't that just devalue the position more? I guess never underestimate the ability of people to do dumb stuff, but making yourself look less physically reliable seems like an odd way to try and get bigger contracts.

The holdout is the leverage. The faked injury (if proven) is just a way to execute the holdout while sidestepping the fines that would otherwise accompany the holdout.

But to your point, feigning injury is definitely seen as less of a liability than actually being injured, although that's probably because guys who are faking their injury can miraculously heal. Guys who are actually injured are stuck with real recovery timetables.
