In a few years the contract will look like a steal.

Most years we are still thinking about what positions they need to upgrade, try to sign some veteran to plug a hole. Devondre Campbell a few years ago, for example. But what position needs more bodies this year?
None that I can see, at least until injuries kick in.
And Wayne Simmons - a man amongst boys. Hope we see a bit of that this year with the youngsters.
KC player suffers a seizure in a team meeting. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/06/sport...son/index.html. I hope they can get things sorted out medically, but given the unpredictable nature of seizures, he might be forced to retire from this.
He had a pretty bad heart attack in the process from what I read. I would say in likelihood his career is over. In a vacuum I don't think Hamler would have ever played another snap, but the NFL didn't want to hang a young guy out to dry before he even had a shot at a second contract. Him being allowed back on the Buffalo roster was a PR move, not a medical/football move. This guy didn't have his issue on national TV so he will be thrown to the scrap heap like used underwear.
Also, Hamler's problem was caused by a known phenomenon of a hard chest compression at the wrong time of the heartbeat. It's incredibly rare and caused by an external event. Once he recovered, there was no more risk to him than anyone else on the field. Thompsons' problem was entirely internal to him, and harder to mitigate. But I do agree that the push to get Hamler back on the field was increased because the event happened on TV.

Sad news. Condolences to the families of those who died. Fuck drunk drivers.
For Packers players, unless your wife is having a baby, stay off the roads at 3am. Good things don't happen at that hour.
Very sad news about Jackson. Stupid drunk drivers, how is it they cause all kinds of deaths and usually survive? Grrr. Call an Uber, you dumbass!
Jackson was a big corner who would have at least been good depth for the Vikes. Losing a R4 pick like that stinks.
Yeah - stay off the roads at 3am.
There's a football adage that it's better to be the one doing the hitting than the one being hit. Drunk drivers are usually the ones doing the hitting and cars are designed with the best protection for front end collisions. Booze also shuts off good judgement, so unless they prepare to not drive before they start drinking heavily, and unless someone stops them, they will get behind the wheel.
I wish this will be the last time we post about an NFL player being killed by a drunk driver (or killing someone by driving drunk) but I think my wish for winning the lottery has better odds.
Don’t be a dumbass. This is a valid NFL topic and has been for a long time. Usually it is the NFL player doing the DUI. This situation is different and extra sad. Young guy about to live his dream cut down over someone’s bad choice. You are right that they don’t do shit to people for DUIs until they kill someone.
5 days after Khyree Jackson dies in a car crash, Viking teammate Jordan Addison is arrested on suspicion of DUI for being found asleep in a car, blocking a lane on the highway. Feels pretty tone deaf.
Addison was busted for going 140 last year. Heaven forbid you put him, Jalen Carter, and Rashee Rice on a team.
