    Laurinaitis is interesting. His numbers have been down lately from what they were earlier in his career, so I don't know if he's declining. Rams cleared 5.5 million in cap space by releasing him, so that might be the main reason the cut him, not necessarily his performance.

    Cook was a real disappointment last season.

      Long claimed in his statement that he has been playing terribly for 2 years. Haven't seen anything on the other two.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          Stephen Tulloch to Be Released by Lions: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

          By: Matt Fitzgerald , Featured Columnist ... Feb 18, 2016


          " Per Spotrac, Tulloch would have been a $7.3 million cap hit in 2016. The Lions will save $6 million in cap space by letting him go, since the dead cap penalty is only $1.3 million. ... "

          " The 31-year-old missed 13 games in 2014 because of a torn ACL he suffered celebrating a sack. Otherwise he's proved to be a productive, savvy veteran who started all 16 games for the Lions this past year, registering 107 combined tackles, one sack and one forced fumble." .... "

              Randy Gregory of Dallas suspended 4 games for substance abuse. He failed a drug test at the Combine and is now suspended after his rookie year. Nothing like getting your career off to a good start.

                Wasn't Gregory one of the red flag guys before the draft?

                Are teams dumping players earlier than normal or was it just the few announcements this week make it seem that way? Lions actually have some cap sanity this year and Tulloch seems to have been released because of age. Rams didn't seem to be in trouble either.

                  Gregory would have been a 1st round pick if not for the red flags.

                  I wonder if the Rams are clearing cap space to make a big splash in FA to sell the team to the new fans. Peyton Manning maybe?

                    8 teams have more than 40 million in cap space. Could be a crazy free agency season.

                      That's like 200 million dollars or so! You could sign a starting pitcher with that kind of cash!

                          Right now they are claiming their medical people (who the NFL love to refer to as scientists, which is not true in most cases) it should still be illegal. So they will do nothing.

                              I thought the NFL position was that legal or not, the league can still prohibit it's use in their workplace as a controlled substance under federal law.

                                Of course. They could also stop testing for it under the Drug and Alcohol Policy. They could also still suspend players if they commit a crime by possessing the pot in a location where its still illegal.

                                My point wasn't that the NFL is on shaky ground, my point was they are not interested in making any change at all.
