The 2015-16 'OFF SEASON' NFL Happenings Thread

In addition to the Rams, you can scratch off the Colts from seriously competing in the NFL for a while. I just realized that not not only is Rob Chudzinski his OC, but Brian Schottenheimer is his QB coach.

Players make the team what it is, so this won't be the Browns, but it will be the Browns-iest version of a good QB ever.

Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, the Colts are the Charlie Browniest.

Terrible neck injury forces Seahawks WR Ricardo Lockette to retire

By Frank Schwab 13 hours ago

" ...When Seattle Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette fell to the turf in Dallas and didn't move last season, and when he stayed down for a long time afterward, you knew he had just suffered a serious injury.

As it turns out, the hit ended Lockette's career.

Lockette, who will turn 30 on May 21, will announce his retirement on Wednesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. ...."

Sad Day for Patriots Fans: Brady's Suspension Reinstated!

" ...Like many other NFL superstars, Brady was caught off guard when the NFL added performance-enhancing supplements like: T90X and NO2Blast to the NFL's Prohibited Substances list. Offenders would be fined $25,000 and could be suspended for a maximum of 1 game. Judge Katzmann ruled in favor of the NFL and allowed the NFL to reinstate Brady's 4 game suspension due to his violation. ... "

" ...When Brady was asked how he felt about the court ruling, he didn't hesitate to show his frustration as he told reporters , "I'm very upset obviously.. Anyone would be in my situation when suspended 4 games for taking training supplements that carry only a maximum of 1 game suspension... " ... "

I combined T90X and P90X and a month later I beat the shit out of 42 people.

Typically minimum 4 month recovery.
Definite PUP, hoping for quick recovery to make Week 1, possible to miss games.

One source said that multiple teams took Lawson off of their draft board because of shoulder concerns. (Lawson said Jaguars flagged him.)

But how many crunches can you do?

SHAQ LAWSON OUT FOR 4-6 MONTHS

Added Bills general manager Doug Whaley: “I want to take this opportunity to commend Shaq Lawson and his representatives for putting the team first by having this surgery on his shoulder done now. By doing so, he’s forsaking personal goals to be 100 percent healthy when we will need him most during the regular season. Fans constantly hear us say that we want players with tremendous character who keep team goals ahead of personal ones and Shaq is a great example of this.”

Translation : "Shaq Lawson and his representatives pulled one over on our medical staff. We have forced him to get it taken care of. To our fans, don't hold it against me."

[pbmax]

^ Reporters said he tweaked it during rookie camp. Which I take to mean there is not way he would have made it through camp.

I wonder if that might mean there is a bonus he will not be getting in near future?

Generally no, injured players, especially ones who get injured in rookie camp, will get their slot signing bonus. However his contract is highly likely to contain a reduced base salary when on injured reserve (probably PUP as well), which would save the team some money.
