    Joe Burrow must be wondering what the hell kind of organization he's gotten himself tied to.
    I doubt he thinks about that when he cashes his checks.

      They were in the Super Bowl just 4 years ago. They're not the Browns.

        They seem to be headed that way though. But they won the Joe Burrow lottery and it takes time to blow that much capital.

          True, but that doesn't change my point. I didn't say they were a long-running sad-sack organization; I said I'm not sure what they are doing. They've put their first-round pick into a position where they surely know he can't accept. They're letting the Trey Hendrickson situation just sit there, drifting on. Odd.

            NFL is suspending former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker for the first 10 weeks of the upcoming season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

            @AdamSchefter

            Statement from Justin Tucker’s representative Rob Roche: “We are disappointed with the NFL’s decision. Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud. He stands by his previous statements. In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter. The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband, and friend.”

            • Justin Tucker went from Top-1 player to out of a job faster than I have ever seen before. Basically unprecedented aside from Barry Bonds.

                Well, not quite. He had the worst year of his career last year, and really his last 3 years he hasn't been quite as automatic as he used to be. I wonder what would have happened if these charges had come out when he was the unquestioned best kicker in the NFL.

                • Didn't he used to kick barefoot at the University of Texas? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

                    Tony Franklin was a barefoot kicker for Texas A&M and the Eagles. Tucker played for Texas, but I don't know he kicked barefoot.

                    • Is he out of a job? Suspended by league, but did the Ravens cut ties?

                        He's a free agent. Ravens released him in May.

                          Sweet, when McManus gets suspended for accosting another stewardess we can sign the reinstated Tucker.

                          • Ramsey shipped to the Steelers.

                            Was thinking Ramsey for Doubs plus picks would’ve been a win/win.

                              • Gotta save the cap money to resign Tom and/or Walker plus appease Jenkins. As much as I like bringing in FA difference makers, I'd rather the money be spent in house to further team chemistry and clearly display Packers pay their own.
