-"NFLPA has avoided any real criticism for their members' conduct while teams and the NFL seem to be the target."

-"Blame doesn't just fall on Goodell & NFL. These players are NFLPA members. NFLPA also accountable."

They are making it sound as though Greg had the power to make this decision. It was never his call. The Commissioner is the only person that can place him on that list. They gauged his interest and it's the best course of action for anyone. Let my employer call me and ask me if I'd like to get paid without having to come to work. I wouldn't be able to sign fast enough!

Soon enough the focus will be in Goodell. In the end, Rice/AP/and Hardy will be martyrs after Goodell is fired or he resigns. Goodell can only sacrifice so many sheep before he runs out, and then his neck will be on the line. As James Harrison recently tweeted "It ain't funny, when the rabbit has the gun and sights on you is it" or somin to that effect

-"As w/ Peterson , Hardy resolution was a multi-party 'negotiation.' NFL/Panthers/Rosenhaus/ NFLPA all looking to serve their interests."

-"As with AP, sense a lot of parties - NFL/Panthers/Rosenhaus - involved in "negotiation" of Hardy status. $772,000 per week in play."

Honestly, it makes sense for the Players Association to sign off on this.

 

They're likely getting a lot of flack already for defending Ray Rice.  Taking this option for Peterson and Hardy means their image doesn't have to take the additional PR hit for defending another accused woman beater and a child abuser.

 

Someone gives them flack for not defending their members, they can just say "hey, they agreed to it".

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
