I wish our beat guys would start writing stuff like this. Get the buzz train rolling with as much momentum as possible. Instead we get the usual garbage pieces about a guy who played here a couple decades ago

Yeah, Jones was a total buzzkill on this

to be fair, this is unprecedented.

So 32 teams usually don't do this.

 

 Just as a franchise...hard to imagine, even if everything is cool and he's cleared, to sign a guy that was even remotely tied to killing a pregnant woman.  I think it's Saints or Cowboys for Collins.

I agree with ya, but am hopeful that we are wrong.

He'd have no chance to play in Dallas and he'd have to be a OG in New Orleans positioning himself for a career making significantly less dollars. He may well sign there but there is no logical reason to assume that he will ahead of time. You're just churning out the same garbage the "CamStealsLaptopsDurr!" crowd like to barrage the PFT comments section with. As has also been said in this thread, we just forked out some dough in UDFA to a guy who has been legitimately convicted of actually doing stuff.

    • I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.   
    • Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.
    • It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
