In discussing the Ray McDonald situation, George McCaskey (who, ironically enough serves on the league's Player Conduct Committee) indicated that punishing teams when their players make a habit of getting arrested is an option that's 'on the table'.

I could see it for teams like the Seahawks who have 6 different people busted for PEDs in short order and it's obviously the culture of the franchise and needs correcting. But for isolated incidents, even if you get 3 of them in one year, it seems kind of foolish.

i wouldn't cry over teams gettng screwed over like we were last year.

hardy didn't get punished. he got a $15mil or whatever vacation and we were forced to foot the bill.

Cue someone saying that all he really wanted was to play football.

(the trips to the Uptown Cabaret were just a desperate attempt to ease his pain and suffering)

Ehhhh it's a fine line.  For a first time offender of whatever conduct is broken, the team shouldn't be penalized. If they continue to employ the guy and he breaks rules again, penalize then, sure. Tough to determine which rules are penalized though. In-game advantages like PEDs or Deflategate, sure. Off-field incidents? Iffy. 

If something along these lines were to go into effect, you'd almost have to give teams the option to cut a guy or something and have his cap hit taken away in some form (NFLPA would be thrilleddddd I'm sure). 

If I screw up at my job and say get a DWI, I can be fired. Employer can terminate me and won't have to pay me anymore, done.  Because I make a dumb decision...doesn't mean the company should be fined or penalized. Even then, if I get another DWI...not the company's fault, so hard to justify penalizing them regardless unless it's a "work-related" type infraction.

Is it just me or do any of the rest of football fans sense a change is coming with the game of football?  Many fans are not happy with the product they buy when they go to games.  I read about grumblings of this and that.  I've grumbled myself after sitting for hours in the hot sun, paying ridiculous prices for food and beverage, reading about players that paid are paid exorbitant amount of money for little effort, etc.  I love football but is it getting too big?  Will there be an eventual break up of the NFL?  Is there going to be another league coming on the horizon?  I just have a feeling of change.

I wouldn't worry too much.

The change that I do you think you might see coming soon though is that it's about to become harder for guys who engage in criminal activity to keep jobs in the NFLNFL, and quite possibly a lot harder.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
