Reasonable.

You know Monsta, this article is filling me full of questions. And here's another one.

Whose name do you not see mentioned anywhere in the story?

Specifically, someone who - given the circumstances - would have to have been involved in the transactions.

I did find it interesting that GMans name was notably absent, given he would probably be the one who called Marcus in. Was there something in his demeanor that told Marcus he didn’t want to be cutting him? What made MB immediately ask if he was being cut by Big Cat specifically?

No it was bc of the bat to OBj

The bat was a team thing and coach approved.

I don't think Beckham being a baby about it made a difference.

And it would have been Gettleman bringing him back to the Practice Squad, something that would seem to go against Richardson's wishes.

Lotsa stuff we'll probably never know, but it really does bring up a fair number of questions.

It’s odd that 31 other owners didnt want him on their team as well.

Am I the only one who read this as LaVar Ball?

No it's not.

He was a practice squad level player. Most of those guys latch on with one team and never get a look from anyone else.

If you're a guy just fighting to try to get a spot on a roster it's probably not a good idea to do anything that might rock the boat. NFL teams don't like distractions in the locker room and if you're already a borderline talent it's a virtually guaranteed pink slip.

If I am an owner and you kneel during our National Anthem you will never wear a uniform again

and you would be one of the worst owners in football who probably asks his female employees to shave their legs and asks them to see that wiggle.

That’s what I am saying. But then there are guys like Wes Welker, Brian Waters, Jason Peters, Vinatieri, Priest Holmes, and even our Harrison Butker who had chances

Maybe Gettleman wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s just a thought, but I imagine Gettleman really liked Ball as a player. Bringing Ball back could have in fact been going against JR’s wishes.
