If Johnny Manziel gets an NFL job and Greg Hardy doesn’t, anyone with even a mustard seed of the facts or common sense will go apeshit.

Hardy already had his second chance with the cowboys. He proceeded to act like an asshole and then got busted for Coke.

Manziel hasn't gotten his second chance yet. If he proceeds to act like an asshole and get busted for Coke, then it wouldn't surprise me if he's without a job as well.

Manziel is an entitled jerk and an absolute moron, but I don't recall him ever being associated with a violent crime.

He hit his girlfriend on the side of the road during a fight one night. Might have been drinking too, can't remember, but it did happen.

Ah yes, had forgotten about that.

Did she press charges?

No idea and I don't care enough about him to look it up.

Either way, the Hardy/Manziel situations are similar but different because Hardy has already squandered chance number 2 and Johnny hasn't gotten his yet. We'll see if any team wants to take on the media circus associated with Johnny Football. I wouldn't, but there are teams out there who desperately need a QB, so who knows.

Legal situations aside, Manziel is terrible.

You gotta be kidding.  Greg Hardy was drafted in the 6th round and after four years was thought of highly enough as a teammate and player to earn the franchise tag from a different regime than drafted him.  Manziel was drafted in the 1st to be a franchise savior, was given many chances, and couldn’t even make it more than two years.

Yeah he's a friggin headache. I am not disagreeing with that. However all his drama happened within his first stint with his first team. It's yet to be determined if he has left that stuff in his past or not. 

Hardy had Drama with the Panthers then continued new drama with the Cowboys. He showed 0 growth from stop 1 to stop 2. That's why he is without a job in the NFL. He had a shot to keep his head down and nose clean with a new team. He had a chance at a fresh start, and he acted like a douche. If Jerry Jones can't put up with your poo, no other team will. That's why he doesn't have a job right now. 

Manziel now potentially has a shot at a fresh start. No one knows what will come of it, but if he too acts like a douche, then I would understand him being unemployed forever as well.

Not worth losing Norwell’s comp pick. He’s never going to be Olsen’s replacement so I’d rather get Lewis for the year and draft someone you think has a higher ceiling. I liked the Dissly kid and the Thomas’ late if we don’t get an early round TE. 

Shultz has potential.  The TE from Wisconsin with nine fingers is an option.  Smythe?  OK

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
