Every year around training camp time, we've had a "catch all" thread for NFL news of general interest.

So here's this year's version, starting with an old friend...

 

Another formerly coveted draft prospect...

 

A surprising retirement, and a hit to the Colts O-Line...

 

The Browns making a change on their line...

 

And an item not technically in the NFL, but huge news nonetheless...

Meyer has reportedly been placed on paid leave, pending investigation.

Clay Travis, the wannabe rush Limbaugh of skip baylesses.

Not really familiar with him.  Used his tweet because it had the most complete explanation of why Meyer was being suspended.

It's being reported all over though, including by Rapoport.

Gonna be real interesting to see whether Meyer survives this. I'd probably bet that he won't.

At least based on what I've read, Meyer didn't do anything himself. And that'll probably be the argument people use to defend him.

He did reportedly cover up someone else's domestic violence incidents though. And frankly, that's inexcusable.

You don't let a woman be victimized for the sake of winning football games.

Word on the street is that Rasheed Suliamon was kicked off Duke’s b-ball team a few years ago after being a sexual predator and having numerous sexual assault allegations disappear and covered up from Coach K. To this day, no one really knows the reason why Suliamon was kicked off the team. 

Meyer is a shithead, egotistical coach who probably doesn’t have an ounce of integrity or honesty in his body. Look at the crime syndicate teams he had at Florida. Meyer is cut from the same cloth as K, Saban, Calipari, they are all about winning and will do whatever it takes and screw over anybody in their way. 

If this is isolated incident, Meyer better come clean and beg for forgiveness and make a huge donation to a charity. I’ve seen how these NCAA scandals sometimes play out and spiral out of control, especially when fueled by the media - kudos to Ohio State for getting out in front of it.

I'm not sure he can survive even if it is isolated. Not in the #metoo era.

And frankly, he probably shouldn't.

Well, this oughtta be fun.

Joel Bitonio doesn't really wanna move to left tackle.

Translation: I just signed a six year contract at elite OG salary levels, not LT salary levels. Bitonio signed for 6 years/$52M as an OG. Taylor Lewan just signed for 5 years/$80M as a LT. If he moves and plays well, expect a contract showdown next offseason.

Ohio State whacked Jim Tressel for lying, so it wouldn’t be the first time they fired a very successful coach. Tressel actually broke NCAA rules though which I don’t think Meyer has to this point.

like I said though I have seen how these NCAA “scandals” can spiral out of control. Especially with social media and click hungry reporters. This could be the tip of the iceberg and you never know what other info could leak out. Ohio State is doing the right thing and getting out in front of it, being proactive unlike some of the other big ten schools have handled stuff like Michigan State and Penn State.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      If the shoe was on the other foot and a divisional rival fanbase was trying to prop up someone like Adam Thielen the way some folks here are these same people would be viciously mocking them.

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

      I wonder if this will cause the value of 2nd rd picks to go down? Teams may be more open to trading down.

      Okay in our wins he had 0, 0, 6, 6, and 6 targets last year while producing about 40 yards in games he did play in.  Those games also represented games he had the least amount yards on the field on the season and was slightly under his average targets per game.   AT production and games people use to talk about how good he still is.....don't translate to wins.  To me, we often just get stuck in games both in 23 and 24 of over targeting him and him getting too many non-threatening yards.  Those are the AT fantasy football games.   Like I said, to me it's just the fit of it all.  He occupies space in our cap and basically team where we need real legit O coming from that spot..  To me, he just isn't that dude.  Given where we are, I'd rather be building up younger guys with the reps.   I think he gets too many is all.  I get why they had to keep him.  But he needs to be phased down on reps on the field.    It's not just targets.  It's offensive snaps.   But yeah, when AT is dominating snaps and then gets up to the 7 or 8 or heaven for bid 10+ targets? That's just not the football I want to see.  That's losing football IMO if AT occupies that role in the O.
