After an incident between him and the Ravens no one is even looking at him.  Did NFL blacklist him or something?  Would love to have him as FS.

I don't think he was banging his brother.  Nothing wrong with a little double team action between bros.

Doing a eiffel tower with your brother is not cool.....

Any chance you could you sum it up for those of us who don’t have a subscription? I am curious about why he hasn’t been signed. 

The TL;DR version is: Earl has always been a strange character. It's part of what made him so great. He was Smitty esque in terms of competing. However, as we all know that can be a double edged sword. His play dropped significantly with the Ravens and yet his attitude got seemingly stranger, i.e. missing team meetings, leaving for vacation when he really shouldn't have etc.  He really didn't buy into the Ravens culture. Players went out of there way to warn other players for their franchise NOT to sign him. I can't recall exactly but in the article I believe Houston was about to sign him but ravens players scared houston players so bad they lobbied for them not too.

Yow. Blacklisted by the players.

It was the Cowboys. They warned Cowboys players about him and they went to the team front office and said they didn't want to play with him. Once three separate rosters had essentially said they didn't want him around, his future in the NFL was nonexistent.

Think about it this way, that didn't even happen to Terrell Owens.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
