Not being a dick, genuinely asking, who has been placed on it without criminal charges or video evidence of a potential crime?

Giants kicker Josh Brown. He didn't face criminal domestic violence charges but the NFL's investigation landed him on the commissioner's exempt list anyway. I'm pretty sure Saints' LB Jonathan Vilma had his bountygate suspension overturned by arbitration and Goodell was like fug that, to the exempt list you go.

The way it's written, they can exempt list damn near anyone for "conduct detrimental to the game" and how are you gonna fight that? Who determines what that actually means? I would argue that Byron Bell's play in the field was detrimental to the game. Why wasn't he in the exempt list? LOL!

I dont think they can just sit him indefinitely?  At some point he's gonna file a grievance with the union.

I think he will be gone by week 4 tho...  There's gonna be a team with playoff hopes that loses their starter in the first few weeks of the season that'll be willing to pony up more than what anyones offered so far. 

I was under the impression that he doesn't want to play for them anymore. He'll sit, be quiet, and make his money.

      Dan Morgan: Panthers will pickup BY’s 5th year.

      As expected. Still no reason not to bring in competition via FA or draft. Bryce can be our bridge QB until we find ourselves our franchise QB.

      I've been here since the forum started.    It's an X through Fitterer because I couldn't stand him.   Very troll like behavior.

      I agree with this, wholeheartedly. Bryce tantalizingly has his moments, even his games. This past Saturday was one of those. He really became the Mouse that Roared after the team fell behind and the o-line started collapsing. And, in truth, I think had the play calling been better at the end, he might well have brought us back into another lead change. Talk about a legendary moment just missed. I'm going to get lambasted for this but as a cautionary tale, I want to just say we're sitting at a spot that the San Diego Chargers were way back in the day. They had a short-ish QB on a rebuilding team that was underwhelming most games, but had some really good moments. They decided instead to take a gamble on drafting someone new and letting that QB, Drew Brees, go find someone more willing to let him develop. They turned around and had a draft debacle with Eli Manning/Phillip Rivers, ending up with Rivers in the end. We've got to remember that Brees wasn't who he would become at that time, it would take a coach willing to open up the offense and give the tough young kid a chance to grow. Rivers would become the poster child for the guy who almost was. Brees will get a gold jacket someday to go with the Saints only Superbowl win. Bryce probably isn't Brees, only one guy was and he barely got the chance to be him. Giving Bryce another season, maybe two, on squad gives us the luxury of testing the waters and the growth.  QBs early in their careers take time. We saw Rogers last night at the end of his career (maybe), sputtering out before he heads to the barn for his spot in the HoF and we have to remember him at his best, after sitting on the bench for three years. And we have to look at the other side of that coin last night, CJ Stroud, a draft classmate of Bryce's who soared out of the gates but who has come to earth since. He's still a good QB with a long runway ahead of him, but his performance under the big spotlight wasn't as strong as Bryce's on this particular weekend. I'm not 100 percent sure Bryce will be the guy. I'd like to see some more fire in the young man, some push, something that shows he can force his will on the other team's defense.  I am, however, seeing a kid that can make the throws, who can improvise and who amazingly can run braver and faster than I really thought he could. I think he needs time, he needs more confidence and he needs more brave coaching. If he doesn't get that here, I think he might find it elsewhere. And we'd find ourselves like the Spanos family, sitting on the couch in February asking Phillip Rivers to pass the chips during the Super Bowl commercial breaks year after year.
