The good guy Falcons.

Saints would have taken offers.

Trades can't be finalized until free agency opens anyway so they never would have gotten away with it had they tried.

Still, kudos to them for doing the right thing.

according to OTC, 11 mill cap hit if they cut him....guaranteed salary.  No cap relief for the Falcons, no trade value, and this is the last year of his contract.  He'll be a FA in 2023 if not banned by the league.  Tough break for Atlanta.

 

too late to edit, Falcons board saying they will indeed get 11 mill in cap space for this season.

Falcons fans pointing out a ton of drops that looked uncharacteristically bad or "intentional." NFL trying to make it clear this was all after he left the team but I don't completely buy it. Horrible look for the league especially if more info comes out that suggests he could've been betting on games while playing.

I fully expect to get f*cked when betting on games so it is what it is but yeah, he’s toast then

lol we really wanted him

Now Florio's arguing with Breer about it...

 

Calvin Ridley isn't a victim. He broke the rules and should be punished. It is still fuged up for the NFL to pretend to have any integrity when they look the other way on things much worse. Just suspend the guy and move on without all of the grandstanding.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
