It’s only $900k for this season (base salary) and next year is $12m but not guaranteed. The acquiring team does not take on prorated bonus/money. 

Which we'd have been on the hook for anyway when we cut him after the season to save the $12M not-guaranteed. At least this way we get a little something back for him. I'm stoked.

If Hollywood Brown hadn't gotten injured yesterday we probably would have to just cut him. They had like 3 WR's left on the roster so had to get someone.

What does his hair and how he talks have to do with anything, though? 

We make fun of Baker's height, we made fun of Drew Brees and his mole, we made fun of Gettleman and his shorts, we make fun of Tom Brady's prissy looks, we made fun of Rhule's fat, we made fun of JR looking like a corpse, etc. Robby has a funny-looking haircut. PERIOD. It's perfectly reasonable to mock it.

Now, if you want to argue how Robbie speaks/types is a product of his upbringing fine. But you really need to back it up with proof. But we called Cam out on his inane font usage. Social media is fair game. Jesus, Gronkowski is dumber than a box of rocks and if he tweeted odd stuff it'd be perfectly fine to mock him for it. You're a public figure.

Mocking is not racism.

it's just a little suspect they're going after (1) his hair, which is locks and extremely black, and (2) his register of speech, which is unapologetically AAE and extremely black. it feels like they're using robbie sucking and being a jerk as a vehicle to bag on black culture

Dude.  And this will be my last post on this.

 

Between Robbies actions, interviews and twitter posts the dude is a fuging moron.  It has nothing to do with his dialect or register of speech.  Its crazy to try and tag the racism label to folks laughing at this dumb motherfuger.   He cannot string together 2 fuging sentences where he doesnt sound idiotic.  I get it, thats his shtick but being labeled a retard and being laughed at goes with that territory.   I mean is basic English that hard to learn?

Yeah mock him for dropping passing, whining about fans booing, not performing after getting paid, calling Sir Purr a bear. Plenty of material there. His hair and register of speech doesn’t really matter.

    • Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.     
    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
