that word keeps coming up. Could this, could that.

It's unlikely Frye was stalking him and it's extremely unlikely this would have happened at a less sketchy location.

The unique thing about the NFL is you can be a player and not be recognized in public. The helmet provides some obstacles in identifying a player.

Though somewhat of a local celebrity, Beason is not that recognizable in the public eye. You, me and most of the forum folks could pick him out in a crowd but not your average fan.

Frey sadly is one that could. It could have been at a club, a bar or any other night time activity. I do not frequently visit strip clubs but the ones I have been to the security is tighter there than any other night time establishment. So If I am looking for a place with more security than a good time. A strip bar is just as good as any.

I would say Frey saw an opportunity and took his shot.

To imply that a player should not go out and enjoy the fruits of his labor is insane. It isn't like Pac-man Jones out there throwing money all around the strip club trying to get attention. The man was out with friends enjoying some eye candy.

Furthermore, as far as I can tell, Beason wasn't the man throwing the punches so though present doesn't mean he was involved at all.

Sorry to disagree with you but being in a strip club does not mean this wouldn't have happened.

strip clubs are much more likely to have trouble than restaurants, stores, or any of the other ridiculous comparative locations people have put forth.

Although true, your comment could be said about any night club, bar, pub, etc. By your standards, I guess that professional athlete's should not frequent any of these establishment either.

The Uptown Cabaret of The Men's Club are in no way "sketchy" locations....although some strip clubs are.

You are lumping all of these establishments together...which is incorrect.

You may not agree with frequenting one, but to use "sketchy" to describe them is way off base.

I have been to strip clubs (usually with bachelor parties) as well as other night clubs and bars. I will tell you this....I have seen WAY more indicents of intoxication and physical altercations at a nightclub that I EVER have in a strip club.

The word that keeps popping up in your statements is Prejudice. Lets just ignore all the facts about Frye and his character, because strip clubs are "bad" places Beason should know better.

Then so are Bars and dance clubs! We should all stay away from these evil places.

it isn't that the they are bad......they are just one of several locations that at around 2 am are full with a high percentage of intoxicated/high people. High profile people are targets for the "entertainment" of others.......

as mentioned clubs/bars at 2am are just as bad or not worse places to be for a high profile person like Beason.

I mean I am a nobody and a nice guy....and have gotten or potentially gotten into countless incidents in places that focus on booze during the peak booze hrs. It is magnified for a high profile person as far as potential problems/altercations/etc. they likely face.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
