Increases his chances of making it through waivers and thus getting to our practice squad while he heals up. I doubt very many teams want to use up a roster spot on a player that has an injury that could keep him out for an unknown period of time (we have seen some high ankle sprains take months and months to heal)

From Men'sHealth.com

Recovery can take much longer than the common ankle sprain. If the injury is stable, a doctor will typically put the player in a cast for 6 weeks. If unstable, a syndesmotic screw may be placed between the tibia and fibula ligaments to hold them in position while the ligament heels. Rest here is crucial: these screws stay in place for three months—if walked on, they can break. Expect a player to be out for at least 3 months.

You'd think all the injuries we have had, it'd force Hurney to finally make a move on somebody..instead he still does nothing.

I'm not suggesting we prioritize a WR in FA...but I'm getting tired of seeing players we could use in the FA pool and us doing nothing, especially with more injuries mounting..

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
