Had to bring him White to 53 to release and then sign to PS.
i put waivers for both Edwards and Zay
Was it you who was baging the table for him?
My leagues are way too deep. Zay is available but Edwards is rostered. Plus, I have low waiver wire priorities in all three.
I didn’t know that about having to bring him to the 53. That’s odd.
Edwards was been drafted then dropped, picked up and dropped again a dozen times lol
I don’t want him. Never did. But he knows the system. And they need a wr this weekend.
Even though he's young, his career is essentially over. He'll never wear Silver & Black again that's for sure. He will spend time in jail no matter what. I remember Vince Niell going through the same thing in the 80s. I don't think he ever fully came back from the guilt he has to live with. Sad, sad tragedy all around.
Some thoughts:
That's what I would have guessed. Imagine what is going through that idiot's mind at that moment...
Considering how much of his game is predicated on speed, he's going to be gone for at least a year (do they get time off for good behavior in Nevada?) and who knows the extent of his injuries, I'm thinking his star turn has ended.
Maybe not but he recovered enough to put up 121, 142 & 151 tackles over the last three seasons. And he's still only 26.
Without getting too personal, I've sat through a few AA meetings and the room is half full of people in Ruggs' shoes. Those who have gotten behind the wheel impaired and maimed and killed people. No matter how he comes out of this tragedy physically, it's the emotional and mental side of things that, if he has any conscience or heart at all will take years for him to work through. Catching footballs is going to be the least of his worries the next 10 years or so. It's a heartbreaking situation that happens all too often. Someone should have had the kid's back and gotten him a ride. But this isn't the place for that discussion and that's the last I'll comment on it. I wish peace for the victim's family.
I don't know about that... he has had pretty decent numbers the last three years in Dallas.
That was Ruggs.
And the carrying the burden of killing a woman on top of throwing a multi-million dollar job away. My hope is that he comes out of this in a way that he change people's lives for the better once the legal side of this all wraps up. He is likely out of football for 2022 and 2023 seasons and that is a long time to be out of the league. On the other side, he is still young, and can definitely make a comeback attempt but it will not be easy or guaranteed.
>>If convicted, the first charge carries a sentence ranging from 2-20 years and the second charge carries a sentence ranging from 1-6 years.<<
Seeing as Mark Davis, and the whole Raider organization, has had so much to do with the Biletnikoff Foundation, I hope they can rally around Ruggs to create something help and educate others in avoiding situations like this
They don't have to pay him if he's not available to play unless it's by injury. They'll either be able to put him on NFI or some kind of Reserve list for those that don't show. Similar to Calvin Ridley, or when a player doesn't show/retires/whatever.
I thought as a vet he's not subject to waivers and can go anywhere he wants?
Yeah, was just lumping him with all the other bums people were mentioning as replacements.
After the trade deadline all cuts are subject to waivers. Prevents shenanigans of "cut him and we'll sign him and give you some Fritos".
I made some pretty bad decisions from the age of 16-24. Most young men are just dumb. Still, I always dreamed of having a driver to safely get me home from bars and not have to worry about police. In today's Uber/Lyft age and as a millionaire there is just no excuse for this. He'll be in his 30's by the time he gets out of prison and hopefully the victim's family is living in his house by then.
Mind numbing is the perfect way to describe this. Just horrible horrible news all around.
I'm sorry you guys are going thru this, been a very trying year so far and yet you all are in the thick of the Division and the Playoff race, that might not be the thing you are focused on today/tonight though.
