Kenny Britt... (1 Viewer)

Rotoworld:

Kenny Britt publicly complained about a team-imposed fine on his Instagram account Wednesday.The Titans won't love this. Britt posted a picture of his $9,915 fine for missing a rehab assignment on Tuesday. "Yu gotta be (expletive) kidding me.. walk back to dis.. Don’t dey know I have kids," Britt wrote. "I’m tired of did (expletive)." The Titans are surely aware of the incident by now. It seems likely that they'll handle it internally, and hope it just blows over.
After his Monday meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Kenny Britt made it sound like he expects a league-imposed suspension for his offseason DUI arrest."He just wasn’t really pleased about seeing me in there," said Britt. "No person would like to see a player in their office twice in one year." Britt also met with Goodell last year, after three arrests during the lockout. "Anybody should be worried about going to see the Commissioner twice in one year to tell you the truth," Britt admitted. "I just have to take it on the chin and move forward."
I honestly would not be surprised if he got into trouble during his suspension and get banned from playing in the NFL indefinitely. I wouldn't touch this guy until way late in a draft, too much risk for his current adp.

:lmao: What a moron. He'll be washing cars or dead within 3 years after he's done in the NFL.
 
Hilarious to see the difference between his tweets and his spoken quotes. Dude needs to learn how to type actual English.

 
Al ot of guys that host football talk shows use a quote that says Football success is 90% "from the neck up", meaning that all the guys who make it to the NFL relatively have the similar physical attributes to be successful, but its the maturity, focus, dedication, studying, etc that separates the stars from the "others".

Obviously Britt has shown about 5% effort to "getting it". But what's funnier is I doubt FF owners "get it" either. I bet if you approached a Britt owner right now and offered a serious, fair trade, it would get rejected just on the principle of "you're just trying to buy low". So, in some regards, we aren't any different than Britt. We talk the talk but seldom walk the walk.

Well this mirrors the game somewhat doesn't it? Organizations want to draft the right sort of people but few consistently resist taking on the talented knucklehead. Who's willing to take the lesser talent who has his halo on straight?

I own him everywhere and would sell him for the first reasonable offer I received. I wont give him up for peanuts, because his potential is through the roof, but anything "reasonable" will land him now. I don't know what "reasonable" is at the moment, but I'll know when I see it. Unfortunately it's less than what "reasonable" was two days ago.
 
"Yu gotta be (expletive) kidding me.. walk back to dis.. Don’t dey know I have kids," Britt wrote. "I’m tired of did (expletive)."
I wouldn't even need to say it since you already thought it.He's off of my list completley now. A guy like Wright seems to be getting a lot of extra love because of this but I REALLY like Washington now and I'll be targeting him later in drafts.

This is one of the things that sets Green Bay apart.

I was going to ask you what "reasonable" was but I see you're not at that point yet. If you DO get a reasonable offer, share it with us. I think a lot of people will be interested to know what a fair market rate is for him at this point.

Your shtick is so tiring. You even try to make a Kenny Britt thread into a Packers thread.I really like the Packers. Mainly because of Aaron Rodgers.

But you seriously make me hate liking them.

As for Britt...I love him as a player but loathe him as a person. He is never going to get it.

Look it up. Google Ted Thompson and Packer people. It's one of the biggest things they stress in player evaluation. I don't really care what you think, just chiming in. This is one thing that Detroit is learning the hard way. You need good locker room and character guys. New York Giants are another great example.

What WOULD be reasonable at this point? Robert Meachem? Holmes and a late first round pick? DHB? Crabby? I am just curious because I agree but in my experience Britt owners have stars in their eyes from the two games last season where Britt shined. And I think they are blind to injury and knucklehead threats.

I'm not even going to mention the WR I dropped to keep Britt in my league. Some would say I'm a fool. I might be one of them.

Packers are not above reproach. Favre, Mark Chmura..
 
I'm not selling. Sure, he's a moron. He's also 23, which leaves a lot of time to figure it out. Dynasty owners need to learn the art of burying your head in the sand when you know a guy is talented but it's just not his time yet. Chasing news like this will just make you have an emotional reaction.

True. I am guilty of the stars in my eyes thought process precisely because of the limited sample I've seen. I truly believe he could be a top 5 WR. I will add that if I'm building for the future I'd be more willing to keep him because he is young and I don't need him to help me win now. If I'm not rebuilding I trade him for someone that can help me now....unless he's my 5th WR and I can afford to see how this plays out without hurting my chances now. (I'm already making excuses to keep him).Someone help me define reasonable (I have no idea right now)

No, of course not. However I don't recall Thompson bringing in either of those guys. In fact, he kind of showed Favre the door. So you sort of reinforce my point.

I think that is the question every dynasty owner wants to know, and has to answer. At this point, I really think anything more than a projected mid-late 1st is overpaying. The odds of him getting his act together are less than him being out of the league due to injury/character, in my opinion. If he were consistently healthy, teams would have enough risk to weigh. But if health remains a concern, it makes it very easy for the Titans, and future potential suitors to simply pass.

In this copycat league, teams are starting to look at the Steelers and Patriots and making tough decisions. Just two years after drafting Dez Bryant, and 5 years from adding TO, the Cowboys had players completely removed from their board, due to similar concerns. Teams are learning that individual talent, outside of the QB position, can be compensated for by hardworking, smart football players.

I am usually a big risk taker and would look to jump on news like this. But not with Britt. Not again. A projected mid-late first is the extent of my potential investment in him.

 
So, let me get this straight...he tweeted that crap AFTER his visit to the Commissioner?!!

I'm VERY heavily invested in Britt, unfortunately (I bought into the hype that he'd mended his ways last summer) and I wouldn't blame Goodell one bit if he threw the book at him.

In Dynasty, I already slightly ovepaid for Colston on a 1-year contract just to get another starting WR in case of a Britt emergency.

In that mid-stakes League, I can't afford to wait on Britt, or I'm going to have to go into rebuild mode. I'm going to have to try to deal him to a contender deep at WR for an upside prospect under a long-term contract, and hope that Randall Cobb accelerates his development to the point where he's a startable WR3 in a 16-Teamer.

Yeah, good luck with that. Thanks a lot, Bonehead.

This. The teams that consistently do well in the league are the same ones that generally don't invest heavily in knuckleheads and degenerates. Think of the teams that are normally contenders every year seem to stay away from rejects like Britt or TO and you see how a successful franchise can/should be run IMO.
 
Seems to be all conjecture with no facts, but interesting that people are starting to assert that this could be it for Britt and the Titans.

Kenny Britt Irritates Titans Once AgainPublished Thu Aug 9 12:00:02 p.m. ET 2012(FFChamps) Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com said Kenny Britt's latest mishap may be the last straw with the Titans for the talented but troubled wide receiver.Analysis: Britt was fined by the team for missing a mandatory scheduled appointment with the team trainer, and he took to Instagram to complain about it. Titans coach Mike Munchak, who was the team's offensive line coach when Britt was drafted, wasn't able to comment on the post Wednesday because it happened too late in the day. Britt has been had seven run-ins with the police since he joined the NFL in 2009, and he is in danger of missing the start of the regular season after having several knee surgeries. After holding onto Adam "Pacman" Jones for far too long, the team may have had enough of Britt's act.
 
Britt clearly has poor judgement but I get a good laugh seeing people jump on their high horse every time a pro makes a mistake. Even a minor one such as this.

I don't know how you can view this as minor, after everything that he has allowed to happened to him. He has EVERYTHING to lose - the ability to provide for him and his family - and he doesn't understand or respect that. In his mind, he is entitled to it. This is as big a red flag to me as anything he has done to this point, as far as determining if/when he grows up.

:goodposting:I'm trying to BUY Britt in every dynasty league I'm in. The ongoing knee issues are a legitimate concern for me, but I really don't get why people worry so much about him being a moron. Brandon Marshall is a serial wife beater. Marshawn Lynch is a thug. Michael Vick stepped out of a federal prison and put up his best fantasy season ever. The list goes on and on. Britt can play, and he'll be in the league for a long time whether he gets it off of the field or not.
 
Unless you play in a negative points per spelling error league I don't get the big deal. We already knew he was an idiot.

The Titans drafted Kendall Wright as the future WR in Tennessee. They obviously are concerned about Britt's ability to stay healthy and keep himself out of trouble. Will he contribute if he's on the field? Absolutely because he is a good talent but he is one more incident from playing himself out of football.
 
Buy low...lol....

Britt owners are not going to give him up for free. They have suffered enough and it is to the point that most will hang on and see if they can get maybe one more productive game from this moron.

How is Marshawn Lynch a thug?People are worrying because it affects his future opportunities. If he is cut - and that's a possibility - teams are not going to sign him as a WR1, which means he would then have to work his way up. During that time, he would need to stay out of trouble. When has he ever shown the ability to do that?

Don't most teams use more than one WR? And give me a list of all the good players who have been booted out of the league for off-field stuff.
Guys have continued to play in the NFL after killing someone.

Thanks for reminding me why you're on the ignore list. You still need to learn how to use google.

It's not about being booted out; it's about having his opportunities limited.

There are 29 other teams in the NFL. Situations change, talent doesn't.
