OT...Johnny Football deflated?

[hotshotcock]

More changes again in Cleveland...does this help open the door for Connor Shaw?

I was wondering where Connor was today.

I was wondering where Connor was today.

He recently tweeted that he has been 100% cleared. I don't believe he could play today due to his IR status.

I have never understood the NFL IR policy. A player is hurt for 6/8 weeks and you have to declare them out for the year.

I think it has something to do with CAP figures

He was not on the practice squad. He was on IR all year not allowing him to play at all.

So if CS is on IR, his salary does not count against the CAP?

I'd pick him in a dead pool.....if I played one.

Manzeil is probably dead man walking in Cleveland. But someone will eventually give him another shot. He has family money, so football can't hold the paycheck over his head like it does in most cases. Regardless, got to be good for Shaw if Manzeil is not in Cleveland.

Johnny Football isn't deflated, he is just drunk

I'd agree that Manziel is done in Cleveland. In fact, I think his career might be over, period. No sane GM wants to invite someone that chaotic into their locker room. The distraction he creates combined with his spoiled attitude is just too toxic. Somebody might take a chance on him a couple years down the line, but I don't think he'll ever break into the first team ever again.

He could try the Canadian route for a couple of years. Then ease back in the NFL back door a la Moon and Flute.
