Finally. Should have been done sunday night

When you have a guy spewing bullshit I’m guessing legal has to sign off on everything

 

[thunderc]

Business will be booming next season as AB said

Is there another Tom Brady out there willing to put his reputation on the line for him? That’s the only reason he got this chance.

Lamar Jackson

Jackson better worry about hanging on to his job I’m thinking

I don't think they could just flat out release him that quickly. There were likely contract considerations (do they still have to pay him? If so, how much), etc. so they had to go through their lawyers on all of that.

Also, they likely looked into the possibility of suspending him to keep him from being able to sign with someone who could use him against them in the playoffs.

You said it, but Jerry Jones might give him a chance depending on how this plays out.

We shall see.

I don’t think this is going to be resolved any time soon.

Eager to hear from Arians and Brady. Even more eager to see that sideline video.

Lamar Jackson

Yeah.....don't think he has the cache Brady has.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

That's to be determined. Again, Tyler Van Dyke is going into next year as the ACC's best QB.

We’ll see..

Do you think with workers comp laws being what they are they would have released him if they didn’t have ironclad evidence?

1 thing that I am curious about. And this won’t come out anytime soon. Maybe not for years.

Arians didn’t want AB to begin with. Brady made it happen.

Didn’t seem like Arians wanted AB back after the vaccine thing either.

Was that Brady going over Arians’ head?

Quite possibly.

Would also completely explain why Arians might get pissed off quickly at even the slightest perception that AB was being anything less than “a model citizen”.

There are lots of angles to this story.

We will find out.

I think Brady has already said all that he is likely to say. I'd be surprised if he comments any further on it.

Although, I'd bet that privately, he's not happy with AB. He's the one who vouched for the guy.

Yeah I agree.

He could've very well have been on another roster before the playoffs start if he wasn't going to have surgery.

 

[dtgold88]

Lol but what Riley did is right?

What does that have to do with what I said or him being afraid of the SEC?

 

[thunderc]

We have no idea if he is really having surgery or not

 

[shopson67]

The whole event has been about unsubstantiated sources and hot takes, lol.

 

[Heatles84]

I'll bite....how are we going to see? Caleb Williams isn't coming to Miami. So how are you going to revisit this?

There's definitely a lot into it, and you're probably right about Brady's influence.

Early on, Arians was probably the most vocal about the vaccines (I found it ridiculous, but I don't want to muddy up this thread on that topic). AB pulling what he did (even though given where he's at as an athlete, I don't understand why he'd need a vaccine, but I digress on this) with the fake vaccine card, probably ruined any chance of Brady salvaging AB's career in Tampa.
