Such a waste. Motorcycles are so dumb.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Don't contracts have restrictions on off-field activities?

They can't ski or sky dive.

Surprised if they're allowed to ride motorcycles of any kind.

Really not important at all right not but those restrictions are unique to each contract. Not all encompassing.

RIP Tray Walker. Just tragic.

Very sad, tragic situation. His father had apparently passed just a couple years ago during his rookie season. Can't imagine what that family is feeling right now.

23 years young with his whole life right in front of him. Damn shame. RIP

Not the best time in the world to bring that up dontcha think? Actually, reading a snippet of Steve Bischiotti's (sp) statement it sounded like Walker did have such restrictions but of course he can't in good taste bring that up. At least he did say the organization will do whatever it can for Walker's family.

I think it is in every standard contract now. They could sue to get the signing bonus back if they really wanted too. Not sure how the NFL treats this with the salary cap, hopefully they don't have to do things to keep from being penalized.

His money should still count against the cap. The Pats had most of Aaron Hernandez's money counting against their cap space up until the start of the league year last season.

Very different scenarios.

Yea, there was nothing in place when Darrent Williams and Sean Taylor passed but I know it was something that was going to be discussed and addressed and I'm assuming by now it has been. I'm actually pretty both the Broncos and Redskins eventually got cap relief.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Then why couldn't the Pats get any relief from Hernandez's contract?

In full disclosure I'm not 100% sure the CBA resolved this as they wanted to but I can't believe you are asking me the difference between Hernandez/Williams and Taylor.

Because death and prison aren't the same thing
