No. Can't sue for something that the NFLPA agreed to (I mean I guess you can but won't get anywhere doing so).

He's been involved in several lawsuits per google but none against his own players union that I could find.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/8126187/drew-brees-new-orleans-saints-wins-franchise-tag-ruling

My mistake. Brees did sue regarding franchise tag, but it was over whether a player can be franchised three times by one team or if it spanned over the course of their career. It was after Brees was franchised for the second time. He can only be franchised one more time in his career.

EDIT: Now I am wondering whether just being franchised counts as a time or actually playing under the franchise tag counts?

EDIT 2: You are not going to believe this, but the Panthers are in talks with..............you guessed it, Marty Hurney to be interim GM. You can't make this stuff up.

Saw a tweet today..

2 weeks in the future, Panthers announce a 5 year $65M deal with $34M guaranteed for Greg Olsen.


It's scary in that it's likely to be true if Hurney gets the job

Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler spent some of his final hours before the start of training camp in police custody.

Fowler was arrested on Tuesday night in St. Petersburg, Florida and booked into jail shortly after 9 p.m. Per a report from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Fowler was charged with simple battery and criminal mischief. He was bonded out of jail early on Wednesday morning.

Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports, via a police report, that Fowler was arrested after an altercation in an apartment complex parking lot. A man allegedly criticized Fowler’s driving, leading to an argument that included Fowler hitting the other man and stepping on his glasses after they were knocked off. Fowler also allegedly took the other man’s bag of groceries, which included “recently purchased liquor,” and threw it in a lake. Fowler’s alleged victim was not injured.

Both of the charges are misdemeanors and Fowler could also see disciplinary action taken by the league, which will likely be looking into the incident and following the legal proceedings related to the arrest.

Cap space was nice while it lasted. I'm sure TD and Olsen are thrilled, they're about to be very well compensated.

Taking the other dude's groceries and throwing them in a lake? That's petty. Funny as hell, but petty.

My favorite part is it's specifically noted that the booze was recently purchased.

"and make sure you put in there that i JUST bought that ****."

When he stepped on his glasses...

Did he also take his lunch money and give him a wedgie?

Re: NFL Off Topic

Chad Johnson was one of the NFL’s most popular players during playing days, so plenty of people know what the former wide receiver looks like. But that didn’t stop a Miami man from trying to steal Johnson’s identity.

Mervin Cabe, 25, was arrested Friday after attempting to purchase $18,548 worth of items at a Louis Vuitton store in Aspen, Colo., the Aspen Times reported. Customers at the luxury retail store must have a “profile ID” to shop there, and even though Cabe was unable to provide the correct phone number for Johnson’s account, he still was allowed to pay. Cabe tried to use a credit card that was denied twice, according to the Times, but he successfully paid with an Apple Pay account.

Cabe identified himself to police as Chad Johnson, too, though you might notice there’s not much of a resemblance between the two.

Spoiler

The affidavit for the case says Cabe “kept making excuses and repeating the same nonsensical story” to police but eventually told a sergeant, “You’re going to have to take me … to jail. I’ve done something bad.”

Cabe was charged with two felonies, identity theft and unauthorized use of a financial transaction device, but Johnson said he wants to bail the guy out.

Chad Johnson ✔ @ochocinco I should bail dude out & be his mentor & introduce him to my lifestyle of frugality & freedom outside of society's standards. 11:29 AM - 19 Jul 2017 185 185 Retweets 769 769 likes

Come on man!!! In Miami too, where I'm sure MANY people know Chad. He should've booked a flight to Utah to try that.
