@GabeyCardStacks Tons of other posts about how it's highway robbery. Those guys are trying to compare it to 2015 Topps prices. Apparently they haven't bought football cards in a while.

This is interesting. It feels like it’s obvious that Frank retired because he was physically fighting through injuries and pain, and it got to a point that he no longer could play the game in an enjoyable, effective, or healthy way. The whole purpose of a signing bonus is to be a guarantee up front that insures a salary irregardless of performance metrics, or most importantly injuries that could compromise your career in the future. What makes this interesting is that Frank likely retired “voluntarily”, meaning, he wasn’t declared medically unfit to play by a doctor, which allows the team to ask for a prorated amount of his signing bonus back. Had he been medically deemed unfit to play football by a doctor before he retired, the team wouldn’t be able to recoup part of the signing bonus. Let me say this first, if a player truly just retires without reason, or because they’ve lost the desire to play, I completely get and acknowledge teams should be able to recoup compensation when players don’t fulfill there contractual obligations and agreements. However, Frank was known for being hurt and playing through injuries most players wouldn’t play through constantly. Broken foot, a torn pec, multiple knee injuries, back issues. There was always something, and I’m sure he was continuously dealing with multiple ailments to try and continue playing the game. His body clearly had deteriorated to a degree that made football no longer a viable option, physically, and probably mentally. In my opinion, the signing bonus is supposed to protect players from future physical ailments limiting their availability on the field, that’s one of the reasons you want more guaranteed money upfront. So while I get that the team has a right to ask for money back, in the spirit of the agreement, I think it’s bullshit Frank is being asked to return money. This was clearly a player that the game had physically taken its toll on, and his body was clearly no longer holding up to the rigors of the NFL. It wasn’t just some player deciding he didn’t want to play anymore, it wasn’t that simple, and these signing bonuses are there to protect players from the inevitable injuries they incur on the field.

The #Lions made Frank Ragnow return part of his signing bonus after retiring early, continuing a franchise policy that dates back to Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, per President Rod Wood, via @DaveBirkett: “Our precedent goes all the way back to Barry Sanders… And I think the reality is, they’re not paying back their money, they’re returning our money, because they were paid in advance for services that they hadn’t completed.” More here: freep.com/story/sports/n…

@barstoolsports CB Bucknor's incompetence, coupled with his union protections, could not come at a worse time for the NFL Referees negotiations.

@BigBobsCards What’s wrong with that? People who agree to a deal and then continue to shop it around and eventually back out to sell for higher are scum. He obviously has no chance to win any kind of lawsuit but even just putting some fear into the heart of someone who does that is great imo.

In huge @JudicialWatch victory, Fifth Circuit already found counting ballots received AFTER Election Day is unlawful. Today, SCOTUS will decide whether to take up another JW case tied to Illinois's counting ballots that arrive for up to 14 days after Election Day!

@SleeperNFL Absolutely agree about Lane Johnson, but how the hell aren't there more Joe Thuney votes?

@startkyIeorton I would think that, at least in part, is that he turned down $5-6m NIL to enter the draft. Draftniks see that, and assume that someone assured the agent he'd go in the 1st.

Well see simpson makes "NFL throws" (he's willing to rip a backside dig) which is always attractive to teams nowadays when most prospects avoid the MOF like the plague but once he's in the league that's not really a superpower anymore its just meeting the minimum standard
Tokyo Cyber 8man@jamaloh_james

@startkyIeorton It's been a while since I've seen a guy scouts are forcing in to the 1st rd more than him. At least with a guy like EJ Manuel I could sort of understand it. Just do not know what anyone sees in Simpson with the limited tape he had

@BearsShowYo When Ben said clearly that he and Burden would progress slowly, because both missed OTAs and a chunk of training camp.
