Day 942 of the Earl watch..........

You sure it does not feel a day over 925

why did the frog think the scorpion wouldn't sting him.

This is an unwise assumption because this type of logic can be applied to many players who keep finding themselves bouncing around or in and out of the league. Josh Gordon could have been one of the best WRs in football and yet he can't keep his crap straight.

maybe not applies to everyone but definitely a fair consideration....what more could a player dream to accomplish than what he has? Seems pretty much like he has checked all the boxes except the hot one.

well maybe the frog should have put on some armor to protect himself in case the scorpion turned out to be an awesome person

lol. or just avoided the problem altogether in the first place.

kinda hard when the frog is addictied to scorpion venom and the scorpion loves frog legs

yup....just lots of speculation going on out there....no reason to get excited until a credible source states an official visit is scheduled

It's perfect.. If he wants in the league he will know he has to walk a fine line.

The guy was in the league for so long and we never heard a peep until he told Garrett come get me.. It's been kind of down hill from there for him.

Adding Earl to this team is huge and people thinking a 31 year old HOF safety is washed up is a joke. He's probably got 4 quality years left in him as most guys with his pedigree do.

Ed Reed, a similar player, played well into his 30's and we didn't see a real dip until Houston picked him up at age 35 or 36.

I would pay him the money, but ET would need to be willing to sign a contract Laden with opt outs.

Turner is not one to float nonsense for clicks. I believe his source told him this. Doesn't mean it will happen. We'll see...

I usually think the same thing in this situation. There's a lot of NFL players (and DC players) in the past to use in that example, however I think this situation is a little different. ET has been a great/proven player in the league for several years with no or off field issues. He got jolted by the hags and injured on top of that which probably the worst timing possible for him. I'm not sure what caused his disgruntlement in Balt however he's always been pushing to be a DC. At least give it a look. Give him a chance to explain himself behind closed doors and if you smell bad blood, move on.

Locker room cancer. Huge mistake.

I don’t think the benefit out weighs the risks
And I think he’s a great player
But if you look at all that’s gone on with him it’s much more than a camp fight
It’s extremely unstable and disruptive behavior
And a team took a massive cap hit to get rid of him
That’s about as big a red flag as you can get

And that's why he has been kind of wishy washy. He's being told it's happening (the meeting) but he knows they still may not sign him. So he's hedging a little.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Earl will become a Cowboy over the weekend......

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He's reporting things he doesn't know for sure. Shoddy journalism.

My gosh, I thought your brand of inanity was confined to your campaign of misinformation in the other forum; I see it knows no bounds.

 

[MarcusRock]

Did we get word of an official visit with Griffen? Why are people in here so afraid of getting their hearts broken over this? Lol. Same with the fearmongers talking about team chemistry, etc. If he doesn't fit then you move to quit (release him - but that other part rhymed).

 

[Maverick84]

my interest is piqued.

this is a family forum.

Juan Thornhill, Juan Thornhill, Juan Thornhill.

If we drafted Juan Thornhill, I would still bring in ET.

No misinformation from me. You have me confused with a few of the others, and yourself, perhaps.

What exactly about my post was misinformation? It was 100% factual. He admits he doesn't know. It's right there for everyone, INCLUDING YOU, to read. It's his own freaking words.
