Seems Elliot was denied an injunction so it seems the 6 game suspension is back on, or can it change again?

Has 24 hours to appeal to second district court but same court threw out tb12 and said cba effectively can do whatever it wants

As a cowboys fan I'm resigned to Zeke now serving the 6 games

As an NFL fan I think Goddell is now in a situation where the two most powerful owners (Kraft and Jones) are gunning for him

Draft in Dallas will be fun,goddell mightn't be heard for any picks... over the boooooing

That’s probably the outcome from the Brady/Zeke suspension; if the Commissioner wants to suspend you, then that’s what happens.

It’s gonna make the next CBS interesting, cause the Commissioners powers may be reduced as I’d imagine it’ll be high on the NFLPA’s agenda (after more money of course).

j8wk2feszrnpao · 31-10-2017 07:24AM

So Jimmy to the 49ers and the Pats bring in Kap as back up.

adrian522 · 31-10-2017 08:03AM

Wow. didn't expect that, not sure how I feel about it to be honest.

Anyone know which 2nd round pick SF has traded? they have their own and the new Orleans pick.

jack presley · 31-10-2017 08:18AM

This trade probably rules out the Cousins/Shanahan reunion next season too.

31-10-2017 08:43AM

So who's favs for cousins now? Jags,skins I would imagine but I think he has lost some major leverage with this

Redskins still seem unsure so jags a possibility unless bortles has a monster season,, it's career suicide to go to the browns even for the cash,

Colts be a shout if they trade luck away

I think he’s more unsure about them than they are about him. I don’t think he really wants to be there long term despite what he’s said so I can’t see him in Washington next season.

I don’t know much about the available cap space on each team but would Denver take a look? Maybe Pittsburgh if Ben decides he actually will retire?

Knex* · 31-10-2017 09:29AM

Think that's massive news with the Jimmy Garoppolo trade. Browns fans must be scratching their heads as well. They've passed on Wentz, Watson, and now missed on Garoppolo for only a 2nd rounder after being linked with him all offseason.

I'd be furious if I was a Cleveland fan.

I’d imagine they’re kind of resigned to ineptitude at this stage and probably just shrug their shoulders and expect nothing more.

Cleveland need to nail the next draft with their treasure trove of picks: 2 in the first round and 3 in the second round.

Credit to Elway for putting together that offense in 2013 and the D in 2015. But three bads years for their offense has left their D down (which they made up for in the SB run). And now they may have to turn to Brock!

Duane Brown to the Seahawks as well for Jeremy Lane, this year's 5th and next years 2nd.

That seems like a good deal for the Texans? Brown is 32.

Jeremy Lane has been pretty poor for a while, but I'd agree that's its a decent haul for Houston.

thomond2006 · 31-10-2017 10:25AM

Dolphins @ Raiders is SNF. Can NBC not flex out of that? That's a terrible matchup.

Edit: Maybe terrible is too strong, but certainly not a good one.

31-10-2017 10:55AM

Seahawks had to stop Wilson from getting killed anyway

Denver for cousins is interesting alright

D9Male · 31-10-2017 11:04AM

Just watched Denver now and Cousins would be a good fit assuming they have the cash. Their RB's and WR's are fine, defence capable, but they need to upgrade their OL before they put anyone valuable under centre.

Paully D · 31-10-2017 01:27PM

Ajayi has been traded to the Eagles for a 4th rounder.

NapoleonInRags · 31-10-2017 01:50PM

I've heard Ajayi is a bit of a pri*k in the dressing room - but a fourth round pick???

Knex* · 31-10-2017 01:57PM

What on earth are Miami doing.

Also, I'd have taken there hand off for that deal with the Giants

Blount and Ajay in the same backfield and Wentz at QB. Eagles are doing everything right this year.

He's going to a pretty solid locker room not though going from the likes of suh to Jenkins, peters, wentz is a big deal

If peters hadn't gotten hurt I would be more blindly excited I'm curious to see how this line goes with big v

Foxtrol · 31-10-2017 02:43PM

I think his knees are a mess but with the better line and other runners to support he will be a great addition for the rest of this contract.

I somewhat understand the Dolphins cutting ties with him but not for a 4th.

thomond2006 · 31-10-2017 02:47PM

Ajayi is on a cheap contract for the next two seasons. What a steal.

Are the Dolphins really tanking @4-3?
