Is Oher Near The End?

LT Michael Oher of the Carolina Panthers posted a disturbing photo of pill bottles on social media with a very strange comment. He removed it shorty after, but it had already gone viral.

Oher was commenting on the medications he was taking to deal with a concussion suffered last September. He is still in the NFL concussion protocol and has not been cleared for any football activities.

Team officials said their biggest concern is the health of Oher. Given his situation, it looks like his career is in great danger.

Not Running To Revis

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is trying to lure free agent CB Darrelle Revis to Dallas. It doesn't matter that owner Jerry Jones has not pulled out his wallet to sign the former Jet.

Revis doesn't have any options at this point. He should sign with any team that offers him a contract. He needs to prove himself for anything after 2017.

Jets Going Down

It must be very discouraging to be a fan of the New York Jets. The team is in the process of being gutted from the top down.

Many pundits think the team could go 0-16. There is talk of tanking the season in order to get a marque quarterback in 2018.

Fans deserve better than this. The Jets need to put the best product on the field. They are losing credibility real fast with their actions.

Nobody Is The Greatest

I think it's foolish talk to say Tom Brady is the greatest player of all time. You could talk for hours whether he is the best quarterback.

NBA star LeBron James weighed in on whether Brady is the greatest athlete ever. LeBron said he is the best quarterback, but called Brady a one-sided player since he only plays the offensive aspect of his chosen game.

I think LeBron made a very good point.

Maybe His Last Contract

Julian Edelman got a two year contract extension through the end of the 2019 season. He will be 33 by then and very old by NFL standards for slot receivers.

I love how the Pats gave him a chance to earn another $4 million this season with certain achievements.

Will he even have a spot on the team after 2019?

Odell's Move

The Giants have their mini-camp coming up. Will Odell Beckham Jr stay away in protest of his contract? He has made it known that he has outperformed his rookie deal.

His salary of $1.8 million  places him behind 40 other receivers. The Giants don't need to do anything because he is obligated to them for this season.

It remains to be seen what Odell does.

The Coaching Family

Bill Belichick has always said how he prefers to have a smaller coaching staff. His son Steven became the safeties coach last season. His son Brian, who was a staff assistant, will be a coach this season, although his duties have not been disclosed.

This is bound to promote discussion. Fans should be happy that Bill is with his two sons. After 17 seasons as head coach, he shows no signs of slowing down. He enjoys working with them. This is bound to extend his time with the Pats.

Kraft Is 76

Pats owner Robert Kraft turned 76 today. I wonder if he ever thought his life would end up this way. He is worth over $4 billion.

Did he ever think his team would win five Super Bowls and have the Brady/Belichick era? Many thought he overpaid for the team when he bought it in 1994. The rest is history.

Vick Wants A Chance

Michael Vick announced his retirement this year after failing to sign with a team in 2016. His 13 year career has ended at 36.

There is talk about him signing a one day contract with the Atlanta Falcons to retire as a member of the team that drafted him.

He has expressed a desire to coach in the NFL and would like to work with quarterbacks. Based on his previous issues, I wonder if he will ever get the opportunity from a team. He has a lot to offer.

Dollar Day For Gronk

Yesterday was National Donut Day. There seems to be a day for anything. That's great news for Rob Gronkowski who is the poster boy for Dunkin Donuts.

The featured him in some print ads and social media posts. It means dollars in his pocket. Gronk is such a financial success. He often says that he has never spent one dollar of his NFL money. He lives off his endorsements and appearance fees.

That is so refreshing to hear. Too many players blow their money on frivolous things and are broke after they retire.

Vince's Day Is Coming

Vince Wilfork said that he is taking his time to decide his future in the NFL. A 35 year old free agent doesn't usually get too many offers. He can take all the time he wants to decide his future plans.

I think he has a bright future if he hangs it up. He has been doing a few commercials on the NFL Network.

The time has arrived for him. He should sign a one day contract with the Pats and retire.

Giant Honesty

I commend Giants owner John Mara for being honest with the media when he said that the team would not sign controversial QB Colin Kaepernick because of concerns from fans.

He said the team received numerous letters from fans who protested the possible action.

There is no doubt that Kaepernick is controversial. So many teams have stayed silent on this issue. The Seahawks are rumored to sign him.

At least Mara was honest with everyone.
