It's probably collusion.
But you have to prove it otherwise it's moot. I don't think they'll be able to prove it. Especially if their contract demands exceed what teams declare they're worth. [Reply]

You’re missing my point.
It’s not about whether or not I think collusion occurred. It’s about whether or not he can PROVE it happened. When guys like Boston and Vaccaro aren’t signed either and past history shows that the owners can’t agree on ANYTHING, EVER he simply doesn’t have a case. [Reply]

If they did collude, it would be clever to agree to just not sign safeties over some threshold price so that their Eric Reid blackball is harder to detect. I'm with you on the proof issue though. [Reply]
I’m not saying there’s no collusion at all but let’s be realistic. In a league with Jerry Jones alone, proving that all 32 teams agreed on anything will be impossible primarily because it has never happened. I definitely think there are teams that don’t want him because of the kneeling but like-mindedness is not collusion. [Reply]

I assure you that didn't happen. It's called a free market with a private sector company(NFL) i.e. to capitalism. And any CEO that is worth his salt that wants to sell more of his product(a la his team) to the public stays away from trying to sell a product that is "hot garbage". It is very simple to understand. Kap made his own bed and chose the wrong forum.
This is how he should have handled it just like his predecessors did in the 60's.

From the free agent CBs still out there, Breshaud looks to be one of the better options.
So if a team like the Chiefs thought that Breeland can be a good CB for them, why not sign him and let the team doctors take care of his foot and get it healed? Either teams don't think that highly of Breeland or that foot is really, really messed up. [Reply]

Reid kind of jumped the gun on his collusion thing.. should have waited until the season started. A lot of teams were just waiting to see how the draft would unfold I think.
Kap is a special case, since he went out of his way to alienate damn near everyone with a whole litany of stupid things. [Reply]

I read that he got a nasty infection. I believe the concern is MRSA and not having that in a locker room. [Reply]
