Yeh I agree. It seems to me they learned about the details of the case about when the rest of us did. And I'm very willing to believe that a 6th round punter doesn't get much in the way of allocation of background resources.
A coherent timeline of what they knew and when they knew it is hardly what I'd call instant gratification. Again, I realize that would be more than an NFL front office might usually be willing to share but this is a unique situation.
I'm not really in a position to say what we as fans are owed, but I'm pretty confident that continuing to repeat 'we have more work to do' doesn't serve their short or long term goals.
They don't have to explain every decision that went into where they find themselves today but a candid statement on a coherent timeline would be entirely appropriate imo.
I think they can credibly claim they didn't have all the info until recently. If he's no longer with the team I don't think there's too much they can be blamed for going forward.
I agree that they (knowingly or not) definitely did this to themselves. They should be doing damage control right now to limit their exposure going forward.
