He's a good 2nd TE who can block and catch passes. You still have Croom as a possible receiving TE but I'd love to draft one who is an all around player. Croom is still in doubt as a full time player IMO. I'd love this signing.

That's a very good 4th round. I still believe Jawaan Taylor, will make the 2nd or late first. Let see how he moves at the combine.

Depends on the QBs. 9 is a good spot for Lbers. Patrick Willis was 11, Luke Kuechly was 9, and Roquan Smith was 8. All ran 4.5 and all might be slightly better than White.

Haven't paid much attention to his signing. Do we know if they've said he'll be C or G?

I'd be in for 1. Wilkins - DT 2. Risner - OT 3. Kaden Smith - TE Stanford

No let Devin White play Thomas Davis' role as a natural outside stack.

Christian Wilkins, also has a great personality. He's one of them happy go lucky types. He's similar to Tre White in that way.

IDK. What he was doing, taking the knee, wasn't against the CBA. I'd think they would have to get a new agreement under the CBA because they didn't have an official policy to stop him. When they tried a half measure, not televising the national anthem, or allowing teams to stay in the locker room during the NA, it made them look complicit or incompetent. If they gave him a big contract, in theory say he got a big contract, POTUS would talk about how the NFL "paid him big money to disrespect our country." They really had a no win situation with Kaepernick.

But we also know his level of play isn't what got him out of the league.

It's clear they didn't blackball him for his play on the field.

Also one last thing. I'm not trying to jump on you or anything but this just jumped into my mind... I believe the NFL has the right to suspend "indefinitely" as part of the CBA. So they could just say he's suspended until he's fifty.

The NFL has successfully defended the CBA in court many times. They would have to fight Rice to the supreme court because a loss to him would make the CBA invalid and college sophomores would be able to enter the draft and a bunch of other things they have won in court would fall. He would lose anyway but they'd have to fight with whatever it took to win.

And he would lose. It would be a waste of money to his lawyers.

No it's different for Rice. Rice violated the collective bargaining agreement.

This is kind of moronic. Antitrust and collusion laws are probably 100 years old. It has nothing to do with politics. If they could win the NFL would have taken it to court. It's just most of Trump's followers keep hearing "Collusion is not a crime" and it's wrong. Collusion is a crime. You won't get jail time in most collusion cases so conservatives in the media know Trump would never be charged with a crime that is impeachable for collusion. Collusion is usually financial crimes and conservatives in the media know this so it doesn't matter if they lie a little. What they have to get Trump on is conspiracy. Collusion that lead to a high crime, like hacking.

Good. Now draft a good young all around TE, or two.

It's not the firing. It's not discrimination of his beliefs or race or any of those things. It's preventing him from working that is illegal. It's part of the antitrust laws. In short, the NFL is given a special charter by the government which allows it to have a monopoly. In Kaepernick's case they used this monopoly to prevent him from working. It's illegal. Anyway that how my small brain see it. I could be completely wrong.

They settle so they won't have get embarrassed in civil court where the details become public.

They hired the Dline coach as head coach. LMAO.

It doesn't work how you have it in your head. That's not how civil court works. If he can prove they collude to stop him from playing that's all he needs. His career is irrelevant in court. You know how if a bum gets hit by a car he still gets paid? If a bum loses his arm he still get potential earnings in civil court. Also, pain and suffering. Kaepernick probably argued NFL ruined his reputation and other things I'm not smart enough to know.

Look at the post above this. Rumors are 60-80M. Which is about right. He was making ~15M. 15MX5yrs is between 60-80M

Rumors say 60-80M for Kaepernick.

$5M? I bet it's closer to $25M. Or more. He stopped playing at the prime age for a QB. He probably asked for at least 5 years worth of salary. This is not true. They prove collusion all the time in business. The difficult part is making it a crime punishable with jail time. Civil court is easier.

They were going to lose in court. Collusion is a crime. It's highly litigated in the business world.

Tyrod is one of the biggest. The biggest is POTUS.
