The team sucking it up the past few games gave him no incentive to get his act together; more than likely his attitude worsened thinking they needed his services.......

Interesting move. I honestly wonder if he's dealing with some sort of mental or emotional disorder. Otherwise, why not just cut his ass instead of going with IR?

When I saw the title "Done..." I thought that meant cut or kicked off the team. Guess nobody else wanted him?

Lol how does the team keep doing that!?

"If we wanna gamble early on a guy that is not a solid all-around draft pick, then let's just NOT DRAFT THAT GUY" should be their motto from here on out.

All these second pick/round issues with these players are incredible.

Mayhew = Millen
A couple no brainer high draft picks and a load of hot garbage.

Speaking of wide receivers, chad johnson is on first take and is clowning his own self. He obviously calculated the timing on joining the panel (this is the time everyone is injured and teams need to pick up guys ex: detroit) and hoping to prove that he's changed, but he is fighting them with every question they ask. The whole thing is blowing up in his face and it's pretty sad.

Saw that, shouldve retired after he wasnt able to produce with Brady throwing at him

Schwartz: yes unless he doesnt show up for it. lmao...hillarious.


YOUNG TO HAVE SURGERY
The Lions ended the Titus Young's tumultuous season Tuesday when they placed the second-year receiver on injured reserve.

Schwartz said Wednesday that Young is likely to have surgery on a knee injury that plagued him all season.

"Yeah, most likely," Schwartz said. "Yes, unless he doesn't show up for it."

It was a telling comment for just how much confidence Schwartz has lost in the talented, yet troubled, receiver.

"Very similar to Jason Fox last year with his knee," Schwartz said. "(It's) something that's been on the radar since the spring and we'll move on without him."

Young has been sent away from the team three times in the last year for disciplinary reasons.

Schwartz was asked if he would stay in contact with Young beyond his rehab.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," he replied.

i thought he made a lot of sense. Skip was being ridiculous trying to bait him into blaming philbin and the patriots. He told skip to fuck off and that it was all on himself. Listen to it again man....i thought he said all the right things.

Big difference between the two. Mayhew drafts guys who are slotted near where they get picked. Millen, on the other hand, took guys rounds ahead of where hey should have went.

He did, but it seemed like the smallest actual portion of his time on air. Stephen asked him what would he say to any team that may want his services for this or next year and he pretty much choked on the answer (I'm working on my issues and may not be there just yet physically, but I have humility..........what else do you want me to say?; something like that). The whole thing somehow kept going back to his marital issues and he seemed to be the one bringing it up the most trying to say that the situation changed him. Skip is always ridiculous though lol. Chad is crazy for even letting skip do that to him.

I wish he would have just put out a statement through his agent or something, because it looked like he was losing his cool trying to make his points (more than anything else).

With that said, I wouldn't have a problem with the team picking him up. This offense SURELY isn't as detailed as new england and he would work his ass off for obvious reasons.

We are so poor at WR now it doesn't matter who comes in, don't even worry about option reads and stuff like that we just need bodies so everyone in the back 7 isn't covering Calvin. Wonder if we can run on 4 in the box?
