Default OT: NFL grants Giants & Jets extensions on roster cuts

NFL.com news: Giants cut five, have until Friday to reduce roster to 80

Quote:
Because the Giants' preseason finale is Thursday night in New England, the commissioner says the Giants and Jets can keep 85 players until 4 p.m. Friday.
Sigh...

I bash the Ommissioner when he screws up. Props to him here for doing the right thing.

I don't know ... they split the difference, so in and of itself it's not that big a deal. The biggest issue to me continues to be that Goodell has failed to distance himself from those teams (the Jets in particular), so as a result anything that involves them results in unnecessary scrutiny and speculation.

Just to flesh out my earlier post: this is hurricane related. The game got pushed back a day. It's unfair that the Jets and Giants will be playing both on a Monday and a Thursday. Easing the roster cuts will allow some players who were probably gone to get one last game to show something, and it will allow the starters to get more rest, as they deserve.

I want Goodell gone, but I don't see any issue here. Just my $.02

I really hope we've moved on from thinking the commissioner is a secretly working for the Jets...

My mistake. I thought it had been a Sunday game.

He can let the Jets keep 90 players all season, they will still suck.

Nah, I just hate extensions in all forms. Probably because of that squeaky wheel student who always was getting extensions on assignments. I just think people should get stuff done instead of going to get their get-out-of-deadline free card. After all, their game was only 1 day later than ours. Plus they both played at home.
