What happened?

 

[TB12TheGoat]

what the ****?

 

[fnordcircle]

Take Stork with you too before he Mike Wright's on us.

 

[TBR]

what the ****?

Not Shane, in case that's who you thought it was. But his brother Brock...

 

[Froob]

In before the NFL denies Brock is retiring.

 

[Joey007]

Weird, especially since he was just out there last Thursday.

 

[Reckedtrek]

Time to update my PatsPicker predictions!

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Now we have an open roster spot. What will BB do?

 

[Love The Drake]

Welcome Leblanc to the roster

 

[signbabybrady]

He looked decent this camp too. Probably wasn't gonna make it still.

 

[Ross12]

Was having a decent camp... could've made it on a roster, maybe not this one. Strange that his RB brother keeps playing while he retires.

In before the NFL denies Brock is retiring.

He'll just add another name and if the person objects, he'll suspend him for the season....per his authority in article 46.

I had no idea Brock Vereen was a veteran o-lineman. Go figure.

he seems to have retired from football

This will get play as a "smart move" even though we do not know the details.. if you look at his NFL history, he was drafted by the Bears in the 4th round('14) and then waived('15), picked up by Minnesota and then waived in Nov.'15 and then signed to a futures contract by the Pats...

You do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows..

Maybe he decided to walk away on his own terms ( retire) versus being cut...............

That was my point.. walk away rather than being forced away.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

That was my point.. walk away rather than being forced away.

Yeah and for the rest of his life he can say, " I retired from the NFL" rather than "I got cut".....

(I do agree with you once in a while- maybe not in the PoFo...)

 

[DarrylS]

Yeah and for the rest of his life he can say, " I retired from the NFL" rather than "I got cut".....

Not sure he would add the last part of your quote.. "I decided to walk away from the NFL to pursue other interests"...

The average length or time in the NFL is something like 3.5 years...
