Edelman facing 4 game suspension

[Ring 6]

You, Kontra, and a 3rd poster have suggested this. I am starting to think it could happen.

No I think he will practice in camp. If he gets reinjured then it’s IR or cut.

I'd prefer that folks would follow the rules, but I'm not going to judge a player for taking banned substance for the purpose of getting better quicker/faster.

Agreed. What SHOULD be allowed are substances that help players heal faster/better from injury. What should NOT be allowed are steroids, etc. that bulk players up artificially.

TBH that's always been my feeling about HGH therapy when recovering from injury. Since it's about getting something back rather than getting an advantage. That said, if you use it and get caught with your hand in the cookie jar own it like Rodney rather than hanging it on your pregnant wife.

What do you have against hotdogs?

 

[Ring 6]

Why would you not put him on PUP-DFR?

What’s the point of keeping him around?
That would mean that he isn’t healthy enough to even practice before the end of August.

How about PEDs?

4 extra weeks to further evaluate at least one of Britt, Dorsett, Matthews, Patterson, McCarron & Barrio.

If I’m the anonymous 3rd poster (I’d wear a Hamburgler mask), then it’s not because I’m meaning to be pessimistic. I just think they’ve been patient with him already, and this would be year 3 of his chronic knee issues.

I guess I’m just concerned with his ability to stay healthy, that’s all. It may be hard to depend on him for the entire season, although he could be effective with the first 6 or so games off, I suppose.

Difference is, the Mannings faced no repercussions for their illegal activities.

fixed that for ya!

This was the first thought I had when I saw this story. The recovery has not gone they way he had hoped.

From what I've seen/read/heard, his recovery seems to have gone well.

Someone posted the Julian Edelman suspension news on Reddit yesterday

I saw it late last night, but I wasn’t about to bring it here and get everyone upset in case it wasn’t true.

I think if anything, his recovery has gone better than anyone expected—of course, according to the news last night, he may have been aided by some type of substance on the banned list to speed things up.

It’s only been like, 9 months since he became injured. The fact that he’s out there taking part in OTAs is impressive in itself.

That’s a really bad article. It was here, on the radio, and at least hinted at on Twitter before the Reddit guy chimed in.

It was here on the forum?

I saw it on reddit in the middle of the night. When did it make its way to the radio, Twitter, etc? I definitely didn’t see anything on the forum b/c I considered starting a thread, but didn’t want to pass bad info.

1. HGH promotes healing, not 'Roids.

2. The NFL does urine tests, HGH is not detectable in urine yet, at least reliably.

3. There have been positive tests from various nutritional supplements because the manufactures labeling is not reliable.

4. Even prescription drugs that are prescribed according to need may exceed the limits - think Brandon Spikes with Aderall.

5. Eating meats laced with hormones have caused innocent positive tests.

Let's get the facts before convicting.

Minicamp Team News thread

A media guy I know told me he got texts from his insiders that Edelman is being suspended for 4 games for Ped use and he is currently appealing it. Take it for what it's worth.

 

[Deus Irae]

I know Edelman is this forums god child...but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in him for not being more responsible at this stage in his adult life.

Is that because you have inside information, or because you have no idea how this stuff works? If it's the former, please share. If it's the latter, you should have listened to Ninkovich on WEEI this afternoon.

Looks like maust got the forum link for you. A caller mentioned it on Zo and Bertrand yesterday (so sometime between 10 and 2), and I see a few Twitter posts about 21 hours ago that mentioned it.

If he knee is degenerative then cut him.

If he needs more healing time like D Lew did in 2016 then PUP him

The only surprising part is that more players in the league don’t get busted.

Here's a couple of more from this year.

Chargers DT Corey Liuget suspended 4 games for PEDs

Also gives Berrios and Matthews more time with Brady. Really not worried about it, nor am I worried about moronic haters tweeting Cheatriots again. No other team gets caught for PEDs
