Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - 12/27: Aaron Rodgers should be on the Cleveland Browns

Bernstein is talking about it.

For those that don't know, once you pull a player off IR, you can't put him back on for the same injury. Which is what the Packers did.

If a team does this, that team has to be released. Then he's on waivers. So the team with the worst record gets the first claim.

So, if I'm the Browns, I'm suing the league in order to get Aaron Rodgers. Why the hell wouldn't they do it.

They are fine. Rodgers isn't going anywhere. Don't be this dumb.

I'm just saying, if the Browns wanted to sue the NFL, the judge would rule in their favor. Because it is an NFL rule. If I'm the Browns, why the hell wouldn't they do it to get Aaron Rodgers? They would be the dumb asses not to do it.

Yeah. The Packers did mess this up and the Browns should fight it.

As with other NFL issues, "ignorance is not an excuse".

? But if that’s what the Packers did, why shouldn’t he be going anywhere ?

Because the NFL and/or a judge isn't going to make the Packers release Aaron Rodgers. This story will go away with a fine or loss of draft pick or something like that.

So it’s a rule but not really a rule .

Do you agree that by rule they should though?

It is a rule, but because its the Packers the NFL will allow them to do whatever they want.

The catch rule(s) is/are dumb too, but that doesn't stop the NFL from enforcing them they way they are written in the rule book.

Why? Why all of a sudden should the NFL chose what rules to enforce and not enforce?

And I noticed you cherry picked and did not quote this statement;

I don't know. I haven't looked into it much since it's obvious Rodgers isn't going anywhere.

It's a huge story if the NFL is giving preferential treatment around a star player that broke a clear rule. I agree they aren't likely to force him to be released but you have to understand why this would be talked about.

The NFL has ruled otherwise in other situations regarding improper transactions.

Right. But the Packers made the mistake of admitting it was the same injury. If they just made up some other injury, they'd be fine.

Bernstein is making this too complicated. The Packers didn't need a doctor to lie about a fake injury. All the Packers had to say was he tweaked his hamstring and that's why he's going back on IR. That's something that you don't need a doctor for.

It's like a Disney movie come to life. Like when Banks had to play for District 5 in the Mighty Ducks. Rodgers goes to Cleveland and ends up winning a Superbowl next season.

The Bears once lost a free agent because Jerry Angelo didn't check a box when they sent it into the league.

The Browns probably won't sue. But a Judge would absolutely rule in their favor if they did. Browns won't sue cuz they think it's unfair and in poor taste. But if I'm the shitty Browns that haven't won in decades I'm saying "Fuck it. Let's get Aaron Rodgers"

This rule has only been around for 2 years. When the NFL decided to let IR be for 8 weeks. Before the IR meant the entire season. And they have this rule so teams can't stash players that they don't want to lose. But all you have to do is make up shit. So the Packers are dumb.
