Whoa, the Chiefs cut Brandon Flowers. I wouldn't mind to see the Broncos go get him at the right price. This makes me think that the Chiefs may be trying to get more serious about extending Alex Smith, since they haven't had the cap room to do yet. It also makes me wonder that if Dee Ford impresses in training camp, that Tamba Hali could be next.

Ha. So Jimmy Graham has TE listed on his Twitter bio, and now that might cost him five million in this franchise tag ordeal.

And on a similar note, selfishly I want Graham to lose his appeal because I think there's a very good chance the Broncos will franchise tag Julius Thomas next offseason.

That doesn't really matter though because the only reason this is an issue is that the Saints list him as a TE as well. Per the labor agreement he's a receiver. If he loses I hope he sues in federal court.

On July 3, Mary Kay Cabot reported this.

Sources close to Gordon have told cleveland.com they're concerned that if he's away from the team for a year and away from his support system, that he'll have a tough time making it back into the NFL.
The sources point to Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon, the former first-round pick, who was suspended indefinitely in November of 2013 for violating the substance abuse policy and isn't expected to be re-instated in 2014. The Jaguars aren't counting on Blackmon and have moved on from him.
Less than two days later, this happened:
This is getting sad. It makes you think that there needs to somehow be a better support system for suspended players. Of course, if Gordon was busted for repeatedly smoking weed he shouldn't have been suspended in the first place...

I have a real hard time feeling sorry or sad for any one of them....
A 4 game suspension seems like a decent trade off for getting Dion Jordan (a lot) bigger.
