What a waste Bryant turned out to be... Good Riddance!

Along the lines of what Jeff Gollin was refering to, Bryant saw an opportunity to take the NFL (specifically the Cardinals) for major bucks without having to put out much effort. He had talent; but he chose to not really put it to use in the NFL. He can thank the Bidwill's for the seed money he recieved for his chosen profession; which certainly wasn't football.

Cases such as Bryant make me think that something ought to be done with the next CBA with the players union about the guaranteed money that high draft picks are getting, while veterans get squeezed out.

PS.
- Regarding the timing of Bryant's release - if think that it possibly was related to the finalizing of both the rookie contracts and Boldin's extention, i.e. - Cardinal's had better knowledge of how much room was left on the cap to make the move.

Good point. Boldin's cap number for this season is certainly lower than expected, so that might have had something to do with the timing of Bryant release..

BTW. Bryant is from Winconsin and the Packers are having problems with both Cletius Hunt and Grady Jackson (both missed mini-camp and have threatened to hold out - I don't think they are however). My guess is that the Packer are bringing Bryant to camp in the next couple of days.

Move over Kelly (Stouffer), Leeland (McElroy), Anthony (Bell) and Clyde (Duncan) and make room for Wendell.

Top 5 busts in my book.

Dont forget about Wadsworth.

I can't put Wadsworth in this category - his career was ruined by injury - with out that, he would be a great player.

This is about Bryant being a bust in his days here. But also about Kenny King coming back healthy. Lets hope he stays that way! :D

Unless Calvin Pace finds a way onto the field and really turns it on this season, I wouldn't answer the phone the weekend before training camp next year if I were him... :eek:

First I heard of that!

It would make perfect sense when considering why Bryant was not cut earlier, he cut himself with his wee-wee.

Any link on this "test"?

XTRA 910 reported that Bryant faces suspension for failing another test. Make his release quite different from Kendall's doesn't it Mr. Urban? I am sure URban will be retracting his statements tomorrow?

Urban probably will.

I'm guessing King will back-up both DT spots? They did say they wanted to get King on the field more often.

I highly doubt it. Kolodziej is almost exactly the same size as King. I guess we'll know next week, but I think King is behind Dockett and Kolodziej behind Davis.

On the depth chart you would be right. But I would bet we will see King lining up on the 5-man front and even next to Dockett more than Ross Kolo will be.

I think King will get a lot of action on passing downs. 3rd and long will be Berry, Dockett, King and Okeafor.

Somewhat surprised...

Not that Bryant was cut but over the timing.

This smells of sending a message like Kendell last year. I just have a hard time believing that they didn't realize Wendell didn't fit the D earlier and I have a very hard time believing an improved Bryant is worse than Kolodziej.
.


Well MJ just ripped that to shreds.. Wendall tested postive for alcohol and would have been suspended.

DG was willing to bring Wendell to camp

Wendell had dedicated himself to working out all offseason, but he was a liability.
