Daryl Washington to be Reinstated in March - Pequeno

[Dan H]

CAN you cut a suspended player? I'd think there'd be something in the CBA about that.

Yes, from what I gather, but you fast forward the CAP implications.

 

[Buckybird]

But you can't put CAP BS aside because cutting DWashout before this season was a BIG hit to the CAP. It's simply smart business.

Yep

Odds are he won't be reinstated anyway. The sooner the Cardinals can cut ties with him, the better.

Fake news no doubt.

Alternate facts

Alternative fake news?

Correct, but in this instance all of his guaranteed money is "paid" or no longer part of the cap (a signing bonus in this instance, right?), which is why he'll be cut. All of that guaranteed money would have been accelerated against the cap the year he was cut prior to this year.

The Card's were relieved from the salary side of his deal and have taken a CAP charge for his bonus. Haven't checked Spotrac for what, if anything is left to account for.

Cut him & then resign him to the vet minimum. Best ILB we've had. Could really use him on our way to Superbowl LII.

 

[Harry]

He is still ineligible to play.

The above situation is the only situation that I would be pissed. Cap BS aside, if they thought what he did was bad enough and wanted to cut him, then they should have done it long ago on pure principle. If they wait 3-4 years for him to be reinstated and then cut him, that's ridiculous. They had no problem cutting ties with M Floyd, Dwyer, etc...
At this point, if he gets reinstated, they might as well try getting some production out of him.

So you think the team should penalize themselves because of a selfish player? The crazy and that is exactly why AB did not get suspended by Pitt after his little Facebook episode. You don't penalize the team or the player that are in good graces.

This just shows you how stupid Dwaste really is. He's suddenly telling the media he's going to get reinstated lol.

How much you wanna bet he's just out of money that's why he's suddenly reappeared so eager to wipe the slate clean

 

[Blotto]

He's done this once before and the league and team knew nothing of it.


Waste of amazing talent.

That was my 1st thought as well... hasn't played football since 2013 & wasn't willing to do what he needed to get re-instated. The only thing that would probably change that now is if he needs the money.

 

[Veer]

I don't care if he is out of money or whatsoever. IF he is reinstated at all, he should get the chance to compete for a roster spot in camp. It's a big IF, but stranger things have happened. If he's out of shape or makes another mistake, he is done anyway. If he's only partially the player has has been before, it would be a mistake to not consider him. It's not like we don't need ILB and special teams help.
