    He was technically with one NFL team longer than Jason Hanson. However, Williams played in three other leagues.

    When I was in the Army back in 2006 they found an old Staff Sergeant who left the service without concluding his paperwork, so they sent him back to the last active unit in his Brigade(Which was mine) so that he could do out processing/seperation paper work. I got to spend all week escorting a Vietnam vet around Fort Richardson and hearing about how “the good ol days” weren’t as good as people think, and about having kids, grand kids, and so fourth. It was a real honor.

    I can’t believe we’re giving up on a promising first round pick less than seventeen games into his career

    Can’t wait for the post on the Titans sub “Tackle released should we sign him”. Full of idiots over there!

    It’s actually kind of an interesting story. Drafted, played, got popped for smoking weed, suspended, popped for it again, then went on the exempt list and the team changed ownership in the middle of it, he never applied for reinstatement for whatever reason and he just kinda… fell through the cracks. Crazy.

    The Dodgers have been keeping Andrew Toles under contract even though he hasn’t played since 2018. He’s been dealing with some serious mental health issues(schizophrenia if I remember correctly) and the Dodgers have kept him on the roster so he can keep getting health insurance.

    Gonna be some good trivia right? Who was the longest tenured player in Eagles history, something like that?

    Do we know why he never applied to be reinstated? I would imagine he just didn’t want to play football but apparently he went to the XFL and CFL for a bit
