Texans waived RB D'Onta Foreman. Reports say that the coach was not happy with his work ethic.

Wow! Just WOW!
One of the hardest workers at Texas and should have won a Heisman. You don't get to that level with poor work ethic. I love my Texans but god I hate O'Brien

I predict he'll be snapped up in a jiffy.
Don't be so sure, I have seen reports that he was way out of shape coming off the achilles injury and was still having issues last year. It could be he just doesn't make it back to what he was, it is not unusual for Rbs and Wrs to have lingering issues from achilles injuries

Interesting - So Tom Brady's 3 year deal is actually a ONE year deal. It automatically voids at the end of this season, and it states in language that the team cannot place a franchise or transition tag on him.

So this was basically a way to get him a raise THIS year. and he will be a full FA next year?

Why would you do that if you were NE?

ESPN is reporting a source for Zeke Elliot has informed Dallas that he won't play at all this year if he does not get a new deal. - just my personal view, if Dallas folds here, this totally will blow up the rookie deals they fought for in CBA. The whole value of taking a player in first round is to get 5 years of control at that price with option year.

WAS - OT Trent Williams has been adamant he won't play for the Redskins any longer, they are fining him $40K per missed day, but he feels the team screwed up his health last year and he won't play for them.

I can think of any number of teams who could use this OLT!!
