we have no proven 1st and 2nd down DE to spell Dorsey (who played too many snaps last year) or Jackson (who has proven nothing)....doesn't make any sense to me....we have piles of $$$$ though, thank jesus
Bailey better be a bad ass right out of the gate

I fully agree.
I think Pioli MUST have his eye on somebody he feels will get cut...a vet.

Expect another wave of cuts this evening, as teams must be under the cap when the league year begins tomorrow.
Lets get the cba done first sound like it might not be till monday now.

This is where I expect us to sign 2-3 more players.
Stopgaps till the young guys we have are ready.
similar signings to the Gregg one.

So what can he possibly be hoping to negotiate? By league rules, he has virtually zero leverage, correct?
Could there be something else in play? Another failed drug test, perhaps? Something else?

Duh, Pioli is sitting on his hands.
pay attention.
...
Seriously though, there has to be something.
Secretary: Mr Pioli, there is a Mr Houston here to see you.
Pioli: Good, let him in.
Houston: Nice to meet you sir, I look forward to helping this team to the next level.
Pioli: (houston gets a little closer to Pioli to shake hands) Justin, whats that smell?
Houston: I dont know what you mean.
Pioli: We both know what I mean, you arent allowed on premises until you get this resolved. Im very disapointed in you right now, I thought we talked about this in our interview.
Houston: Im sorry, sir. I made a mistake and it wont happen again.
Pioli: Youre damn right it wont, Im not gonna let you near my team until you resolve this. I want you to check into THIS rehab center (hands Houston a card for a under the radar center that will not let info get into the media) and after that, you wil have another chance to be an NFL football player.
Houston: thank you sir, This wont happen again.
Pioli: get out of my office.
...
I wonder if something like that happened...
