ROFL

That guys still in the league?

Wow. What’s a playoff game check? Probably making his whole salary in two weeks if not more.

Wait, how can he switch teams and play? Doesn't have to clear COVID protocols?

Would be great if Green Bay loses and he signs with somebody else. Becoming the "grim reaper" of playoff fortunes.

What kind of ****ery is this?

Wait, is he better than Andrew Wylie?

That’s what I thought. Doesn’t that shit last 5 days?

Not much, actually. $30k per week or so.

My GUESS is that those don't apply when someone was already with a team - just free agents who weren't already in the protocols.

Ahh Veach should have been on this! We could use another swing tackle.

That jibes with the last sentence in the tweet.

Players are getting tested every day. I assume if he was tested Sunday and today, he would not have to wait to join new team.

Ya, maybe within the current rules, but it doesn’t seem right to me.

Good for him I guess, but still.

Didn't Bell have to wait before he got activated with us?

Jets released him, so he was technically a free agent. This guy was on a practice squad and never actually hit free agency. Right?

I suppose that makes sense.

Bell was released and out of protocol for some time so he had to wait.

I don't recall the particulars. I feel like he was released and signed with us pretty much immediately but there was a gap.

I remember this guy was a physical monster in his oakland days.

He pulled a David Boston and way over trained. Got muscle bound and put a ton of strain on his body in the process. Was never able to stay consistently healthy after he left Oakland.

Ridiculous that you can switch teams with just 3 games left of the season

He was cut by Indy, dipshit

He ain’t playing on Saturday. Guess they should have tested him earlier. Cause he tested positive today.

ROFL So much for the protocols working I guess.

So contact tracing protocols...

Wonder what that means for any staff/players he was in contact with

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Was told the Packers have been cleared through contact tracing of having to put anyone else on the list for now. <br><br>Obviously, test results between now and Saturday&#39;s game will also be a factor. <a href="https://t.co/Ax59xFWJOe">https://t.co/Ax59xFWJOe</a></p>&mdash; Rob Demovsky (@RobDemovsky) <a href="https://twitter.com/RobDemovsky/status/1349487086706024448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 13, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Don't see how this is possible when he was just practicing

Exactly what I said a couple of days ago. Seems like a faulty assumption when a player changes teams considering what we've seen from several teams and their outbreaks.
