He could know that he wasn't going to be there but still be very concerned about the situation and that it hasn't been resolved going on 6 months after the fact. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
I mean what's McD supposed to say about a guy there was there in the morning before practice and then left without being at practice, apparently without him knowing what was going on?
It's in the contract they can restructure whenever they want and it's very rare to talk to a player prior to doing it. Why? Because it accelerates the money the player receives so what player is going to refuse more up front money?
This sounds weird...if he is supposed to be there but isn't there...did something bad happen? Did someone kidnap him for ransom money?
I mean this world has gotten crazy, and people just DGAF nowadays.
But why report for medical clearance yesterday at the team facility of he wasn't planning on showing up then?? That's the part that makes no sense to me.
Apparently Diggs reported for medical clearance checking at the facility yesterday and is in WNY but did not report for minicamp today?
Very strange and hopefully something nefarious hasn't happened...
Most of the time teams don't talk to player before restructuring because it's built into their contract that they can do it and it is highly beneficial to the player since they get more money upfront, so what would they be upset about?
Arlington Cowboys, Santa Clara 49ers, Paradise Raiders, Landover Commanders, Miami Gardens Dolphins, Inglewood Rams and Chargers, Glendale Cardinals are the others.
More focused...he realizes he has the talent and the physical ability to be the best QB in the NFL and cement his status as a future 1st ballot HOFer.
The only thing standing in his way is himself. I think we are seeing him push himself to be greater than he already is.
Part of the maturing process.
