section122 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This article popped up in the shoutbox and I thought it deserved a thread... Mods if this isn't the place move it freely. from the article: Free agent safety Kerry Rhodes was more or less outed by Media Takeout during the offseason (the pictures that MTO posted of him with another man appear to have been scrubbed from the site). He still hasn't found a job. This is f***ed up, because Kerry Rhodes is good. In fact, by many metrics, he's very good. Rhodes picked off four passes last season (two of them came against the Jets, but still!) and was part of the fifth-best pass defense in the NFL. Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the fourth-best safety in all of football in 2012. Apart from the retired Ronde Barber, Rhodes is the only player in PFF's top 30 safeties from 2012 that doesn't currently have a job. Interesting to say the least, I'm wondering why he doesn't have a job. Maybe the NFL hasn't moved as far as I thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Me neither but Kerry Rhodes rumors is the 2nd autofill when googling his name and the pics are questionable to say the least. He's only 31 and appears to have had (statistically at least) a good season last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Surprising and, if true that he's being blackballed, reflects poorly on the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Homophobes tend to be homosexual. If anyone is threatened by those photos, perhaps they have some strong repressed urges. And we could use him at safety, and trade Byrd the malecontent Edited September 12, 2013 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 31 and appears to have had (statistically at least) a good season last year. yea, its still possible hes asking for too much, or refusing to be a backup, or play special teams, or a variety of other things that drew just posts as "obviously not the case" despite no indication its not actually the case.... but it seems there might be some smoke around this one, and theres a good chance theres fire.
