Cody Ford has to buy his own jerseys and helmet from the Cardinals to take with him

[SMAKCruiser]

I have no problem with teams making players buy their equipment.  They can afford it.

[Coldfronts]

They get all the free equipment they want...they just can't take it home with them

I mean if you were an an NFL player, wouldn't you want your stuff for your man cave or den? I just think it's weird teams would charge players for it. Is it just the cheapass Cards or do the Bills do the same?

Maybe it's just Cody.  LOL

Why the heck would you want it at all?

Either you'll get more from teh Cards next year or you'll be somewhere else and won't want a stanky old gear from somewhere you're not even playing

I remember when I played (oh about a hundred years ago) once you found a helmet brand/fit you really liked, you wanted to hang on to it out of fear you would not be able to find that fit again.   NFL teams are contracturally stuck with helmet vendors today and his next team may not use the same vendor.   Just a thought

Really? What did she do or say that was so upsetting to you?

 

Obviously a thousand still felt like real money to her. A thousand is real money to most of us I'm guessing.

Why do people feel the need to share everything they deal with? And who the hell really cares anyways? Imagine going to a social platform to tell everyone that you had a  nice crap that made you feel light and slim. Geez. 

Do you want some links?

Most likely. I know players buy their jerseys for a jersey swap.  Otherwise everyone would do it.  Can you imagine the cost if everyone just swapped jerseys?

That was a strange video

Well, Cody, some players have to buy their own gear.

That's the first time someone bought a Cody Ford jersey!

[muppy]

I think the az cardinals are as  low budget as it gets. Just what are They going to do with used already shirts, even helmet. Are they too freakin cheap to not just count those as business expenses and keep it moving?

 

There's something wrong with this picture. Penny pinchin money grubbing baloney

 

PS: I know for a fact that Cody Ford is a father to a young son. I don't know who the female in this clip is. May be wifey? I dunno.

I had to buy my shirt at Domino’s back in the day. I don’t miss those days…and I think Cody won’t miss his days of buying uniforms pretty soon, too. 

I think it’s BS.  You hire someone to a minimum wage job and make them buy their uniforms?  Same crap as the military and cops.

[colin]

how the hell did we ever pump a 2nd into that guy?

 

he's SUCH a fatbody.  underwhelmed since he took the field.

 

kinda reminds me of this DE who came out of FSU late in the 1st round, a german kid.  when i saw him in preseason i was like "he had 10+ sacks in the ACC?".  not quite an adonis.

I got a uniform stipend from both the Air Force and the PD

[Don Otreply]

The USMC made all of us buy our entire initial issue of uniforms, only the first hair cut was on the house, and all subsequent replacement uniforms that were worn out over time came out of pocket, gotta admit, I was pissed off when I got my first paycheck and found it to be short by around eighty percent.

You know who can also afford it?

 

The owners by 100x

[Irv]

If I owned the Cardinals and set as much money on fire as I did on Murray, I'd have a coin slot on the showers.  

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Arizona strikes me as the sort of franchise that will trip over $100 bills to pick up nickels.  The head of accounting is probably a Ms. Helen Waite. 🤔🤨

Do the Bills do this with any players who want to take their gear with them?

 

Puts a entirely new twist on the NFL if that's the way every team works ... 🙄

[Mr. WEO]

$1350 is much cheaper than the Bills/Cardinals paid for this bum (7.8 million, a 2nd and a 5th).

[papazoid]

seems kind of silly on the teams part....

 

lets take the helmet.....several models to pick from, sized exactly to fit cody......what, are they going to hang on to it, hoping another guy matches those specs. not to mention sanitary considerations.

 

lets take the jersey....a team gets many requests to donate for charity.....but for someone who's no longer on the team ?
