I heard today Ogunjobi didn't even know until after he agreed to terms. 

A player didnt know he took illegal steroids?

Color me unconvinced.

Couldn’t they get out of Ogunjobi’s contract with the vague “behavior detrimental to the team” clause?

They had him sign the contract knowing he was suspended the first six games.  LOL.

The first 6 games matter if Cincinnati and KC are on the menu

Can we just request the first six games to be all divisional games?

I can’t believe the league gives teams roster exemptions for suspended players. Doesn’t make sense, except from the perspective of injury prevention. It’s always hardest to get down to 53 week 1. These suspensions actually create a silver lining.

I think the goal is to penalize the player, not the team.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I agree but I can't wrap my head around the timing?   Why doesn't the NFL release PED results well before FA?  That way you really discourage players from taking them in the first place. And every grown man is responsible for knowing what's going into his body.  If the team has this info and chooses to sign the player (Hoecht) then that's the risk they (Beane) take.  But at least they have that choice.  Beane was blindsided by Ogunjobi and was kinda stuck sticking with him.
