Disturbing new details have emerged about Richie Incognito‘s arrest. According to the arrest report, funeral home employees say the former Bills Pro Bowler wanted his father’s head cut off for research purposes and walked through the funeral home punching caskets and throwing objects (via Stevie Johnson of the Democrat and Chronicle).
Incognito also made a gun gesture towards an employee and told him that he had guns in his truck. When police searched Incognito’s car, they found a tan Glock 17 9mm handgun, a black Glock 35 .40-caliber handgun, three rifles and four magazines.
Here’s more from the AFC East:
- Some Patriots fans have been clamoring for Dez Bryant after the release of Kenny Britt, but Doug Kyed of NESN.com doesn’t think it’s an automatic fit. Bryant famously turned down a $7MM/year from the Ravens while accomplished wide receiver Eric Decker came on board for less than $2MM. If Bryant still wants top dollar, the Pats might not be the right place for him. Bryant may be a better option than Decker, but he’s not necessarily worth more than triple the money, Kyed argues. It’s also worth noting that Decker came in with knowledge of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ offense while Bryant would have to learn the offense in less than three weeks.
- There has been a lot of talk about a potential Teddy Bridgewater trade, but Brian Costello of the New York Post doesn’t think the Jets should be in any rush to trade the quarterback. Nothing says the have to move Bridgewater before the season starts and he argues that it doesn’t make sense to do so unless a starting QB gets hurt in the preseason and that team gets desperate. Personally, I think it’s hard to argue with that line of thinking. Bridgewater has shown that he is a starting-caliber QB, and the Jets should not settle for anything short of full price for the former Vikings standout.
Seems like the media is more intent on the Jets trading Teddy than they are. Frankly I’d as soon see them keep him. If they’re intent on Darnold getting starting reps let Bridgewater fight for the backup job. He’s been great so far and with the Jets luck the day he gets traded McCowan goes on IR. Having three capable QBs will be a far cry from what they have endured the last few years.
The media is under the impression that every player is a trade commodity. Teddy isn’t putting a strain on the salary cap so the Jets should stick with him at least short term.
What could Teddy Bridgewater be worth in draft pick compensation? Personally, I wouldn’t pay anything over 2nd round given his knee situation.
The Vikings gave up way more than that for Bradford who also had major injury issues.
Vikings were also incredibly desperate, and Bradford had a better pedigree. I also think teams might be leery of making the same mistake.
Bradford was a walking injury issue before the Vikings got him for his 1 healthy year. And gave up more than a low 2nd for him.
Teddy B isnt a walking injury update quite yet. But could be. But has shown more consistancy than Sammy B. This early on. Personally, if i take injury history and performance into affect i think teddy is worth slightly more than sam. But its literally like 1 pick difference away.
decker doesn’t belong on the field – pls get dez in for a workout
Is he just warming up for his own reality TV show?
