Please give him a 2017 ring

[–] Calm_Craft6990@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

me neither, fuck me that guy was prolly so good, they just let him off and then thought he might come back at some point idk

[–] tmb12707@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I believe you have my stapler.

[–] Fools_Requiem@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Makes one wonder how many other players are still sitting on teams' reserve/suspended lists. Or what if Andrew Luck is still on IR, and the Colts never took him off after he retired.

Where's his superbowl ring? Technically, he was still on the roster, so that makes him a superbowl champion

Williams was a first-round draft pick of the Eagles in 1994 and had a good rookie year, but he was suspended before the 1995 season after testing positive for marijuana. He tested positive again during his suspension, and he ended up never being reinstated.

So sad, such a harsh punishment.

[–] CharlesDickensABox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When Roger Goodell hears about this he's gonna suspend Josh Gordon so damn hard.

It's better that he found out because they cut him and not because they activated him.

So like... Does he get a Superbowl ring?

[–] flashypickle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As far as I can recall, the team gets to decide if fringe players like him will get a ring, so I highly doubt he got one.

[–] Guts709@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is going to go down as some weird sports trivia question in the future

[–] nalc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feel like with a bit of leg work Howie should have been able to get a 7th from the Titans for him. Just lazy GMing to straight up cut him, but what do you expect from the jamoke who drafted Reagor.

[–] sigep0361@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He should’ve just traded his rights to the Titans for 2 1sts and a 2nd.

[–] SithLordPabs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn how does this even happen to begin with? 🥴

[–] IReallyLikeAvocadoes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So just to be clear he is the oldest NFL player in history?

[–] here_now_be@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seahawks about to sign him once he clears waivers.

[–] RealBigDicTator@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Williams was a first-round draft pick of the Eagles in 1994 and had a good rookie year, but he was suspended before the 1995 season after testing positive for marijuana.

I just want you younglings to understand that testing positive for Marijuana in 1995 was, at the very minimum, the same thing as Capital Murder. He's lucky he didn't end up on death row.

[–] PillCosby92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Did he get a ring?

[–] WeaponexT@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So does this make him the longest tenured player in league history technically?

Bernard Williams added "Wait, I could have been telling women I was on an NFL team this whole time?"

[–] PlumbStraightLevel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I bet he didn't.....he would want paid

[–] RiflemanLax@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I’m glad he seems to be doing well at least.

[–] Difficult_E@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“But I don’t really even work here…”

[–] m0dzr6ay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And somehow Howie received a third round pick in the upcoming draft as a result.

[–] AdvancedDay7854@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Put this man’s jersey in the HoF.

[–] ravensflockyou3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Had he filed for reinstatement and been granted is it possible his contract would have begun to toll. Like legit what would have happened there

[–] DTSportsNow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He would technically be eligible to return to play, but the Eagles would still have to take him off their reserve/suspended list. They can just decide to waive him like they did instead of taking him off the list. And he had no more guaranteed money left and/or it was all voided a long time ago so the situation doesn't really change much.

Still younger than Jason peters.
