They should probably just IR him though.

They are on the hook for 6M next year for him no matter what and there is ZERO chance he's going to walk away from that. When has Revis ever walked away from a red cent?

I'm not sure how it works when you release someone mid season. His salary is guaranteed once the season starts right?

Yeah there's no point in releasing him now unless they need the roster spot.

I'm not sure how it works when you release someone mid season. His salary is guaranteed once the season starts right?

It depends on his contract. If the contract guarantees his salary (which it is for 2016), then he gets paid either way. Lots of guys have per-game salaries, though. If you cut one of those guys, you save their remaining salary against the cap. This money basically becomes rollover credit for next year's cap.

Cutting someone mid-season is basically the same as cutting them before June 1st in the following year. Their current bonus/obligations continue to count toward this year's cap, and then the remaining money accelerates onto next year's cap. So there's no financial incentive to cut Revis now, but there could be a coaching reason. He's owned a $2M roster bonus if he's still on the team on the 2nd day of the league year next year, so I strongly doubt he'll remain with the team that long.

Geez, I can't believe the Cowboys can already clinch a #1 seed...not that it'll happen because Detroit takes on Chicago, but still.

Not to cause a giant derail here, but how does this practically work? Could you conceivably just randomly shoot someone and, as long as there were no witnesses around, tell police they were approaching you in a menacing way and get away with it?

As long as your victim is Black and you aren't you'd almost certainly get away with it.

He did? I thought it was McKnight that had the connection to the sheriff's office. Wasn't he raised by someone that used to work for them?

I was only referencing Louisiana stand your ground law, which is different than Florida, and Trayvon Martin.

I'm like 99% sure we have an actual criminal defense (or prosecutor) who posts here. I'll let him explain the likely reasons he's being charged with MS. I'm a contracts attorney.

From the point of view that you believe the eyewitness account, this looks egregious as poo poo. But I've seen, personally, a few cases that have looked horrible until you read the documents. If no one speaks up I'll pull the court docs, review, and give my opinion.

No eyewitness is completely reliable and stories change constantly, even when the person isn't lying. A story that never changes and is exactly the same every time is suspicious as gently caress and possibly a lie.
