Just trying to read the tea leaves my friend.

And I was curious about the board's thoughts.
OK. I didn't know if I had missed a media report.

Yesterday, Jourdan Rodrigue apologized for a poorly-worded-tweet earlier in the day that led another poster to thinks Hopkins had been released.

The "SOA" designation for Hopkins suspension is (apparently) Substances of Abuse which is kind-of-vague.

It depends on the substance but this past draft was loaded with tight ends. Would have been a good one to get a replacement.
I hear you, but the reality is that its the 3rd year of his deal. Dude has 1 career reg season catch, despite being a "pro-ready" receiver
So now if this turns out to be another wash out season? Like you had said earlier, maybe this is what has kept him on the sidelines all this time. We need Higbee's replacement on the roster at some point, next year is last year of his deal

I expected them to grab a TE in the 2022 draft because of Higbees age. They need another complete TE to start learning the offense.

I don't know how complete he is at this point, but Jared Pinkney would be the more traditional TE we have on our roster at the moment.

I suspect that McSnead has been scouring outside trade options, practice squad players he might steal from other teams, and any free agents still hanging about, and that's why he hasn't promoted from within yet. I'm still hoping he names Roger Carter as our next man up though. jmo.
 
Anyone have this strange feeling that we got the superbowl hangover (sort of)? I think the Rams will snap out of it soon but it's just a strange feeling I have this season thus far. I hope I'm flat out wrong.
Kupp will lead the way
 
Man, for a guy who just got a major break in cracking the 53 man roster youd think he would be on his best behavior. That dude will never see the field again mark my words. At least in a Rams uniform
This is probably old news. My understanding is that abuse of substances testing is conducted during the off-season and into training camp from April-August.

Either Brycen was hung over at the time of testing or had other substances without a prescription in his system (does not exclude recreational drugs). That reminds me, Aaron Rodgers must be immune to AOS testing and consequences.
