    Yes, I posted info on that a while back. The teams and player generally agree to some sort of compensation though.
    I think Okung could make the case that his condition was caused by football.

      Then he would have contested being put on the NFI list.

        Not if they agreed to pay him, which I assume they are doing. I'd like to see the language on that. Because I assumed the ability to withhold paying him would depend on what caused the injury. If a player is negligent outside of football and injures himself that might be just cause to withhold salary. But for a player who contracts an illness it's not just cause to withhold a salary, even if the illness has nothing to do with football. But the the link between embolism and the pounding players take in football is pretty clear. I am sure this is something the league is going to be sensitive about. More bad press about the dangers of playing the game.

          Can Lamp do what Quinton Nelson did last year? Stay tuned.

              I'm hoping he excels this season for selfish reasons.

                  It's possible for a great OG to have a major impact on OL play. That's a well established fact. Whether Lamp can be that guy ? TBD.
                  Comparing Lamp to Nelson probably is not very fair, Quinton is extraordinary.
                  ??? We'll see.

                    The Redskins are having trade discussions regarding tackle Trent Williams, according to a source. Unclear what type of compensation they'd require in a trade. There's a feeling around the league the Patriots would be involved due to depth issues at the position.

                      Cmon TT give em Melvin and call it good (I know,I know a trade works two ways).The more I hear about Okung the more it sounds like he might not even play this season.Scott aint the answer.

                          Interesting a tackle is getting so much interest. Wonder if MG is?
