Fische » The Raiders have spent time with several pass rushing prospects

Montez Sweat to that list this week.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Sweat met with the team before moving on to a Wednesday visit with the Texans. Wednesday is the final day that teams are permitted to host draft prospects at their facilities.Houston has the No. 23 pick http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/bobby-evans-jersey , which is just ahead of the second of Oakland’s three picks in the first round, and Sweat would add to a strong pass rushing group fronted by J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney. After Sweat’s 22.5 sacks at Mississippi State and impressive Combine showing, there doesn’t seem to be much chance that he’ll be on the board if they stay put.Oakland will have an earlier chance to nab him and their plethora of early picks gives them an ability to move up if they want to go in a different direction at No. 4. Jaguars executive V.P. of football operations Tom Coughlin say that all players should be present for voluntary offseason workouts. The president of the NFL Players Association says that voluntary doesn’t mean what Coughlin apparently thinks it means.“Our CBA definition of voluntary is the same as the actual definition of voluntary Greg Gaines Jersey ,” NFLPA president Eric Winston said in a statement issued to PFT, “and prohibits anyone from threatening players to participate in voluntary workouts. This is precisely the reason players negotiated strict work rules and bright lines when it comes to offseason activities. We know, from experience Christian Wilkins Jersey , that not all coaches and executives will adhere to them and we always pursue any violations to protect our rules.”This implies that Coughlin’s bright-line violation will be pursued, through the proper channels. The question at this point isn’t whether a violation happened but what the appropriate sanction should be.That also could be said for the Broncos’ decision to cut defensive back Craig Mager, whose only apparent sin seems to be that he hasn’t shown up for offseason workouts due to personal reasons http://www.miamidolphinsteamonline.com/michael-deiter-jersey , including the bonus minicamp that the Broncos may conduct in connection with the fact that they have a new coach.On one hand, the Broncos want someone to participate in the workouts, and Mager is taking a roster spot that could go to someone who will voluntary do so. On the other hand Garrett Bradbury Jersey , all players have a right to skip voluntary workouts, from Player No. 1 to Player No. 90 on the offseason roster.
