FYI - Colts WR Robert Mathis in 2013 and Texans LB Brian Cushing in 2012 were suspened for 4 games for exactly the same thing. They used the same excuse as Tate years earlier and their suspension stood. Reason is, it is widely known in the PED world that PED users will use male fertility drug to help restart natural testosterone production and can mitigate the side effects of ending a cycle of PED's.
Plus Tate is not so likable.
I've never had a problem with Golden Tate, but I ain't complaining about his suspension either.

The timing on this is different but if it stands it stands.

Yeah that whole "you are responsible for what you're putting in your body" part of the rule can be a real motherfucker. Sucks to suck I guess.

Terrible look for Robert Nkemdiche here. Most of the time when guys show up out-of-shape, the coach will crack the whip a bit and give them time. Kingsbury basically said he's not worth the effort.

I'd bring him in for a try out. I know we're stack at DL, but Nkemdiche was very promising early in his career, and he's not in a position to negotiate so maybe we can get high quality depth on the cheap ?

Frenchie I like you man, but I think the idea of bringing in a first round pick who was cut at the start of training camp for being soooo overweight (at the start of the season that's going to make or break his career as he was supposed to hit FA next year) is the worst idea I've heard in a while. He's not high-quality depth, if he's this unmotivated going into his 4th year I bet he won't last 6.

Haha I hear you, I just think a work out could allow you to know if he's that out of shape or if part it was dissensions between the Cards and him...
Plus I think part of it is I'm just curious to see where he's at, I remember picking him up in a dynasty IDP league after seeing some nice flashes.
