Pack your bags. We're going to Cincinnati, San Diego, Washington, and Dallas today....don't unpack.

How so? If the Saints were attempting to resign him he must have addressed their concern of the previously failed physical.

Weight gain. Weight loss. Some existing condition that required outside physician documentation. No telling, but very possible. It happens all the time at the beginning of camp. A player starts on preseason/PUP and two days later is activated.

So did Trill the Thrill pass his physical in South Beach? If so, what was the difference in team doctors this time around?

Saints Resign Burrell

Guess he wasn't hurt after all? What about Trill?

As I mentioned earlier, a failed physical doesn't mean an injury. They may have needed Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE's) from a personal physician to cover some otherwise restricted medication (Adderall is a common one). Or perhaps they had some elevated measurement that needed retested later (blood pressure for example).

Correct, I just wasn't sure that everyone understood that we are only temporarily under the cap and that the Top-51 has an end date. Also as you pointed out, TOP-51 is nameless it is a calculation based solely on 2021 cap hits and the names on it can and will change. After June 1 Drew should come off.

I made it to 32 and can attest to the value in that sound advice.
