Get Well Soon Jimmy

[jboy19]

Seems like the team was pretty confident in their chances of winning an appeal. So its possible that it could have been an undisclosed prescription or something like that.

 

[K-Dog]

So it is a wash anyway.

 

[allblackraven]

with older/injured players often it might be that they are happy to take a potential 4 game suspension if it keeps them on the field for the rest of the year - that's how i feel jimmy's would have been

No excuse still.

 

[Edgar]

I imagine Jimmy was using an illegal substance to play through the injury

Could have been for a lot of reasons. Could have been using a while for the reasons a lot of players do. Who knows?
Something could come out to exonerate him tomorrow but for now it appears he cheated.

Sucks he went down and hope he comes back strong next year.

Not going to judge the PED thing until we find out what what it was that he was using.

have done some minimal searching around this - sounds like the ravens were pretty confident the appeal would have reduced or wiped out the suspension - maybe a prescription that the nfl wasnt aware of - which would make sense given that they were only made aware of the suspension possibility a week ago...

that being said - we probably will never find out now coz the ravens dont really care about the suspension at this point given the injury

 

[rossihunter2]

another reason why the ravens no longer want to appeal on jimmy's behalf: they get a cap credit of nearly $200k back

 

[arnie_uk]

I'd absolutely still appeal. Clear his and your name if ita innocent

Jimmy goes six years without using a PED and then in the one year he's got a perpetual injury, he gets busted for them. Ravens and Jimmy are highly confident the suspension might get thrown out all together, so I mean, this almost certainly had to do with the injury.

I wish the Ravens would put $200K behind them (really, that is an absurdly small amount of money) and appeal if they're confident they can win and get a speedy reply because if Jimmy appealed and lost this week, the four games remaining serve the suspension. If they appeal and lose next week, but make the playoffs, he still serves those four games during that time period.

I mean, I suppose they're concerned with the process dragging out and coming into play next season potentially, but I REALLY hope that's the reason and not $200K.

I would imagine you're exactly right. 200k is nothing. Who knows though maybe Ozzie has his eye on a marquee practice squad special teamer?

He’s got the perfect guy in mind

May end up being something dumb like happened with Haloti. In any case Smith can come out and state exactly what he was using and why if he thinks it will clear his rep. It doesn’t seem it would really be beneficial to anyone to appeal.

WE GONNA #EATGREEDY WITH THIS 200K!

they might get some guaranteed money back but it makes no sense really at this point for either jimmy or the ravens to risk this appeal at this point - he misses these games whatever happens but as others have mentioned if the appeal drags on then maybe he gets stuck missing a game next year which is a bad situation for both the ravens and jimmy

 

[cobrajet]

i guess they will activate Jaylen Hill now for games. I hope his hamstring is completely healed, because I like what I saw in preseason from him.

i feel like it is healed given that he played a bit in the slot before canady was activated

Yeah, I don't recall him being on the injury report recently.

 

[jboy19]

If he appeals and the Ravens miss playoffs/his appeal process takes a couple weeks. He could end up serving his suspension next year. So it's probably smart to just take it.
