I think Kiefer’s wife is expecting in April and I guess they wanted clarity as soon as possible.
Wow that's awful
Poorly managed team with a gullible & idiotic fan base that continues to support this clown of an owner.Absolutely pathetic.
Reaves and Sherwood are violent….🏟
Yucky, lol, I was hoping – large – that KS would end up in Utah.
Sherwood is on IR Better To Get Something For Him Then Nothing At All
2 2nd round picks for a 30 year old guy on LTIR who is set to be a UFA is just right
4:28 speaking of Schneider, would love to see him in teal
2 seconds
Rutherford has alot of heart. Doing this early was in respect th Sherwood and his wife.
