Man be hilarious if he applied for reinstatement last year just to collect a check

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He was technically with one NFL team longer than Jason Hanson. However, Williams played in three other leagues.

The Dodgers have been keeping Andrew Toles under contract even though he hasn't played since 2018. He's been dealing with some serious mental health issues(schizophrenia if I remember correctly) and the Dodgers have kept him on the roster so he can keep getting health insurance.

10% chance we legitimately sign him.

That's Super Bowl Champion All Rookie Team OT Bernard Williams, to you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He would immediately be the best OT on the Panthers rn

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wikipedia is undefeated. His career with the Eagles is 1994-2023, and he is listed as a Super Bowl LII Champ.

Super Bowl champion Bernard Williams.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Do we know why he never applied to be reinstated? I would imagine he just didn’t want to play football but apparently he went to the XFL and CFL for a bit

Would be the giants best lineman

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Jets should sign him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I can't believe we're giving up on a promising first round pick less than seventeen games into his career

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think he could be an upgrade over Andre Dillard for the Titans, we get all our tackles from the Eagles anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Gonna be some good trivia right? Who was the longest tenured player in Eagles history, something like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Tom Brady ain’t got nothing on this GOAT!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's actually kind of an interesting story. Drafted, played, got popped for smoking weed, suspended, popped for it again, then went on the exempt list and the team changed ownership in the middle of it, he never applied for reinstatement for whatever reason and he just kinda... fell through the cracks. Crazy.

Belichick about to pick him up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can’t wait for the post on the Titans sub “Tackle released should we sign him”. Full of idiots over there!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh we didn't fire him, we just fixed the glitch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Been stashing him on the bench for fantasy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Have the Jaguars ever waived Justin Blackmon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I hope the Titans at least invite him to a workout. We need serious help at LT

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They fixed the glitch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So, do the Eagles get a comp pick for losing this legend?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Bobby Bonilla type career

Does this technically qualify as the longest nfl career in history?

Does this technically qualify as the longest nfl career in history?

i'm not sure if those stats have "minimum games played" qualifiers like how many stats have "minimum 10 attempts". (he's averaging well below 1 game a year)

george blanda has the most seasons played at 26, so this would be longer than that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Had to Google his highlights and tbh, I think he could still play. Like seriously, note his footwork and the way he moves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Give Bernard Williams a ring damn it

Still technically was on the team in 2017…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ahh yes the missing piece in our AJ Brown trade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Longest tenured eagle ever.

Only eagle on three Super Bowl rosters.

Absolute legend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Big locker room guy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well he wasn't seeing the field so

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

When I was in the Army back in 2006 they found an old Staff Sergeant who left the service without concluding his paperwork, so they sent him back to the last active unit in his Brigade(Which was mine) so that he could do out processing/seperation paper work. I got to spend all week escorting a Vietnam vet around Fort Richardson and hearing about how "the good ol days" weren't as good as people think, and about having kids, grand kids, and so fourth. It was a real honor.

So you’re saying there is a chance we could improve our oline?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t understand why he continued to play football but didn’t apply for reinstatement to the NFL. Was he worried he was going to get suspended again? Did those other leagues not drug test?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Howie probably would have gotten a 5th rounder for him if it wasn't past the trade deadline.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

sure he's 54, but we could use some upgrades on our o-line.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think he's Eric Berry's uncle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Headline- Titans sign 58 year old former All rookie for OL depth

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Did he get a Super Bowl ring?
