Ben Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 [quote]Thurman decision today? Though agent Safarrah Lawson said just minutes ago that he has heard nothing from the league about the possible resinstatement of client Odell Thurman -- "The silence has been defeaning," Lawson said -- sources inside the Bengals organization anticipate that today could be the day when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sends word of his decision. It would start with a call from the commissioner to team president Mike Brown and coach Marvin Lewis. Also, the club expects to announce no signings today of any of its draft picks. Players report Thursday. The first training camp practice is Friday at 3 p.m.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all assume that he'll be welcomed back with open arms; what if Marvin/Mike are fed up and want to cut their losses? Hell for all we know, they called Goodell and asked him NOT to reinstate Odell.

Cant give you a confirmed answer on that one but he has gone thru the programs designed for alcoholics... His girlfriend just had their second child and he says he wants to be a family man now. He's gone to different youth football camps and lectured the kids on pitfalls such as his. He seems to be doing all the right things.. Id have to think that Lewis would give him ONE more chance at turning his life around and help in the linebacking rotation this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENGAL BOB C. Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 I wish the commisioner would get up off his ass and make a decision. We really need Odell. He led the team in tackles and had 8 takeaways. That is HUGE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle1 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 They are all so tied up with the Mike Vick thing, they forgot about Odell. I hope he doesn't fuck Odell over and make him wait until half way through training camp to reinstate him. He needs practice ASAP if he is going to be on the field.

Naptown Bengal Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Looks like we'll have to wait at least until tomorrow now... [quote][size=4][b]Thurman call now unlikely today[/b][/size] Reversing field on an earlier possibility that the NFL would announce its decision whether to reinstate Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman today, it now appears like that move will wait until Tuesday or Wednesday. "Nothing to report on Odell," a league spokesman wrote this afternoon in an e-mail. Thurman applied for reinstatement early last month from his year-long suspension for a third violation of the NFL substance abuse policy. He previously had been suspended for a second violation, and his third offense was a DUI on Sept. 25. The Bengals might wait to announce Thurman's reinstatement at their annual pre-training camp luncheon Tuesday over the noon hour at Paul Brown Stadium. A decision is expected to come from the league in time for Thurman -- should he be reinstated -- to report on time to training camp Thursday. The Bengals' first practice is 3 p.m. Friday.[/quote] [url="http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/bengals/2007/07/thurman-call-now-unlikely-today.asp"]http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/benga...ikely-today.asp[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
