They don ' t have to protect him . He doesn ' t have a contract for next season . They could leave him unsigned and then sign him after FA starts . Most teamsplayers would be very nervous doing something like that but I think Neiler would trust Ottawa and vice versa . <| sep |> I ' m a Broncos fan and I would avoid that game unless you own one of the D ' s . I just don ' t see a lot there . If you have Rishard I ' d play him instead of ARob . As for Tyrell vs Houston I think after a bye that whole SD offense is going to be refreshed and ready to put up some points . <| sep |> This was also on the front page of this sub for many hours yesterday . A lot of people pointed out that we don ' t know if that accounted for other teams ' garbage time or other teams ' resting players like Memphis when they rested Conley and Gasol vs MIN and then lost by 40 .
