My favorite story out of every training camp is the veteran who is “asked” not to come to training camp, but has millions of dollars waiting for if he shows up. Like his pride is going to get in the way of cashing that sort of paycheck.

Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reported that LaMont Jordan is not welcome even though the Raiders had numerous chances to resolve the issue — they could have released him last fall or made a move in the offseason. As it is, Jordan is due $4.7 million, which me may or may not spend updating his collection of bucket hats.

The standoffs aren’t really what amuse me as much as imagining what the details of the conversation actually are. Will they treat Jordan like Initech treated Milton in Office Space and slowly push him into the basement to run routes by himself?

Remember when Steve McNair was basically forced to sue the Titans to be allowed to workout while he was under contract. “Ah, yeah…Steve? What are you doing here? Didn’t you get the Bally’s membership we sent you? It’s the platinum membership. You can even use the lap pool.”
