There is no ignorance. I am sure the NFL has some sort of public announcement mechanism for all its players and the agents that represent them. I'm sure they have an "Around The NFL" type of newsletter they circulate to people intimately involved in the NFL. The question is did the NFL or NFLPA inform the players and agents of the changes? This is a significant change that aught to be published. I would go even further and say they are entitled not only to an announcement but also a two week reminder of the deadline. I think the crap the 49’ers are trying to pull is just that, crap. They are they are trying to maximize draft picks at the expense of TO.
Personally I think TO is a great player. I do, however, question how he handles his teammates and coaches. He sometimes reminds me of the infamous “Leon” from bud commercials but he is a good player nonetheless.
The media needs to get of TO’s balls because they sure as hell don’t have anything else to talk about. It would also be best that TO keep his mouth shut and let the arbitrator decide whether his contract with the Ravens is void. If I was a betting man I’d bet that TO’s contract gets voided and he gets deckared a free agent.
