He threatened to leave the team facility after players and coaches called out his effort in a film session, was caught tweeting while on the sideline during a game, and eventually caused enough distraction and trouble in the locker room that teammate Landon Collins called him a "cancer."
Actually I thought he had signed with the Raiders!
Apparently, the one and only Eli Apple.
Apparently the deal with the Raiders fell through...... I hadn't heard about his 'problems' till now. You always wonder about these stories. A simple personality conflict can generate a lot of "sour grapes" type of commentary. Of course it's always possible that he could be a rabble-rouser type of guy. Sure hope not.!! Anyway, he is a starting caliber CB and will make our D a lot more solid. Gonna be a lot tougher to go deep against him and Jackson.
If it turns out to be a "bad" pick-up, then we're not really hurt. Supposed to be a one (1) year "prove-it" contract. Fingers crossed.!
