In 12 NFL seasons
John Tavares Jersey , Brandon Marshall has never been to the playoffs.
Now, he’s joining a team that would conceivably give him a chance.
Marshall sent out word via Instagram today that he had joined the Seahawks. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that it’s a one-year deal, worth a maximum of $2
million if he hits all his incentives.
The 34-year-old wide receiver was released by the Giants this offseason, after playing just five games last year because of an ankle injury. He’s a few
years removed from peak productivity, but caught 109 passes for 1
Casey Cizikas Jersey ,502 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Jets in 2015.
The Seahawks are in the midst of a considerable retooling, and clearly needed to reinforce their offense after a number of offseason departures including wide
receiver Paul Richardson.
A former New Orleans Saints cheerleader has filed a discrimination complaint against the NFL team with the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.
Bailey Davis’ case was detailed in a New York Times article on Sunday. It says she was fired after posting a photo of herself to her private Instagram
account. It showed her in an outfit that the Saints said violated team rules
against its cheerleaders appearing nude, seminude or in lingerie. The Times also
says the team was looking into whether she attended a party attended by Saints
players – a rule violation Davis denies.
Her EEOC complaint states the team has two sets of rules: one for the cheerleaders, who are all women; another, for the players.
The New York Times report said the Saints anti-fraternization policy requires cheerleaders to avoid contact with players
Womens Devante Smith-Pelly Jersey , in person or online, even though players are not penalized for pursuing such engagement with cheerleaders. The
cheerleaders must block players from following them on social media and cannot
post photos of themselves in Saints gear. The same rules don’t apply to players,
the report said.
”If the cheerleaders can’t contact the players, then the players shouldn’t be able to contact the cheerleaders,” said Sara Blackwell
Zdeno Chara Jersey , Davis’s lawyer. ”The antiquated stereotype of women needing to hide for their own protection is not permitted in America and
certainly not in the workplace.”
A team lawyer said in an email to the newspaper that Davis was not subjected to gender discrimination.
”The Saints organization strives to treat all employees fairly, including Ms. Davis,” Leslie A. Lanusse, a lawyer who is representing the Saints, said in an
email. ”At the appropriate time and in the appropriate forum
Juuse Saros Jersey , the Saints will defend the organization’s policies and workplace rules. For now, it is sufficient to say that Ms. Davis was not
subjected to discrimination because of her gender.”
