Jrick35 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I need the help of all of the knowledgeable Huddlers. With Chris Johnson's looming holdout and his threat to take it beyond camp if necessary I was wondering how many players have taken their hold outs into the regular season. Lets confine the list to players who have held out in the last 15 years. The first one that come to my mind is Crabtree from last year...who else can you remember?

skylive5 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Not sure if it was in the last 15 years.... but Galloway held out until he was traded. 10 games into the season I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Keenan McCardell had a ridiculous holdout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Emmit Smith held out 48 days and went to the Super Bowl that year Keenan McCardell held out 55 days which I think is the longest and definitely the most stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I googled holdouts and found where this guy held out as the 6th pick by the Chargers and played for the USFL instead and later came to the NFL. Mossy Cade (born December 26, 1961 in Eloy, Arizona) is a former professional American football player who played safety for two seasons for the Green Bay Packers. He attended the University of Texas, where he made the 1983 All-American team. Cade was convicted in 1987 of two counts of second degree sexual assault on a woman he was related to through marriage. [1] He was acquitted of a third count, and served 15 months in jail.[2] This incident earned him the nickname "The Aunteater". Upon release, he was signed by the Minnesota Vikings but was quickly released after public outcry over his signing WOW! How do you ever shake the nickname "The Aunteater"? He might as well get the tatoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Keenan McCardell held out 55 days which I think is the longest and definitely the most stupid. For that period. In 1985, Al Harris and Todd Bell held out of the entire season for the Bears. In 1987, rookie Kelly Stouffer held out the entire season from the Cardinals and re-entered the draft in 1988 where the Seahawks drafted him.

WOW! How do you ever shake the nickname "The Aunteater"? He might as well get the tatoo. Actually the 6th overall pick in the first round. And the Packers traded a 1st for his rights.

Savage Beatings Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Not the longest, but I seem to recall Bryant McKinnie holding out for quite a while as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Not the longest, but I seem to recall Bryant McKinnie holding out for quite a while as well. 98 days he held out his first year. Only reason he signed was he ran out of food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 An article from 2005..... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp...&id=2116504 Looks like Gilbert of the 'Skins held out the whole year. Tought to beat that holdout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm a degenerate, but that is the funniest sheet I've read in awhile. That's a frickin brilliant nickname. I could care less about the rest of this thread as "the Aunteater" is pure gold.

I could care less about the rest of this thread as "the Aunteater" is pure gold. I know. I could not stop laughing. I could just picture him late in life being introduced as "Mossy Cade, former USFL and NF player and college all-american" and then the other guy goes "hey I know this dude... how do I know.... oh yeah - YOU'RE THE AUNTEATER!"

Pope Flick Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 For that period. In 1985, Al Harris and Todd Bell held out of the entire season for the Bears. In 1987, rookie Kelly Stouffer held out the entire season from the Cardinals and re-entered the draft in 1988 where the Seahawks drafted him. That right there was the longest, and dumbest holdout in NFL history. How'd you like to hold out and get replaced by Wilbur Marshall and Dave Duerson (who went to the Pro Bowl that year) respectively while the D turned in the greatest performance to date in the NFL? Whoops! Talk about MISSING THE PARTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Did they at least get into the music video? No, but Al Harris had no problem signing my SB XX program when I handed it to him with no idea who he was in 1986. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Brown, Payton, Sanders - all just a product of their lines. If they had to make to with what Emmitt had, they would be even further behind Smith's records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
