Shotgun Messiahs Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I haven't heard anything since his return to camp. I was thinking about making a post like this since I have him in one of my leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmack29 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Everything I have read said that because he missed the mandatory deadline - he was suspended for 3 weeks including week 1. This was because they sent the letter through the NFL. Because he was placed on the Roster Exempt List, he was automatically given the 3 game suspension by the NFL upon signing the contract. This is not something that can be appealed. Gates is out for Week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't believe SD has even tried to pursue the means of activating him. I fully believe he will not be available for week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
