Pickers mailbag: Too much confusion over Jurrell Casey comments

We're less than a week from the start of camp, so I hope you are ready to crank up your reading.

If you haven't yet listened to the Blake Beddingfield podcast, you really need to.

And here's a Periscope from earlier this week.

PK: I don’t even think there is an issue here. He’s going to do what he did last year, which is raise a fist at the conclusion of the anthem. (He said as much, and he liked a tweet where I wrote that is all this amounts to.)

It got distorted because he wasn’t especially clear saying he’d protest “during the flag.” And the fines don’t work the way he seems to think.

Steve Underwood clarified the whole deal from the team perspective -- this is from The Tennessean from The Tennessean through ESPN.com.

"In the case of Jurrell Casey, I think our head coach (Mike Vrabel) and general manager (Jon Robinson) are interested in having a conversation after he gets back from the United Kingdom," Titans CEO and team president Steve Underwood said at a sports authority meeting Thursday, per the Tennessean. "We think there may be some misunderstanding on his part."

“Because the new league new policy does not provide anywhere that fines are made against players. If a player doesn't stand, the teams can be fined, but not the players.”
