Or just say "fuck the draft" and let players sign as free agents out of college. There is still a salary cap in place. You are free to decide how much you want to believe in a 19 year old kid who may be the next great thing, or could be a colossal bust. The player has other teams to use for leverage, and teams don't…

Was there a different title up there before? Because "Why I believe Jameis Winston's Accuser" doesn't seem out of bounds to me. Newspapers often publish editorials where the title is an opinion, and it's understood the opinion belongs to the author, not the paper as a whole. Since every Gawker site is designed to be…
