Richie Incognito, the guard who was suspended by the Dolphins last season for bullying teammate Jonathan Martin, wants back in the NFL. And he claims there is some interest around the league.
Incognito told USA Today that his agent is looking for opportunities and “we’ve had some nibbles.’'
But Incognito wouldn’t say which teams those nibbles have come from, nor would he say anything else.
“I’m not talking until I get picked up,’' said Incognito. “I’m standing pat on that.’'
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said that Incognito “has been very responsive” to the NFL’s request that he go through a program apparently designed to make sure he understands that bullying teammates is unacceptable. Goodell’s comments suggest that Incognito may not face any further discipline if he returns to the NFL. Now Incognito just needs some team to do more than nibble, and sign him to a contract.
