Glad to see they're sticking with Boyle (for now).

So the next iteration of the movie 'Dumb and Dumber' should be 'Dumb, Dumber and Nick Boyle'.

I can barely comprehend any player who has already been suspended to not be totally diligent about knowing every banned substance to avoid further jeopardizing their NFL career. Boyle, no matter what you were thinking, 1 thing is for sure, you certainly weren't thinking. I was really impressed with Boyle last season but it ticks me off that he has hurt the team as well as himself.

per the article, Harbs made it seem as though Boyle knew exactly why he failed the test and he knew he shouldn't take it but did so anyways.

He's just selfish to do this to his team

Knucklehead. Are you dumb, or do you really need that stuff? I thought we finally had a baller at the tight-end position.

Dumb and Dumber

[purpledown]

wow seems like the TE position was strong a few days ago,lol. I hope this doesnt turn into the offseason from hell.

One more failure and Nick will be saying' "Do you want fries, with that".

do you want PEDs with that

[Militant X 1]

There’s no explanation for dumb......SMH!

Really worry that once the PEDs are gone, the talent is gone with it. We'll have to see how he performs once he gets back. Might not be good enough.

Was thinking the very same thing, hoping he tears it up in the gym and proves to himself and the team that he don't need PEDs (was gonna say juice but we might need our HB/TE) lol

Exactly right. Failing the test again must have blown Harbs mind that Boyle did not learn the first time and get his act together.

Dang ... we drafted 2 TEs last year and the position is still a "priority" Sheesh.

[nebraskafan03]

now we have room for daniel brown as TE

[aaronmicah]

should cut him. if the 10 game suspension stands and isn't appealed...he will have practically missed an entire season because the kid cant stop taking drugs. and you're paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars. smh ravens...

[MTRavensFan]

We're not paying him anything until the suspension is served. Then we get to decide if we bring him back or cut him.  We literally have nothing to lose by giving him another chance to turn it around.

their definition of "performance enhancing" is pretty loose

[ravens775]

Henry Krieger-cobble would be a nice pick-up in the draft. Still a fan of Boyle tho

[ravens775]

Yes.

Seems like that has been our luck lately. Going from a stacked and promising group to a "what to do now" scenario

[slowboater]

Dumb? That is not having the capacity to know better, like being ignorant. Boyle had that capacity. Boyle, in reality, is more like an "idiot".

[picke]

Harbaugh forgives but doesn't forget. Boyle needs to come back and double down on hard work and commitment to the team.

He is not doing himself any good either. Nobody knows yet how many millions he has cost himself
