Ok...this Roquan Smith story keeps taking turn after turn. David Haugh and Dan Wiederer break down the latest on the saga, as on Monday the NFL Management Council sent out a memo to teams saying a person by the name of Saint Omni, who is not by the NFLPA, has been calling teams on behalf of Smith...which is definitely not allowed.
