Simone Biles' Wedding News and Articles

[RedBirdie]

Going from the Houston suburbs to Green Bay is going to be one hell of a shock.

Nellie looks exquisite!!!

Simone won’t necessarily move to Wisconsin with him? I’m being hopeful but they could both do their sporty things for a couple of years and then reconvene, ya?

That assumes she wants to do gymnastics. Nothing lately has pointed in that direction.

Every relationship is different, but I wouldn’t marry someone just to then live apart.

Exactly. Even when you have the money to travel back and forth, it’s not exactly a short hop

Well, I am sure that she will keep her house.
Jonathan signed with the Packers, but no guarantee that he will be there permanently. There is always the possibility of being sent to a farm team or traded. Especially since Biles’ family will be in Texas. I am sure she will go back and forth and in off season Jonathan will come back to Texas.
Even if she decided to make a come back for next year, it would be only be for a few short months or maybe half the year. I’ve known married couples to do time periods longer apart.

There’s no farm teams in football. You’re either with the team or they cut you.

Oh!
I don’t follow football. For some reason I thought there was a minor league. I had assumed XFL was the minor league for NFL.

Some players that are cut get signed to the team’s practice squad, if they are not claimed by another team in waivers. Looks like Jonathan spent a a few years on the practice squad with the Texans before this past season where he made the 53-man roster.

 

[RedBirdie]

But practice squad isn’t a farm team. Its not like the practice squad is located in an entirely different place and has a whole separate set of coaches and plays against other practice squads. If a Green Bay player gets assigned to the practice squad, they’re still in Green Bay, still a Packer.

MLB has an extremely well-developed farm system. NHL has moved that direction. NBA has finally started it with the D-League. But the NFL has no comparable system.

Irich, the XFL is an alternative to the NFL (pretty sure this is the third attempt). Someone could play exceptionally well and get noticed by an NFL team. But there’s no formal relationship between the leagues allowing a “major” team to assign players down to a farm team for development purposes.

@RedBirdie thank you for the explanation
