Ja'Wuan James injuries Achilles
Broncos' OT Ja'Wuan James suffered a season-ending torn Achilles working out today away from the team facility, per sources. James' $10 million salary for the upcoming season now is in jeopardy being that Denver no longer is obligated to pay him with him working out off site.

Denver is probably on the phone right now to the agent for Mitchell Schwartz.
This also brings up an interesting dilemma for the NFL and NFLPA. If James were at the Broncos facility when he was hurt, he gets all $10M. Are players going to wonder if the NFLPA made the best decision for them when they advised them not to attend offseason workouts?
The NFLPA has generally done a very poor job of looking out for the players. They're playing checkers, and the owners are playing 3D chess.

that was my thoughts as well. The players and union are all for avoiding the in facility workouts, but this hurts the players in the long and short run.
The #Broncos released RT Ja'Wuan James today after he was placed on the non-football injury list with the intention to not pay him the $10M+ he was due in salary because he was injured away from the the facility. Expect James’ camp to fight it.

And this is why I have no issue with players looking out for themselves. Don't expect anyone else, including the team, to do it.
