Former Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was posthumously diagnosed with Stage 1 chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). There are four stages with Stage 4 showing the most damage.

Kneeland died by suicide in November 2025 at the age of 24.

Boston University's CTE Center made the diagnosis after Kneeland's family donated his brain for research.

Kneeland's family, including his girlfriend Catalina Mancera, put out a statement:

"While this diagnosis does not change the tragedy of his passing, it provides important context about some of the struggles he may have been facing. We share this information to help people understand what NFL and other high contact sport athletes might be struggling with. Raising awareness is important to us. We continue to remember Marshawn with compassion for the person he was, rather than defining him by the final moments of his life. One Love."

The BU CTE Center made a point of saying that suicide is "complex and multifactorial" and "a post-mortem CTE diagnosis should not be considered the cause of a suicide."

According to records obtained by ESPN, there had been concerns about Kneeland's mental health as far back as 2020 when he was at Western Michigan. In one incident, he was required to turn in his firearm to police until he was cleared by a counselor.

In another, a friend called authorities with concern over Kneeland's well-being. He was found on railroad tracks, saying he hoped a train would run him over. He was hospitalized.

Texas police found Kneeland's body in the early morning of Nov. 6, 2025 after he had evaded officers during a traffic pursuit, crashed his car and fled on foot. According to a report released Friday by the Texas Department of Public Safety, a trooper saw Kneeland's car speeding down the highway, sometimes traveling more than 145 miles per hour and making "several unsafe lane changes."

The trooper ultimately lost sight of Kneeland's car. While officers searched for Kneeland,While officers searched for Kneeland, they said they received information that he had expressed "suicidal ideations."

Rui goes off the board 2 years 28 mil to Clippers

That's pretty much it until Duran gets done for notable Free agents unless there's another trade. Denver still has to make a move too for salary probably too. Lebron also still has a decision to make too.

Now for 2023 draft class rookie extensions this week. Wemby obviously is chief among those at $300 mil out the Thompson twins could get interesting. Are they max players?

Much younger than Golden State at least.

I really don't see LeBron staying in the West if he truly "wants to win a title".

Brown has been in trade rumors at least the 3 years and probably longer than that. They feel Tatum is better.

After that Giannis trade didn't work and all crap about analytics this week Boston had to trade him. There was no way that bridge was going to be mended. Boston got screwed hard by Milwaukee in multiple ways. And George will not make that pill any easier to swallow.

They could've at least done Murray, Dame, the Trey Murphy trade. Anything other than this imo.

Spurs got a their 4. Will be interesting to see whether Julian or Tobias starts.

Spurs had $15 mil to spend and Tobias jumped first. I'm not sure who else has $15 mil but Rui might be SoL for a contender.

He is but only in Vegas

Lakers officially going to score 136 a game this season while giving up 152.

O/U on how many Tylenol JJ Reddick has taken in the last 30 minutes?

John Collins deal is only one guaranteed year and two non guaranteed years.

Either he saw 3/51 million and just accepted it, or teams around the league are penny pinching hard thanks to the cap rules.

Might be both.

Collins is like a back up QB that just stays in the league riding the pine for millions.

Keeps managing to get paid lmao.

Jordan back with Pelicans
Deng back with Bucks
Bones back with Minnesota

We're off
