I think your excuse making for him personally. 17 is old enough to know right from wrong. Every 17 I know never slugged a girl so hard he knocked her out cold. I'm sorry that has nothing to do with age.

this isn't like i was 17 and smoked weed and took a picture of it. This is the low of low you can go. You keep referencing this one situation. He has about 5 or 6 other incidents within a 3-4 period. I'm sorry where there is that much smoke there is fire with this dude. No way I would touch him with a 10 foot pole.

Give me Samaje Perine any day over that dude. Perine is a great dude and a good player.



Doesn't matter mp. He didn't do this last year. He had a troubled childhood so now he has to be blacklisted? He's going to get drafted tonight mp. Probably in round 2.

Lots of people have troubled childhoods and still know that was wrong. The NFL should conduct themselves like any other business and take background checks seriously. He couldn't go work at McDonalds next year if he had aggravated assault on his record why should he get a job in the NFL?

Because the NFL is an entertainment industry. Why should Chris Brown be signed to a major record label? If I'm a GM, I would work on forcing him to see a psychiatrist, meditation sessions, and get mental tests.

Being signed to a record label isn't comparable. Unlike a sports organization a record label is not as liable for an artists failures. For the most part whatever money a label gives an artist to produce an album is expected back and whatever advances given before as well. If the album makes no money the artist is still liable for whatever the costs where and will get no money until everything is paid back. If an owner signs a player with issues who gets himself into trouble it will be a lot tougher to get those millions spent back.

Rookie contract scale allows you to take those risks. If a player makes a singular mistake and overcomes it through his pro career, he's looked upon a steal. If he commits another crime, you cut him and take the loss. Draft picks in rounds 2-4 don't make enough for you to lose your job over a crime.

The money isn't as important as the backlash these teams get from their fanbase and liberal human rights activists. Teams should want to hold a higher public image. I love that the Giants are very mindful of this and only bring in high character players.

The NFL black balled Collin Kaepernick for standing for freedom and his civil rights in efforts for progression yet Ben Roethisburger doesn't get suspended. The NFL is a corrupt business

Ouch that hurts. Don't know why they would cut him. He was actually one of the better blockers last season at TE and made plays as a reciever. Chock another one up to the Browns.

They need to tank for Darnold or Rosen next draft. It would be well worth it.
