Will Hill, though it's only been 2 years, has pulled a 180 in his overall career path.  Yes, he has had major flags that fly up from his past incidents, but has been clean (as far as we know) since Dec. 2013. 

At 26 years old, I would roll the dice. His infractions (other than the child alimony) have been selfish, immature drug charges (marijuana, adderall).  Baltimore was good for him, and I think our locker room and surrounding cast and coaching staff would keep him on the straight and narrow.

Hill

Damn.

Not gonna have to wait long it doesn't sound like for him to be on a roster.  After moving on from Hogwarts to Ole Miss again, there's zero reason in the world that actually matters (vs the politically correct one) that we shouldn't put our vise grip on the league by bringing our boy home.

Actually, there are definite reasons not to bring "our boy" home.

Besides the domestic violence issue (which is way more than just a "politically correct" thing) Hardy behaved like a knucklehead last year. He was reportedly late to meetings all the time and his on the field performance wasn't exactly anything special.

I know people will say "he wanted to be here". Well then he should have given it his best effort to be better. Slacking off with another team is not exactly the ideal way to get Dave Gettleman's attention.

He's not coming back.

Well he reportedly did the exact same thing when he was a Panther. We just kept a lid on it and gave him a pass because he was producing.

Ted Ginn was cut after one year of a three year deal in Arizona.  

It's truly insane what Ray Rice and Atlantic City elevator video did to Greg Hardy and the Carolina Panthers.  Would make for a good thesis actually.  Having his name drug through the mud at the worst time cost him untold millions, 21 games, all for charges that were ultimately dropped.  He was no 'saint' before?  Neither was Will Hill listed above but most would welcome him.  Yes indeed now is the time to buy low and bring our boy home.

Where's the Galette outrage today after his resigning?  Bueller?  Anyone?  Bueller?

The answer is no.

Usually teams don't cut good, young players on cheap contracts unless there is a reason. Here is your reason. Hill is a serial moron and it appears to have come back up like it usually does.

Rotoworld...

The Baltimore Sun reports free agent Will Hill is facing a possible suspension.

It explains why Hill was released from the Ravens. Hill has a history of off-field incidents, getting suspended for both substance abuse and PEDs. His latest issue could put him at risk for an indefinite ban.
 
Doesn't sound like this guys is gonna be playing anywhere this season.

You do crime, you do time.  I get it.  Unless you're Greg Hardy.  You plead innocence and serve 21 games for an alleged crime that prior to summer 2014 wouldn't have even received 6 games if convicted.

Hardy could have chosen to fight going on the exempt list, but he was on board with it.

Once he was on the list, he still could have shown up to support his teammates.  Instead, he treated it like a paid vacation.

He's not coming back.
