Rumor is it has something to with drugs entering and leaving the facility.

I take that to mean they are looking at whether he was selling pills.

I think we know who the buyer is…

Should be under investigation for the health and safety of Panthers players he was responsible such as Cam.

[Waldo]

Wasn't this guy touted here and elsewhere as being really good while working here?

Wow and yikes.

[Chaos]

Step 1: See if Sean Payton's number is in Vermillon's phone.  If so...

Step 2: Convict

Was he the trainer when the Panthers went to the Superbowl in '03 with the super roided up O-Line?

Uh oh... DEA "raided" the Washington team facility and WFT placed him on leave. Hope it doesn't come back around to us at all, which I can't imagine how it would at this point, but man he was here a long time under JR. Glad Tepper helped clean up our staff a bit.

So do I.  I lost a lot of faith in Vermillion over the years.  I didn't think he had the health of our players in the best interest of the team.

The rate of injuries this team had under his watch was astonishing. I always felt he was not a very good trainer

I don't know. I can't get with this mindset.

He's a physical therapist not the strength and conditioning coach.

S&C should be the one we get on about injuries. 

Vermillion just rehabs and mitigates injuries to get guys to February

Technically I suppose that could connect back to us if any of our players were customers of his.

If do, it'd likely have to be somebody who was here before Matt Rhule.

It really sounds like he was monetizing team assets for profit.
