2nd time for a DUI. Craziness. D-Jarrett has been pulling a Kerry Collins. His lack of performance makes perfect sense now.

WTF is it with these dudes? You'd think after working your whole life to get to the Pros, it wouldn't be too hard to keep yourself from drinking away your career. The bars in Charlotte aren't THAT good.

Callins was tame compared ot the icker that had so many DWI's that he rented out his condo to Okafore in the Pepto building Uptown, so the Police couldn't serve him! (I think he signed with Denver and them New England after that.)

I can't believe the Panthers got cut Keyshawn for him! (Stupid move #1 on the Panther's part!)

And to answer someone's question:

More than two-thirds of the 32 NFL teams, including the Jets, have such programs, which stress confidentiality. The NFL Players Association also has a program, and the league has one for non-players.

The union's round-the-clock program, which it took over from the league in 2009 at the NFLPA's request, is available in all NFL cities and some additional areas. There are no out-of-pocket fees for players except the cost of the ride.

"We wanted to do it for every player," NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said. "If it overlaps with a team's program, great."

The NFL's program, Safe Ride Solutions, covers all other club and NFL employees.

The overlapping programs of the union and the Jets - theirs is called PlayerProtect - apparently were ignored by Edwards. He was arraigned on drunken-driving charges

Twenty-two of the 32 teams told The Associated Press they have programs for the players that supplement the union's coverage.

Six teams did not respond to requests for information on safe rides for players:

CAROLINA, New England, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Seattle.

The Chicago Bears said they don't have a program. Spokesman Scott Hagel said in an e-mail to the AP: "My understanding is the NFLPA has a service that accommodates all the NFL teams."

The Cleveland Browns said they are in discussions with a company to provide supplemental coverage to the union's policy for players.

Neither of the 2010 Super Bowl teams provided information. Spokesmen for the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts both said they don't discuss such programs.

The Buffalo Bills are among the most proactive teams in trying to safeguard players who recognize they shouldn't get behind the wheel. The Bills have two programs: "A Safe Way Home" and "Designated Drivers of Buffalo."

Front-office personnel also encourage players to use the NFLPA program "when they are outside of Buffalo, at home, for example, during the offseason," Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold said in an e-mail.

"We first recommend to players that if they are going out as a group to plan ahead and select one person who will refrain from drinking alcohol and serve as a designated driver," Berchtold said. "If they are not planning to select a designated driver from the group or if they are not in a group setting, we have two programs they can utilize."

The Texans have a similar program with Red Carpet, a Houston transportation company. Players and other employees set up service with the company individually, so the Texans aren't necessarily aware if any employee uses the service - unless charges aren't paid.

"Again, use of Red Carpet is voluntary, but we encourage you to use this service or some alternate means of transportation should you find yourself in an impaired situation," the team says in a letter to all its employees, including players. "Your safety and the safety of others are critical."

he obviously had some value if we refused to trade him...

If he didn't have any value, we could have just laughed and cut him...

I guarantee you that he'll be playing at a higher level somewhere once he gets all his personal stuff straightened out... Just doing that will prove he has value...

Get over it!!!!!!!! He sucks!!!!!!

Oh, I'm sure there are worse offenders for Alcohol abuse in the NFL, but Collins was our hometown boozer who became a bust for the Panthers. Guess DJ wanted to give us all a reason for someone else to associate Panthers with AA.
