Patriots CB convicted of felony assault

[Mr. Scot]

Per PFT (link)

Dennard was a starter as a rookie last season (7th round draft pick).

.......offseason sucks

[Mr. Scot]

The incident in question actually happened before the draft.

A lot of teams bypassed him because of it (he was graded as a high pick) but the Pats drafted him anyway.

May turn out he was a one year rental.

PFT says he'll be out for a while due to his conviction and also probably suspended by the NFL.

I don't get how the NFL can suspend him for an incident that took place BEFORE he was even an NFL employee... that makes no sense to me.

probably because you are innocent until proven guilty [at least thats what they say]... and he will be convicted while an employee.

Maybe, but I still don't agree with it.

Some things just don't make sense to me, and that is one of them.

Another one is how did Von Miller particapate in a lawsuit against the NFL before he was even drafted??

He won't serve any time, he'll get out by paying his way out. It's all about the money.

He doesn't have much money, he's a 7th rounder. Plaxico, or Vick couldn't "pay" their way out of their jail-time and they had much more money than him.

Good!

Typically, you buy your way out of jail time PRIOR to the conviction. Maybe by getting charges dropped, reduced, etc. Once you're convicted of a particular crime, money isn't the biggest issue anymore.

And like someone else mentioned, he's a 7th rounder. I probably have more money in my 401k than he does in his bank account.

I think he was convicted of assault on a cop. Good chance he gets time
