After originally pleading not guilty, Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington entered a guilty plea Monday in an assault case.

He was originally arrested in May following a conflict with his ex-girlfriend and charged with two counts of assault. He pleaded not guilty at the time.

Washington is scheduled to be sentenced April 23.

-------------------------------

Daryl Washington plead guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault. He will be sentenced on April 23, according to Darren Urban.

I knew about this Friday because I follow the case on occasion. Thought about posting about the hearing being set but I figured they probably wanted to keep it as quiet as possible.

I was at the courthouse today on another case and saw Daryl walking with his attorney. I figured doing the dirty bird in the middle of the courthouse wasn't appropriate so i just gave him the head nod and went on my way.

He's not all that big, probably too slow to play MLB in the NFL. We shouldn't draft him. He'll be a bust.

The dirty bird would have been awesome.

Whats next. We wait for the sentencing first and the we wait for the other sentence from the NFL. Or maybe deals were made already? Crime doesn't pay. This is not a way grown ups do things !!!!! Stupid.

Hello Ryan Shazier

 

[Buckybird]

Sounds like a suspension is looming

IMO there's still only 1 real #58 & he flew to a cold weather city

I don't think he gets out of this without being suspended by the NFL. The only questions are how long it will be and who plays ILB for the Cards when he's out.

I'm guessing Washington gets suspended for 1 game. Maybe 2 at the most.

Alameda Ta'amu was suspended for 2 games his rookie year with the Steelers after he was arrested on “three felony counts of aggravated assault, a felony charge of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer and a felony count of aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence.”

I'm guessing they agreed to plea guilty after consulting the DA and the NFL about potential punishment. I bet he get's 4-8 games suspended in the NFL and some sort of a suspended sentence and probation by the DA.

No way. If you look at previous suspensions for aggrivated assault charges that seems like way too many games.

I hope you're right.

If he wasn't coming off of another suspension for PED's, I'd agree..but this is now a 3rd offense, at least, in the eyes of the NFL.

 

[gimpy]

I wouldn't think the NFL has anything to do with his pleading guilty.

Strike 3 isn't gonna get him just 1 game...bet that! Doesn't matter if his suspensions are related for the same thing or not.

Yeppers! DWash isn't walking away lightly...Hopefully it's not 8 games, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, this is important. I don't think he will serve time in prison but perhaps have to do so called community service along with being on probation.

The NFL may suspend him for 2 games, I don't think any more. This has nothing to do with the suspension for taking PEDs or whatever. He also has kept out of trouble and kept a low profile for the past year. He seems to have learned from his mistakes.

PEDs? I thought it was weed, not PEDs.

Nothing ever came out but all signs point to marijuana, not PEDs

It was not PEDs:

The policy Washington violated is separate from the one for the league concerning performance-enhancing drugs

My mistake, i think you are right.

So his lady person/baby mama wasn't "just making things up?"

I can't remember a 3rd strike? #1 Weed, #2 Assault, #3 ???

 

[BigRedRage]

I can't remember a 3rd strike? #1 Weed, #2 Assault, #3 ???

his weed suspension is rumored to be his second dirty drug test. not sure that counts as two strikes though.

The NFL lets the 1st positive test slide I believe. The 2nd gets punishment or put into the program

his weed suspension is rumored to be his second dirty drug test. not sure that counts as two strikes though.

1) drugs
2) drugs
3) assault

I'm sure that's 3 bad marks against his NFL name

 

[PJ1]

I say the best we can hope for is 4 games. He won't get less that is for sure.
