Countdown to Daryl Washington's Release

AFAIK, D-Wash still has a home in AZ. People have seen him at the gym and played rec hoops with him. I think he has a girlfriend and spends time with his family.
It is a good sign that we've not heard from him as legal situations are made public, but there's a reason he hasn't played since 2013.

This whole topic is going to become very interesting with all that is going on with this movement towards allowing marijuana in the league. The stuff that came out on ESPN today is absolutely fascinating. The work the Jake Plummer is involved in is even more fascinating. At some point we will probably hear from D-Wash, and may find out that he simply did not want to live with the pain and the prescription painkillers needed to play in the league. We all assume (and mostly rightfully so) that it is simply selfish behavior, but do we really know what he is dealing with? Hint: we don't.

They're going to allow weed in the NFL? Since it's legal in Denver, do the Broncos allow players to use it, or is it a league mandated thing?

What I don't understand is that Ray Rice beat his then fiance(now wife) unconscious, on camera, and he was technically eligible to play by the middle of last season. Josh Gordon, a multiple weed offender, keeps getting reinstated. But Darryl Washington is perma banned from the league. Doesn't make sense.

Job says you cannot smoke. He smoked.
He also signed a contract for big money and then knowingly did things so that he didn't have to work for it.
Whatever he is "dealing with" I have no sympathy for because he has the money, and thus the support to deal with it better than 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the people on this planet that have ever lived.
Thus I don't know what he is dealing with, and honestly, do not care because there is no excuse about how he went about dealing with it. He is a lying, scumbag, cheat of a person just based on his actions. He doesn't have to care about that, I fully understand, but that is his legacy.
That and getting jump-flipped over by Jerome Simpson, and being one of the A, #1, examples against legalizing pot, with his actions.
His mother and family should be so proud..
NFLPA mandated it is illegal to use as an NFL player regardless of laws.

This take is as fundamentally sound as your takes on Robert Aguayo and Joey Bosa.
Im right on those too

Of course you are. Aguayo is 33rd in FG% and 31st in PAT%: http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...y=FIELD_GOAL_KICKER&d-447263-s=KICKING_FG_PCT
Bosa is a favorite to win DROY and shares the lead among rookies in sacks after two games.

A 30 year old linebacker who self-admittedly said his skills were more physical than mental, that has not played a snap in the NFL for 3 years, to come back and play for a team not going to the playoffs this year, or next, and has the reputation of being a lying, cheat of a bastard ?
Yeah, I will pass. Today, tomorrow, and every day that follows.

See how emotional you are. Logic is not rooted in passion.
30 is not old. Physically hes still among the elite. Hes an all pro player at a position where we struggle. Hed absolutely help us win games.

How can you say that for sure when he hasn't played football for 3 seasons? Mike Williams (USC) and Maurice Clarett were among the physical elite and they couldn't regain their form after 1 year away from football.

Lest ye forget, he hasn't been punished for the DV incident, which would tack on another 2-6 games automatically upon reinstatement.
D-Wash turned 30 last month and hasn't played since 2013. Given those circumstances, how could you have any optimism that he'd be any good if he were reinstated tomorrow?

30 is prime. No reason to think he cant be in top shape. As far as time away, its football. Hes been playing all his life. I havent ridden a bike in 10 years. Pretty sure I could jump on and be fine.
Considering his competition for a starting gig is Minter, Id think he would win out easily assuming he was physically in shape.

I'm going to pretend that you didn't equate bike riding to playing inside linebacker and figure this should be in a different section of this MB.
It sure is

Richard Dumas says you're wrong.
Same *******... all the talent in the world. Super elite athlete, got suspended for drugs, was gone for 1.5 years and came back and looked like a shell of himself.
What makes you even think Washout is even in shape or cares anymore? Oh yeah... nothing.
