Ummm this.
I dont freak out about the 4 Game Suspension like everyone else. Ill take him at face value he learned his lesson. You scared of keeping young pro bowl guys like Josh Gordon and Richard Sherman too?
He smoked weed. I barely think that should be ANY suspension and think in next 2 years with new laws in Washington and Colorado it wont be.
So are you asking me should we not pay a reasonable contract and overall bonus to our best player IMHO because he smoked some weed? LOL, The people freaking about 10 million dollars dont get the contract. What he was signed to was an AMAZING deal and one of the few things I give Rod Graves credit for. In order to get that amazing yearly pay for a 24 year old Pro Bowler they had to throw in a big balloon payment like a signing bonus. Its not that big a deal and I am certainly not not paying it to keep Dansby, Shaugnessey, and Rucker. frankly im surprised that even was brought up.
Ignore the bonus when it kicks in and look at the cap hit in 2015, 2016, and 2017......

Umm seem like a good deal for a guy in his prime???
There is a risk for sure but not one that says you should CUT him. You can be as sanctimonious as you want about pot. Me (and the Cardinals and every other NFL team with a brain) will keep the guy. The only people its valid to are people with agendas who cant stand they were wrong on the guy and people who like to talk just to talk. It wont happen, shouldnt happen, and is a terrible idea/opinion/thread.
Not that I have a strong opinion on this or anything
