T-Bomb Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Was their a history of this when he was drafted? You interview players to find out how ignorant/stupid they are? But I guess we all know, physical talent Trumps any of that in the NFL front offices, except for maybe the Patriots' FO.

But I guess we all know, physical talent Trumps any of that in the NFL, except for maybe the Patriots. From what I remembered at the time they felt really good abut Washington in that area. My concern about him was his run stop was not that great in College.....but he had legit pass rushing skills. I really hope this is not an issue.

Chandler#81 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Not sure how accurate my search was, but I only found a handful of firearms-related suspensions in league history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suspensions_in_the_National_Football_League (search for "firearm") Most say "alleged possession," so seems that a conviction isn't necessary. Duration of suspensions range from 2 games - 8 games (Tank Johnson). What I found most worrisome is that Plaxico Burress was suspended 4 games for shooting himself in the leg. He had that gun legally and did something stupid with it - like Washington. I'm guessing 1-2 games. Thanks Gug. Could be that Tank was a repeat offender. I'm guessing the added games for Burris were for 'just because..' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks Gug. Could be that Tank was a repeat offender. I'm guessing the added games for Burris were for 'just because..' Burris actually broke a couple laws, so - as Johnny pointed out by making me look like a total dumbass - there's really no comparison between the two situations (Plax and Washington).

Chandler#81 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Chandler - the title of this thread says he didn't have a permit. Not sure where that came from but it's not accurate, just wanted to let you know so it could be corrected. Thanks Yolo. I was trying to mimic and restart the thread GoBillsinDallas started.

#34fan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 The purpose of a handgun is homicide. -Period. if you carry, carry knowing that you may kill someone with it.

CanadianFan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Dude has a conceal/carry permit, correct? He just failed to inform the officers that he was in possession of his LEGAL firearm. I agree. Nothing to see here other than poor judgment on Adolphus' part. He isn't going to be convicted of anything. yeah I wonder if he'd be dead had he informed them that he's got a legal firearm.

If he was not asked by the officer or stopped by the officer he wasnt required to inform them he possesed a weapon. That said, the law says printed above the line you signed to get a permit in every state you must conceal yet you must inform if detained or questioned.

Once the police know 1) You have a gun on you, and 2) it's concealed... There's a whole different set of protocols.. One of the BEST things that could happen is being taken down to the station, IMO.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 He's probably looking at a 2-4 game suspension at the start of the 2018 season. ?? If you read the article, Washington has a valid Ohio concealed carry permit. I suspect he ticked off one of the officers and the officer decided to look for something to charge him with, and that a good lawyer will make it go away.

Apparently he was sitting in his car when he displayed the gun. The waterpark likely has signs prohibiting weapons inside the park, so that would be a violation harder to 'erase' but that doesn't seem to be in question.

RyanC883 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Maybe its the selfish in me but I dont want to hear about our players at all this time of year unless they are visiting a children's hospital or something...... Which by the way doesnt seem to get its share of pub because they DO that Exactly. As to your #2 point, the NFL really needs to do a better job advertising all of this. The only thing the media seems to report on are stories like Washington improperly carrying a gun that he has a permit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
