The Dallas radio talking heads are still saying suspended sentence, fines, community service and maybe a suspension by the NFL.

After that, back to business.
If this is his first arrest that probably plays into it pretty heavily.

6 million dollar signing bonus, which he collects right away, but for accounting it's spread over 3 years in addition to his 1.5 million salary. For cap purposes he counts for 4 million against the cap this season. For a RB it's a decent size contract that says starter not backup.
Pollard's salary certainly suggests starter. But I've never really put a whole lot into that. Salary, draft stock.. all it equates to are chances/opportunity. Ask ol Matt Flynn, he'll tell ya.

But yes, until proven otherwise Pollard is most likely to lead the backfield in carries.

Oh I'm sure there will be a plea deal, guilty to lesser charges, which is probably why they're all starting as felonies.

Thing is.. the judge is never bound to the terms of the plea bargains, at least as far as sentencing goes.

If this is his first arrest that probably plays into it pretty heavily.

Well, there's still the matter of leaving the scene of an accident involving injured people.

I wonder when that's gonna come into play?

I would assume all the misdemeanors would be either bargained away pre-trail, or filed shortly beforehand, if there is to be a trail. There's always time to file more stuff. Another card for the DA to play in the plea bargains

There won’t be a trial. My guess is he’ll do the right thing, apologize personally, pay restitution, say he’s had to grow up a lot in the past weeks, say he’s grateful nobody was hurt worse by his stupidity, and take whatever the judge gives.

Agree %100..as long as he gets the DA to agree to a plea with no felonies. If he can't get that..I sure wouldn't bet on it.

WFAA reports an arrest warrant has been issued for Chiefs WR Rashee Rice for his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas in late March.
Rice faces six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault from the arrest warrant. He previously admitted to driving the Lamborghini involved in the multi-vehicle crash that took place on March 30th in Dallas. Now that the arrest warrant has been issued for Rice, he will have a day to turn himself into the police. The 23-year-old Chiefs receiver could also see an NFL suspension, though the specifics may not be determined until after the matter has been resolved legally.

Sutton kinda surprises me. He's due more than 15 million this year, and has done jack sqwat since 2019. Yeah he had 10 scores last year, but every other stat was severely lacking for a "#1" WR. What exactly does he think 50-60 catches and 800 yards is worth?

Honestly, he should be thankful they didn't outright cut him, cuz he wouldn't get 15 million in the open market.

Did you see the Kevin James movie about Sean Peyton? I realize Hollywood takes creative liberties with the actual facts, but that movie didnt exactly show him as a "people person."

I guess my point is maybe Sutton would rather be out of that environment. As the saying goes "money isnt everything."

I did. Overall not the greatest movie, but it was entertaining to a certain point. Considering Sean is in that damn thing, I would assume he signed off on the way his character was portrayed, and yes, it wasn't as a 'people person' in the slightest. Although, the personal growth that Kevin James character goes through was probably exaggerated to make him a little more likeable.

It's hard to say, I mean Sutton probably has gotten used to having 'carte blanche' with a defensive Vance Joseph not having a clue what the offense was doing (something he readily admitted to), and a putz like Nathaniel Hackett who let Russel Wilson run the asylum, and RW didn't care about much of anything other than his brand. And having a detail oriented perfectionist like Sean now calling the shots was likely quite the culture shock.

But Sean does have a loyal following, much like his mentor Parcells, "his guys' (Trautman, Manhertz, Lil Jordan, Callaway, Tony Jones, D. Washington, M. Burton, Maher, and Lutz) followed him to Denver, so there must be something in him that appeals to some types of players.

Well, perhaps with his personality flaws, the guy knows football.
Nice synopsis of the movie too. Siskle & Ebert would be proud.
