From what I understand, he leased the Lambo with the agreement that he was the only one authorized to drive the car.

Whoever was driving it, or the Corvette, they all sauntered away from the scene without any regard of what they might've done.

You're telling me there are no legal ramifications for this?

Even if that was the case, his regular car insurance would transfer the coverage on to the rental car. The only thing that an unauthorized driver on it would do is make the rental car company not liable for any of the damage, but his regular insurance company would still be liable regardless if the car was rented in his name. I'm not saying that it makes any sense, but like I said being stupid isn't an exclusion from your insurance company being liable for your dumbass. All of this changes if there's a fatality or a major injuries. If any of those occur then you can be charged with a felony for fleeing the scene and do jail time on top of losing your license, but when there are only minor injuries none of that applies. Now don't get me wrong, one of these people once they realize he's an NFL player might all of the sudden "discover" some extra injuries they didn't have originally.

Personal Injury Lawsuit Guide 2024

In any personal injury lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant is liable for their injuries. This means showing that they were negligent or otherwise at fault for the accident.

Negligence is failing to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances. In other words, the defendant failed to act as a reasonable person would have in the same situation.

From what I understand, if they'd waited until after June 1st to trade him, next year's cap hit would be 8.8 mil.

That's kind of a big difference.

I read somewhere that it's the biggest cap hit for a WR in NFL history. Not sure if that's true.

But June 1 is after the draft , gotta do what ya gotta do

And in the long (or short) run, it ain't our money, so...

 

[TKOSpikes]

He's only pushing 31, for a receiver, that's not too terrible. He could easily be a 1300 and 10 guy for another season or two.

The sad thing is that its obvious that his 'give a fuck' gave out last year. They still threw him 8 targets a game the second half, on their way to a 6-2 finish, he just didn't do much with them. 1 score and a high of 87 yards, most games were less than 40yards.

I just can't wrap my head around what his problem is/was, sure the team was having a crap year, but that last 8 games or so was an amazing run, you'd think a guy could get motivated during that?

I called him a diva when we traded for him (along with many)...he proved me wrong...until he proved me right.

Then he shit the bed in crunch time.

Bye

Once again, still isn't going to matter, the insurance company is going to pay no matter what. As I hear every day from clients. That's what insurance is for. Of course it's the same clients that then bitch when their rates go up after the insurance company has to pay out thousands of dollars for the stupid shit they did.

Thinking Rice gets hit with a fine from the shield and maybe 2 game suspension at most. Wouldn't be surprised to see him dodge the suspension altogether. Getting in a car accident isn't an offense worthy of suspension, players union would roast the league in appeals

 

[SmokingMonkey]

They'd have to prove that he was actually racing in a hearing of some kind to suspend him, good luck with that

Leaving a scene of an accident is a felony isn't it?

 

[broncosmitty]

Leaving a scene of an accident is a felony isn't it?

Not if there aren’t any significant injuries.

Just a misdemeanor.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

This video should be enough I think.

 

[TREFF]

Well they can certainly prove that he was recklessly endangering the lives of others, and that is worthy of a suspension. Not entirely different than waiving a loaded gun in a crowded room, which he'd also probably get suspended for.

There isn't gonna be a whole lot that will come out if this, suspension wise, but it won't be nothing

 

[SmokingMonkey]

This video should be enough I think.

2 people driving like idiots, would have to prove that they were actually racing, which would require one of them to snitch, and again, good luck there. Most major cities have real drag racing issues and lots of new laws to go after those folks, but it's gonna be a stretch to apply in this situation.

If a buddy gives me the keys to their Vette and they jump in a Lambo and were both in our early 20s.... yeah, we'll be making good time whilst making bad choices, it happens. No major injuries or any major laws being broken, no major punishment.

Well, this is interesting...

The Texans removed the final three years of Stefon Diggs’ current contract, making him eligible for free agency after 2024.


In what is one of the more interesting moves we’ve seen by a team in recent memory, the Texans not only removed the final three years of Diggs’ contract, but took the $3.5 million he was guaranteed for 2025 and added it to his 2024 pay, giving him $22.52 million in guaranteed money this season. Diggs, 30, was under contract through the 2027 season, but will now get to play for the Texans on what’s essentially a one-year deal. Diggs now has a chance to play his way into a lucrative new contract this season, although it will be interesting to see what kind of offer could fetch ahead of what would be his age-31 season.

Best way to get the most out of these overly emotional but talented WRs, contact year bump on the way, he's gonna play hungry for the last time in his career

So I honestly think this Diggs move might end up being the most fascinating thing to watch this season. If his head is right, he could make them good enough to compete with the Chiefs and make a Super Bowl run. He could also blow up the team chemistry completely by week 8, cause a lot of infighting, and make them miss the playoffs. Either thing is completely possible. I think cutting the last three years was just as much to motivate him to be option A as it is an out for them if it's option B.

Personally I think them signing Mixon will have a bigger affect on the overall offense than the Digg's trade. Pretty sure Nico, Tank, Brown, Schultz all proved that they can get the job done down the field just fine once Stroud proved he was the real deal, the only thing they didn't have was a reliable rushing game. Diggs doesn't change that equation in the slightest. Is he an upgrade outside the numbers, yeah, I guess, but nothing like going from Pierce/Singletary to what Mixon SHOULD bring to the table.
Spending an insane amount rebuilding the Defense is what'll really make the difference in challenging for the playoffs/Super Bowl

Even if he was street racing, it is still just speeding essentially and we see it every year. A young kid going 120 in a 45. I doubt he gets an punishment from Goodell.

Like I said, I think overall good for both teams. Houston has money and they have a QB on a rookie contract. KC did it with Mahomes, you can take these risks and spend. Houston did that this offseason.
Even though Buffalo has the dead cap I think they got a hell of a return an aging WR that was essentially forcing his way out. LA got a 4th for Keenan and he wasn't forcing out, he just didn't want a paycut. Dallas traded Cooper for a 5th. Good deal for BUF

They are definitely a top team on paper. The AFC seemed like a dogfight last year but some teams took a step back it seems. Chargers took a step back. Bills took a step back.
The only thing that is really clear is KC with Mahomes is clearly at the top.

Texans, Bengals, Browns probably are the top dogs to compete with KC at this point, before the draft.
Teams that could be on that list are Steelers, Dolphins, Jags and Jets. Get Allen a couple stud WR's and who knows...I just think they could be a couple years away if they build right. Allen always gives them a chance.
