the hypocritical and inconsistent FO strikes again.

They have no problem keeping TaAmu on the team despite his 10-15 felony charges including trying to kill cops. And it isn't his first brush with the law either.

Not to mention the past allegations against Harrison.


Not defending Rainey, but he sure looks to being scapegoated here. Team is sending a message I guess.

FML
We already don't have enough draft picks this year, now we gotta use one on a KR/PR/speed back. AGAIN.

I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit uneasy every time he returned a kick. He's fast as hell and has some nice moves. I won't miss him.
