News: Damontae Kazee Arrested

[MonsterD]

Good bye Kazee, hello Hooker or Wilson, whoever replaces him.

Just playing devil's advocate here.. Kazee might have been like a million other people who thought to himself.. "I only had a couple, I'm fine..." I think assuming he was three sheets to the wind is an overreaction. Most guys have enough sense not to get behind the wheel if they're that far gone. But I suspect most people think they are okay to drive after a couple of beers or shots.. Because they don't "feel" drunk or impaired.

More true than you even think. Not only is there Uber, but NFL players have access to a SPECIAL service through Uber that provides free rides since the NFLPA arranged for it in 2013.

Unless that has gone away at some point with me missing it, there is especially no excuse.

Yep. JJ used to have one for his players. Maybe even a limo service. He has his players set up. But they get the fancy cars and want to drive them. T-Will wrecked his nice car and tried to blame it on his friend wrecking it. Then wrecked on his moped or bike on camera. That was hilarious. But ended his career. Made 12 million and could have made more. The talent don’t match the money they want.

I was drunk after the win to bro, but I stay home.

They think they are just that right kind of drunk to where they drive even better.

its beyond me why these guys dont take ride services..i mean it a basic MISD DUI/ DWI ,no one was hurt he wasn't blotto, so not big deal as losing as its not habitual or has ben past issue..lets get past it..

he was close to losing a lot of snaps to hooker anyway

Wilsons back as well,.

so im not too worried either way..its not a felony so lets give the guy some slack.

 

[J_Allen]

Innocent until proven guilty. He had probably just rinsed his mouth out with Listerine and was on his way to church. We don't know the details.

 

[uvaballa]

The bye week always spells disaster for someone on this team. Get a Lyft idiot!

Legally, Kazee will be fine. Let's just be glad nobody got hurt.

However, the court of judge Roger Goodell is a whole other story. Thankfully Dallas has three other really good safeties right now.

 

[blueblood70]

IF convicted its a 3 game suspension, taking for granted that it's his 1st offence.

it will take year if it ever goes to court..doesn't effect this yeart its

misd. type, not a felony. If first offense, i doubt he gets suspended at all..

lets let the facts come out first..

,man some of you all over this guy he will be available for the rest of the season.. book it..

 

[Grenic]

Well of course

it wont matter takes 6monyhs to year for court date and the lawyer can make sure it far past this season before its heard..he can play until then..

Professional athletes who can afford Lyft/Uber should always choose that option. The risks is way too costly. Now instead of spending $50 he’s going to lose a few game checks which is a lot more.

With a one year contract here it sounds like Kazee will have trouble finding a team in 2022 then.

Agreed, the amount of overreaction on here to a mistake that normal and decent people have made before is a bit extreme. If he broke the rules, takes his suspension by the rules, and it doesn't come up again I think it should be viewed as what it is: a stupid mistake.

Luckily we have options at the position and he will rightly be knocked down the depth chart for at least the short term.

Been in the league 5 years and has made almost 6 million. He needs to keep his head down and be concentrating on work. I know he is young and handed a few million dollars and I would likely be out doing some partying to. But man. He is a descent player and he could get a nice little long term deal. Maybe with The Cowboys if he does good. This may have ruined his career. Let’s see how MM handles this. Likely quiet and in house. But could make a example of him.

 

[Hayseed]

No doubt that drunk driving is wrong. But at the end of the day he is still just a young guy and young guys make mistakes. I know that if I got the boot for every wrong thing I ever did when I was a kid I wouldnt have a rear end left TO BOOT. I strongly suspect much the same can be said for just about all of us here. I think we should all remember what we were when we too were young and try to not judge too harshly.

 

[Buzzbait]

Got the bye week started quickly I see

....and extended.

 

[Mannix]

I thought drunk driving was legal in Texas........

Drinking while driving used to be up until about 1990.
