All charges dropped vs Lucky Whitehead, warrant rescinded, cops had wrong guy

[hornitosmonster]

Keystone cops up in the front office. Embarrassing for Jason and Jerry. They have to do something or they risk losing the locker room.

I had a feeling Lucky was telling the truth when he said he had no idea what was going on and called it all fake. I feel bad for him the way he was dumped. Part of it is that all teams are now so hyper-sensitive to any potential crime, that they over-react, but only with bottom-rung players. Not stars.

I really don't know why the Cowboys didn't wait a day or two to get all the facts. Cowboys look stupid now for doing what they did. I was surprised they cut him so quick.

He wasn't cut for being arrested. He was cut for not informing the team and causing the team even more embarassment after the dognapping or whatever.

He may or may not be brought back, but it wont be anytime soon.

I would not necessarily inform my boss that I was charged with shoplifting if I was absolutely innocent either - that's embarrasing!

I would start my lawsuit against that police department for even bringing a charge! Search warrant for the guys Commander Paraphernalia and off we go !!!!

Heck, I would sue to Dallas Cowboys for wrongful termination. There is some money to be made for sure

I thought I read his initial quotes that he had no idea there were charges against him, a looming court date he missed, etc. Not sure how he can inform the team of something he's not aware of. Just an all around odd situation.

lmao cops just grabbed the first black guy they saw. protect and serve u cowards.

Sure..... bring him back..... so you can cut him again....

This is going to be a bad look for our 'Boys, who immediately cut Lucky when news of the (false) accusation against him broke. You can be sure the media is going to let the Cowboys have it, particularly in light of their unflinching stance that Elliott is innocent of multiple far more sinister crimes.

I think that Stephen Jones said the team had had a lot of issues with Lucky, so it doesn't seem like they were happy with his behavior before this broke. Now, I doubt they would have cut him if this had not happened, but he was only a strike away from being made an example anyway.

They tried to do the right thing, but man they have a huge egg on their collective faces now.

I just watched Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe jump on this Kid this morning. I better see an apology from both of them.

I don't think you could win that one. The NFL fines and suspends without evidence....

NFL is a different beast. Youre better off informing the team of every transgression vs being blindsided.

I doubt he would ever win a wrongful termination suit.

It is not like the Cowboys have not protected themselves by stating it was a decision made on the totality of his issues, not just this one. They can easily point to the continued distractions, his unavailability during the offseason, his behavior last season.

Northern Va Commander fans! White guys don't have dreds very often

 

[Virginia-Dave]

The team finally makes the right decision, and it still turns out to be the wrong decision. I don't understand why they cut him so fast. I wasn't happy to see another player in the news for committing a crime, but the as the facts started coming out something seemed fishy about the story. He said he wasn't in VA when the crime happened, that would be very easy to confirm. Should have at least given him 24 hours for the truth to come out. Ugh. So ready for the season to start.

 

[erod]

The more I think about this.....LOL.

The Cowboys really look ridiculous on this.

 

[Alexander]

Very very true. Nobody should ever consider the NFL business to be "fair". If you expect that, you are probably a fan of the wrong sport.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Wow, I feel like a real jerk now for having been upset with him.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Whitehead will probably sign with the Giants or Commanders.
