[Teague31]

Curious how the national media runs this story.

Not like they would if we had signed him

Be interesting with the MeToo movement still fresh and the team being in DC, but yea not expecting Zeke level coverage.

Yea, DV isn't the same as sexual assault but equally ****ed up.

Scumbag team claims scumbag player. I hope some of the leaders on that team make their displeasure known.

 

[eastsideboy]

This should be interesting

 

[StarBoyz83]

Will he even play?

 

[cowboyec]

[Mr_437]

Standard Commander dumpster dive

It's Going to be a PR disaster

Arrested twice for domestic violence. (One was later dropped after girlfriend changed story) Also arrested on weapons charge earlier this year. He certainly deserves his day in court but how many chances does a guy get?

The NFL is an absolute joke regarding its response to domestic violence.

Reuben Foster - LB - Commanders
In a statement announcing the team's claim of LB Reuben Foster, Commanders executive Doug Williams said Foster will not play until the legal process has played out in his domestic violence case.

"The Commanders fully understand the severity of the recent allegations made against Reuben," the statement claimed. "If true, you can be sure these allegations are nothing our organization would ever condone. ... Reuben will have to go through numerous steps including the full legal process, an investigation and potential discipline from the NFL, as well as meetings with counselors associated with the team before he will ever have the opportunity to wear the Burgundy and Gold." The statement then went on to say Foster has support from his former college teammates. The Commanders are too often everything an NFL franchise should not be.

They let him out to play on weekends

That's for dam sure

 

[eastsideboy]

I said back then that I would not draft him in the 1st.

Dude had more red flags than anyone I've seen

 

[eastsideboy]

We should have claimed him and cut Vander Esch.

Then design Rolando mcClain

Depends on the team, and the media reaction. The NFL doesn't give a rats azz about DV, just the almighty dollar and keeping the NE media is critical to that flow of cash.

Reminds me of the Cowboys signing Greg Hardy.

I believe the victim this time is the same girlfriend that dropped her story before. He should be suspended for at least 6 games maybe more. If not than Gooddell has no you know what.

I was also uncertain about his ability to learn an NFL defensive scheme, especially the coverage aspects of it.

We saw with Bruce Carter that elite physical ability is not enough if the mental ability is not up to par.

Where is the moral compass of Joe Gibbs? This team went to **** after he left.
