The problem is he needs to be extended. Everything will be OK then.

 

[The Quest for Six]

The better headline would be, Dallas Cowboys release Rico Gathers

It seems like just yesterday the coaches were such idiots for not betting the farm on him as Witten’s replacement.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Rico's pretty much done here. If his crappy on-field play and Witt returning didn't do him in, an arrest probably will.

Although in his defense, I will say that the offensive staff did him a disservice by trying to teach him how to block in any way, shape or form. You're starting with an 8th grade level player technique-wise, you're never going to make him into a well-rounded Y tight end. Just have him run downfield and grab the rebound from the safety.

Maybe Rico never had it as a receiver (his jump ball attempt vs Tennessee was pretty pitiful), but trying to bulk up a basketball player and make him a blocker just screams of Garrett taking a square peg and trying to put it into his system's round hole. Just like how we never threw to Zeke for two and a half seasons, just like how we parked a dominant press-man corner as a deep zone FS, just like how we made a great zone-blocking line switch to a power scheme they struggled in, just like how we kept running 3 TE sets with the worst starting 3 TEs in football. The coaches have a scheme in mind and they're going to execute it, talent on the field be damned.

Wow. Were those cops Canadian? It was like: "may I please arrest you sir." "How's your mama doing".

We don't have cops like that here.

 

[ShortRound]

So he was smoking pot on a park bench? In Frisco? Lol Jesus.

 

[rags747]

Not the brightest obviously, but I would ask why and who released the policeman’s bodycam footage. Is that a standard procedure to release that footage?

 

[NEODOG]

Whole thing is stupid

The arrest for {smoking weed} ... It's laughable

The knucklehead player knowing the laws & rules..... It's insanity

Shoulda went with no mas man. It was right there!

 

[ShiningStar]

man, we were about to unleash him on opposing defenses to carve up. Him and get Dunbar again, because fans swore he had mad skills. Watch out NFL, Cowboys going to da Super bowl. Than we add in tiny print... because they bought tickets.

 

[AbeBeta]

I really see no issue with this. The cop was professional and respectful, Rico was remorseful and not confrontational or inappropriate.

Dude got arrested for something that he'd get a ticket for in a more progressive county or not even cited for in a non-bassakward state

Unless a case is still under investigation, body cam footage is a public record.

 

[Doomsay]

Lost score of RKGs loss of playing time due to suspension.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers cut a deal in his weed possession case and won't face jail time ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 25-year-old was arrested back in August in Frisco, Texas just after Cowboys' training camp ... when cops say they found him with less than 2 ounces of weed.

Gathers was charged with possession of marijuana ... but on Thursday, he struck a deal with prosecutors and will avoid time behind bars for the incident.

Court officials tell us Gathers had his charge reduced from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class C misdemeanor in exchange for a guilty plea.

Rico's punishment? He has to keep his nose clean for the next 90 days ... and, if he does, the conviction will be wiped off his record.

Rico also had to pay fines and court costs.

He was arrested last August and played all year

He case was just adjudicated with no jail time

An arrest with marijuana usually carries a 1 game suspension

" El Norte Rio Grande Verde Reefers" of the future XFL could prove quite fearsome were they to sign all our suspended smoking players

Seems very unnecessary to arrest him.

Having said that if you're 6-7, 280 smoking weed in a park at night you're just putting a target on your back, especially in upper middle class suburbia like Frisco Texas.
