News: DE Sam Williams arrested Sunday on controlled substance, weapons charges

[rambo2]

So now there's the recreational/controlled substances NFL charge and Goodell's personal conduct policy suspension as the most likely next hammer to fall.

My early over/under is 4 games.

jmo

I think that they won't give him much and might blow it off and let it drag in the court system. I belive that they want Dallas to win this year.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

they should have the arrest report. how can they not know what it was?

 

[CowboysFilmStudy]

Did he say that when Lawrence Taylor was eating a light bulb?

He should have

The way athletes are put on pedestals and paid outrageous sums of money they need to be held to a higher standard; right or wrong, they are looked upon as role models and influencers to a younger generation.
Another player with known character issues picked well before he probably should due to those issues that comes back to bite Jerry…will the organization ever learn?

Exactly what I was thinking............ 4-6 games most likely.

The only real question as this point is when does it come?

 

[Starforever]

Why are NFL players so dumb?

I read and listen to the news; it happens with teachers, lawyers, parents, preachers, military, etc. NFL players are people just like you and I.

Does this only pertain to athletes

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Wow, THC is illegal in Texas?

It's not even illegal here in Alabama. Heck, my doctor told me to take it for my TMJ disorder.

How far are you from Hoover?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

One of the most classic one-liners in television sitcom history!!!!

Agree

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

LOL

 

[GINeric]

I didn't hear much about the specific details and am just starting to read about it now.. What do you mean he didn't commit any crimes? He was arrested

I meant he didn't do anything seriously illegal. Having a gun and a personal stash of weed isn't a serious crime or a character issue.

It's against the law to litter, but who on this board never tossed a paper cup, bottle or a burger wrapper out of the car window before??? I guess we all have character issues according to many here then.

Yet Cowboys fans everywhere were calling the Sam Williams pick a steal. Don't recall anyone complaining about the pick at the time.

 

[Sheepherder]

Thats why I'm laughing at the idiots of the world that call that "character issues". This man didn't commit any crimes or hurt anyone.

It's sad that he has to reside in Texas for many reasons which I'll leave alone at this time.

Did he show bad judgment?? Yes he did. But is this considered a character issue??? Nah. You have athletes who don't smoke weed or carry guns and make tons of bad judgments and mistakes.

Hopefully he'll learn from this and make better judgments moving forward.

At least he wasn't like those thug criminals like Giants former kicker Josh Brown who beat the **** out of his wife on a regular basis, or like that greedy low life thief named Brett Favre who stole from poor and less fortunate people for his own gain. Now THOSE are character issues!!

Lol, for them to cut him, he would have to do a lot more than this.

I may be over reacting to this but Jerry takes too many risks with these 2nd round picks and lots of them get in trouble and end up not reaching their potential or get cut. It seems like a waste.

Edit Marijuana and a weapon .... lol goodness.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams was arrested by Frisco police Sunday night on charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon, per a police department spokesperson.
The controlled substance charge, for alleged possession of marijuana, is a low-level state felony and the unlawful carrying of a weapon is a misdemeanor, according to Frisco police. Williams, 24, played in the Cowboys’ 22-14 loss in Seattle on Saturday. He returned with the team early Sunday morning.

The Cowboys declined to comment through a spokesman. The team is aware of the arrest.

Wow...I am not reading this whole thread, but I have written some good music after some devils weed...but I have not written a tune about guns. I might think about that.

 

[GINeric]

Idiot.

It's amazing to me that these guys, once they get a NFL paycheck, act like they can get away with anything and do dumb ****.

At least once an offseason we have a bonehead.

Maybe they are inspired by higher official people they've seen on the news the last couple of years committing serious crimes and somehow getting away with it.

They're learning best from the idiots in suits.

I don't want to make too much of this, but c'mon man it's definitely a character issue to be driving while under the influence.

Well said. Thank you

 

[bayeslife]

It's a dumb thing for him to do but not even remotely suspension worthy

 

[Denim Chicken]

they should have the arrest report. how can they not know what it was?

It's THC concentrate

 

[Daillest88]

There we go lmao.
