Eagles' Josh Sills Indicted On Rape, Kidnapping Charges from 2019 Incident

[G2]

He does look kinda rapey.

 

[Cowpolk]

But they knew about it.

Zeke will get an 8 game suspension because of this

 

[Carson]

Howie Roseman will probably trade him for a 3rd before he goes to prison.

Seriously? Come on

Howie doesn’t negotiate anything less than a 2nd!!!! Don’t waste his time

They had him on the roster and thsi happened years ago. They knew and kept him around.

An accusation versus an indictment are two completely different circumstances and he wasn’t indicted until recently. If he is found guilty throw him in jail for the maximum amount of time. At the same time you can’t automatically assume the guy is guilty. Like I stated earlier I believe the Eagles cut him loose today now that they know there is sufficient evidence to file an indictment.

I’m sure we will be cut with this news, but he only played a few snaps this year in one game.

Never heard of this allegation…scumbag if true

He's not even your guys Matt Farniok

Good thing the Cowboys are the only team that drafts criminals. At least that is what the media portrays us as.

i think the Raiders are competing for first

It seems like our own fans portray us that way more than the media does.

Does this mean he won't be playing in the Super Bowl?

He was never going to without a few injuries. He is a rookie UDFA

 

[LatinMind]

Ew

 

[FVSTONE]

Hopefully he get's locked up in time to appear in the third installment of the LONGEST YARD 3.0!

I was joking. But, yeah..

Appears the incident happened in 2019 while Sills was at West Virginia.
He transferred to Oklahoma State the following year and made 1st team Big 12 his junior and senior seasons.
But Sills went undrafted last spring...that suggests NFL teams had done their intel on him and knew the allegation was out there and was ongoing.
Yeah, the Eagles took a an UDFA flyer on him - thinking the investigation would not end up in an indictment - but they hedged their bets ....Sills being inactive for all but one regular season game, and did not play in the two postseason games.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Rape and kidnapping from 2019? Wow, pretty odd such a serious pair of offenses would take so long to be reported.

Sometimes, cases can take a while with the investigations. Sounds like a conclusion was reached after the investigation.

 

[mattjames2010]

Oh.

 

[Cmac]

No means no.....there goes his Super Bowl.

 

[Blue&Silver]

Sounds serious. Why did it take almost 4 years to indict him?

 

[America's Cowboy]

MP will probably tweet he supports him.

Are you old enough to remember the Duke LaCross team? You should slow your roll.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Knowing Roseman, he’ll trade him for a 1st and a 2nd.
