Welcome back, Mr. Hurd.

Now use your experiences to kick start a successful life.

That's strange. It says "Former NFL receiver" not "Former Cowboys receiver"

Hard to believe.

A decade in prison for attempting to buy cocaine as someone with no previous criminal record seems excessive but I always had a soft spot for Hurd. I'm sure he'll turn his life around. I remember he was a popular player in the locker room when he was in Dallas.

He didn’t go to jail for just buying cocaine. He was trying to build an entire empire of selling it The complaint alleged Hurd had negotiated to pay $25,000 per kilogram of cocaine, and another $450 per pound of marijuana.

That's not enough for an empire. That's enough for a party on Wallstreet or K Street.

10 years is a long time in the hoosegow.
He served his time. I hope he has a better life awaiting him

Is he seen in the Michael Irvin hotel video?

 

[SlammedZero]

Wish him the best. Hopefully he can take that lesson, coupled with his new opportunity of freedom, and do something great with it.

Incredible that two Cocaine Bears were released in one week!

I remember Hurd being a pretty high-level dealer, so I looked it up and found this article from Bleacher Report back in the day.

According to that, he was negotiating to buy $2 million of supply a month. Dude was straight-up running a $20M+ annual business.

Enough of your facts. He's a victim.

not Sam’s fault … his supplier ran the wrong drug route

Poster said it was "per pound", not "total". Nobody knows what his goal was, only what he was willing to pay per standard unit of trafficking measurement.
