He entered a pre trial intervention program, that once completed will result in all charges being dropped

Which is crazy given what he did

I agree.

Given his behavior, he should not have been eligible for this ‘slap-on-the-wrist’ program.

League has falsely softened up on suspensions and I wonder is he gonna get the typical less charge when he appeals to like 2 or 4 games?

Considering the Seahawks just signed a guy who had eight felony counts for kidnapping and armed robbery hanging over his head, it’s no surprise teams overlook this stuff

Their HC

I referenced the folks that had been in his corner throughout the whole process as well, and we respect those people and we’re not going to ignore those folks that we really respect and have a strong opinion about it as well,” Macdonald said. “So kind of when you put all those things together, we felt like it was a good opportunity for the team.”

Arnold’s people investigated him and determined he did nothing wrong

“People in his corner” almost certainly consists of his attorney, his agent, his momma and *maybe* a player on the Seahawks who knows him and said he always seemed like a good dude.

And we have guys who are reviled for podcasts, nicknames and body language

This is about as bad as it gets for an NFL team.

Atlanta had an issue with their pass-rush and they went all out in the 2025 draft.

They had two #1 picks and they used both on DEs.

Both players had good rookie seasons. Jalon Walker had 5.5 sacks and James Pearce had 10.5 sacks.

Falcon fans had to be excited about the upcoming season.

The news about Pearce's suspension came days after Jalon Walker tore his MCL.

One year after turning a weakness into a strength, their pass rush is back in the trashcan.

A team can do all the right things but still suffer the consequences of injuries and bad decisions.
