FFS. It honestly does feel like a curse.

The deal isn't signed yet so perhaps that cloud was already factored in to the timing of the signing.

According to NFL transactions, the Aldon Smith paper work was turned in on 4/15/2021. Link >>> [urltargetblank]https://www.nfl.com/transactions/league/signings/2021/4[/urltargetblank]

2 days? Only 2 days after signing? Did he get cold feet or feel so untouchable at that moment?

This is what I feared though I thought it would happen during the season.
I guess we can go back to calling him Alldumb Smith again.

Thanks Jville.

I will wait and see before commenting any further on this matter, save that he should be assumed to be innocent until proven guilty.

We always knew it was a risk. He wouldn't have been affordable otherwise.

Pass rush still looks good without him, although I'd like another addition to replace his role in the rotation.

Just for the heck of it, maybe we should wait until we know what happened?

Then, just for the sake of argument, we can figure out whether it still makes sense to keep him.

As others pointed out earlier, we have had plenty of players accused of crimes here or even guilty of them, that flourished as players here.

Finally, being accused of a crime in a state with some of the most corrupt police forces in the country should give you more benefit of the doubt than almost anywhere else.

It might make sense for more verifiable information to come forward before we start piling on.

When they signed him I wasn't super jazzed about his off the field issues over the years. But I hoped he either had gotten it together or at least was just holding it together long enough.

From a criminal standpoint you have to let the authorities deal with this but at a minimum he's probably mixed up with some bad people, although I'd put the most likely probabilities where he's less innocent.

At least this is happening now instead of during the season.

Has our office never heard the term " due diligence"? Surely we have some kind of clause written into our contracts that would invalidate his for committing a felony assault off of the field? Perhaps an insurance policy that pays the team in the event of non performance related to stupidity?

There's a supposed video, so I guess our hail mary is this is mistaken identity.

But it sure seems like the police did their due diligence so far in identifying Smith.

No way they'd give Smith any guaranteed money. He'll be cut with zero dead money if he's guilty.

Then they can put that money towards Antonio Brown :irishdrinkers:

You did notice that said incident happened AFTER he was signed right?

How can one do due diligence on an event that hasnt even happened yet?

Is Aaron Donald's attorney available? Hopefully this turns out to be another case of mistaken identity but not looking good thus far.

There seems to be a betting pool out there on who can have the shortest career as a Seahawk. 2 days has to be some sort of a record.

He'd been straight for going on 3 years. It's not like they built their offseason around him.

I think it was an acceptable risk, and he (pending verification of his involvement) disappointed. Oh well, still signed two other quality rushers. His loss.

A lot of people here expect every risk to pay off, but they don't. Still good process to take shots every now and again.
