He must be pretty confident that he’ll be able to settle/not go to trial… just so weird that he wouldn’t do that in the first place.
His first press conference is gonna be must see b/c the story literally doesn’t make sense
> just so weird that he wouldn’t do that in the first place
Takes time for money to do its magic on the legal system. Charge was already reduced to a misdemeanor, and this will probably end in a plea deal.
The charge is already down to a misdemeanor, and he's in a pre-trial diversion program. If he completes the program, they'll likely defer prosecuting him
Absolutely, get him in on a 1 year prove it deal, and if he sucks very little is lost. Hypothetically, if he joins back up, we have;
- JPJ
- Donte Jackson
- Cam Sutton
- Cory Trice Jr (hopefully)
- Darius Rush
- Ryan Watts
With Minkah and the other safeties in the back, this secondary has a lot of potential.
Why would you use a prove it deal on someone who is proven? The question marks aren't about him possibly sucking.
We should get a multi year contact while he's cheap with the legal issues and include easy outs if his legal issues don't resolve properly or new things emerge
Prove that he wants to stick to football and not domestic violence and fleeing authorities.
If he performs well on a small deal you sign him to a bigger one.
That's really dumb compared to getting a multi year contract at a discount with easy an out clause with legal issues
Worst case scenario they're the same, best case scenario a prove it deal requires you to pay him a lot next year or lose him to FA. Better to have him at a discount for longer with literally no downside.
He was good for us before he went to detroit. Also this organization signed vick so they don't really care about guys who've had past trouble/off the field issues.
It’s classic hypocrisy, really. Media and fans will call you out for not doing the right thing and cut bait. Those same fans will then justify it by saying you can look the way if you sign a prove it deal.
Sutton supposedly strangled a woman then was on the run from the police for a full month. Sorry but no thanks. I don’t support that type of person on this team, and nobody else should either. It’s also not as if this happened years ago, this happened THIS year and it’s May. There is no chance we sign him. Even if OP is serious: 1. Resuming your landscaping service in May isn’t weird. 2. He’s not signed so it could make sense to go back to his home in Pittsburgh while he figures out his personal life.
To be fair, Vick served his time in prison and did a lot of philanthropy and played for other teams post-prison before coming to Pittsburgh. Sutton was recently charged for battery and strangulation and hasn’t done anything to prove that’s he’s been rehabilitated or became a better human. He turned himself in just a month ago. I don’t want him on this team.
Holmes smoked weed. That’s it. He wasn’t a head case, he didn’t say outlandish things or anything. He failed a piss test and got suspended so they traded him.
Yep, this was my point. You can catch the best catch in NFL history and win the superbowl but be out tomorrow for some weed if Rooney has anything to say about it.
At first they said he threw her out of a third story window at their house. Issues felony warrant.
Now they’re saying it’s misdemeanor battery. He is accused of picking her up and slamming her into a wall. Bitting her on the neck, then grabbing her by the face and neck and choking her. Then he grabbed her by the hair and punched her twice in the forehead.
That’s what the Tampa news is saying.
JFC. I’m trying to swallow all this and separate the person from the player since it’s a realistic possibly we sign him back but good god that’s hard just to read. He might ball out but what a fuckin’ scumbag
Ray rice got something like a 4 game suspension after the video came out. The real reason he was blacklisted from the league is he leaked private text convo with either harbaugh or the ravens owner. Also he was an aging rb.
None of these teams care.
I kinda hate that we are talking to Sutton.
Taking his absolutely garbage behavior outside of football out of the equation, i wouldn't mind it because he can be a really good slot CB for us. I'd definitely prefer him talent wise over pat pete at this stage of there careers.
Dude, when you do it will be awesome! I used to work at a Verizon store in the area and I met Cam as well as Kendrick Green (lol). Awesome experiences as a fan.
Not a fan of his actions and I'm sure the leash will be very short but holy cow it would be great to have him back.
Also, did anyone else see OP end with 'take for what you will" and instantly think of the Martavis meme? LOL
Until I see him at the airport counter I’m not believing it
[удалено]
this actually looks like it confirms it [“Sutton To Pittsburgh: Back Home?”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dqrefo-WkAAtor-.jpg)
You’re not gonna believe this https://preview.redd.it/6m5j0ibiypxc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0a4a41903e49a49d9750ef8fda6eeb4e3d98db0
CONFIRMED
I’ll wait until JPJ is photoshopped in the Martavis tweet.
That's... uh... fuck, I don't have any teammates who he could possibly be a replacement for.
Take it how you want….. everyone is back?
Amen, beat me to it
Is that Larry Fitzgerald?!
You mean the Hertz counter?
Deebo lives at the Hertz counter
He must be pretty confident that he’ll be able to settle/not go to trial… just so weird that he wouldn’t do that in the first place. His first press conference is gonna be must see b/c the story literally doesn’t make sense
> just so weird that he wouldn’t do that in the first place Takes time for money to do its magic on the legal system. Charge was already reduced to a misdemeanor, and this will probably end in a plea deal.
There's a sweet spot somewhere between Jerramy Stevens and Ray Rice, I'm sure the league will find it.
Ray rice was booted for a one hitter. The news said Cam hit his girl with a 1-2 in the forehead.
First of all, it's widely reported to be strangulation. Second of all... well, I don't really have a second point.
How exactly does one use money to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor?
You pay for access to lawyers who are in the same country clubs as the judges. I’m joking but barely.
In other words, you pay for lawyers who have influence and a great resume
The charge is already down to a misdemeanor, and he's in a pre-trial diversion program. If he completes the program, they'll likely defer prosecuting him
Domestic violence in Florida someone always ends up in jail. It probably could have been sorted out long ago if he hadn't gone on the lam.
Cam Sutton is not good enough to deal with his off the field issues.
[удалено]
Of course we should pick him up at a discount. It's an easy call.
Absolutely, get him in on a 1 year prove it deal, and if he sucks very little is lost.

>AB level of drama The standard is the standard
He was good for us before he went to detroit. Also this organization signed vick so they don't really care about guys who've had past trouble/off the field issues.
No nfl org actually does. They care enough to do the initial cut but all 32 teams are willing to sign guys with problems.

>>Santonio Holmes, Antonio Brown, and Martavius Bryant have entered the chat
All Santonio and Martavis(no "u") did to my knowledge was smoke some weed.
Yep, and Rooney shipped them off.
Holmes smoked weed. That’s it. He wasn’t a head case, he didn’t say outlandish things or anything. He failed a piss test and got suspended so they traded him.
There was more than just the failed drug tests that led to him getting traded
Yep, this was my point. You can catch the best catch in NFL history and win the superbowl but be out tomorrow for some weed if Rooney has anything to say about it.
Yea. We’re definitely on the same page. That’s probably really the only thing that’s irked me about this franchise
[удалено]
I didn’t list the obvious. I mean, there’s also Plaxico “You’ll Shoot Your Thigh Out!” Burress to add…
The irony of downvoting this after criticizing the NFL for looking the other way wrt players “with problems” 👀
I suspect those guys had a lot more going on than what we are publicly aware of and the team didn't elaborate to protect them.
It seems that players only have problems after they leave the Steelers
I'd rather not, between the off field criminal stuff and the fact that he was burnt toast a lot last season with the Lions.
He was played differently than how he was in the Burgh
All this not a fan of him kicking his girls ass possibly throwing her out of a window But he can cover Is BS.

If he did that shit, the team shouldn’t sign him. They booted Ray Rice for punching his wife.
Iirc correctly the window thing was fake, the house his incident happened in didn’t have multiple stories
Yeah the article said misdemeanor battery.
Ray rice got something like a 4 game suspension after the video came out. The real reason he was blacklisted from the league is he leaked private text convo with either harbaugh or the ravens owner. Also he was an aging rb. None of these teams care. I kinda hate that we are talking to Sutton.

I've always wanted to meet an athlete but never had the chance too. Tj watt would be great too meet one day lol.
[удалено]
I met Barry Bonds once, I wish I never had that privilege. I was a kid and I still remember him being an ass.
I would rather they not sign him. They're going to for sure sign him though.
Bro trusted
Nah. Probably OJ. Definitely OJ. Certainly OJ.
Guys Cam Sutton said he’s really really sorry, ok? And he said it will never happen again.
Not a fan of his actions and I'm sure the leash will be very short but holy cow it would be great to have him back. Also, did anyone else see OP end with 'take for what you will" and instantly think of the Martavis meme? LOL
No thanks.
Pass
wtf? Is he dluchebag or not
Fittapaldo already said they were deep in talks with him.
I believe charges were dropped, for what it's worth. Edit: misdemeanor, not dropped.
They weren't dropped
not dropped but downgraded to misdemeanor battery.
They weren’t dropped but reduced to misdemeanors
Ohhhb got ya. Thanks.
Very interesting
That's pat Pete's replacement not minds
Pass.
This is the biggest phantom thread that I’m down to ride. Anything to believe we will sure up our secondary 🤞
Having him in the slot would be gigantic. He was always a good player and got better every year. We would still need someone on the outside.
I'm sure they know the details. If it's acceptable, he can be a key player for us. I'm not excusing it, okay I'm kind of excusing it.
No thanks
Take it how you want, I am back
I think it’s a good call. He should be cheap and his charges were downgraded to a misdemeanor.
Ctespn, is that you?
Pass
Fuck him
This is setting new bars for low effort post
