AB owners. You holding him or trying to deal him?

NFL can and will still suspend him

That's a good way to get a terrible return. Yeah sure, field offers but you'll likely be low-balled.

Didn't Kobe actually rape someone though? This is just some dumb greedy bitch tryna make a few dollars while AB is the NFL Boogeyman.

Zeke was accused of rape just last season, did he get fined/suspended/miss any time?

I think the NFL is taking a more serious approach to these gold digging whores and their attempts to extort star players.

Which is the honorable thing to do.

Holding. He won't be suspended this year. Though he's still a risk to frick up in some other way cause he's a head case. But cashing out you won't get near the upside, and you're probably just settling for mediocrity. So I'd rather swing for the fences and hold a possible real difference maker.

The NFL continues to send signals that the newest Patriots receiver could land quickly on the Commissioner-Exempt list. Some interpret the language of the Personal Conduct Policy to mean that, in the absence of criminal charges, Brown can’t be placed on paid leave until the league fully investigates the allegations made against him in a civil suit.

Here’s the language of the policy that allows the Commissioner to utilize paid leave absent a criminal prosecution: “[W]hen an investigation leads the Commissioner to believe that a player may have violated this Policy by committing [sexual assault or rape], he may act where the circumstances and evidence warrant doing so. This decision will not reflect a finding of guilt or innocence and will not be guided by the same legal standards and considerations that would apply in a criminal trial.”

Nothing in the policy requires the investigation to be completed. Indeed, nothing in the policy requires the investigation to reach any specific point. There simply must be “an investigation” that “leads the Commissioner to believe” that Brown “may have violated” the policy by engaging in the conduct of which he stands accused, with the key considerations being the “circumstances and evidence.”

tl;dr - it's up to Goodell.

But if you're this far with him, you might as well wait and see. You shouldn't be able to get much for him at this stage (crazy/idiot trade partners notwithstanding).
