PLAYER NOTES LOG:
Apr 15 2005 - LB Tommy Hendricks isn't happy about the way he was released by the Jaguars. He was cut shortly after he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge for violating a restraining order taken out by his estranged wife and he has been advised not to discuss the situation by his agent and his lawyer because of the pending litigation. Hendricks, though, feels it's time for him to tell his side and he said he plans to file a non-injury grievance against the Jaguars. "I'm my own man and I'm not going to let somebody throw my name in the mud. I have the right to talk about it and tell the truth. When you tell the truth, you don't have to worry. I don't have anything to hide. I don't have anything wrong with me. I'm not a liar, a troublemaker or a wife beater. I'm not any of those things. There's a lot of misinformation out there about me," he said. Hendricks, 26, who is in the process of divorcing his wife, Danielle, said he has never been violent towards her and didn't even know she had gotten a restraining order against him when he called her twice the day after she obtained the order because he wanted to see his children. Hendricks said his wife managed to get an arrest warrant issued against him in Clay County even though neither one of them lives there by using the address of a friend who does.
Mar 25 2005 - LB Tommy Hendricks was released after he was arrested the week before on a misdemeanor charge in adjourning Clay County for violating a restraining order taken out by his former wife. He was released on $1,500 bond after calling his ex-wife twice the day after the restraining order was issued in Broward County, where the couple formerly lived. A team spokesman said last week that Hendricks was dealing with unspecified medical issues. "Well, he's having some personal issues. And we think he needs to focus on those issues," coach Jack Del Rio said from Hawaii where he was attending the NFL owners meetings. Hendricks had played in 15 games with the Jaguars last year as a backup linebacker and special teams player. He led the team in special teams tackles with 16.
Mar 22 2005 - LB Tommy Hendricks was cut by Jacksonville.
Mar 18 2005 - LB Tommy Hendricks was arrested on a misdemeanor charge in neighboring Clay County for violating a restraining order taken out by his former wife. Hendricks was charged after calling his ex-wife twice the day after the restraining order was issued in Broward County, where the couple formerly lived. Jaguars spokesman Dan Edwards said Hendricks, 26, is being treated for an unspecified medical condition and that the team does not plan to take any disciplinary action against Hendricks who is in his third year with the Jaguars. "Tommy is dealing with these issues, and we're hopeful these problems can be worked out," Edwards said. "Right now our concern is for his well-being."
Nov 18 2004 - LB Tommy Hendricks, who made his first start against Detroit, is likely to return to backup status because Daryl Smith is back practicing after sitting out the Detroit game with a sprained MCL.
Nov 11 2004 - LB Tommy Hendricks is likely to make his first start of the season against Detroit because Daryl Smith is doubtful with a sprained MCL. Hendricks signed with the team as a free agent from Miami and has been a force on special teams. Coach Jack Del Rio expects Hendricks to be able to step right in. "He's been a great addition to our special teams and he's here for this very reason to be a guy who can plug in and play well," Del Rio said. Hendricks said, "It's definitely exciting. I've got to step up. I'm watching as much film as I can to get comfortable in the defense."
Nov 10 2004 - LB Tommy Hendricks will start at outside linebacker if Daryl Smith can't go against Detroit.
