Dennard Jury has a verdict

[everlong]

Doing a quick google search and looking at some law forums it appears in most states it depends on the details of the case and the defendant's prior record. It can go down as a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony. If they go the felony route it's a year minimum so hopefully they don't go that route.

Would rather target youth if we go that route.

Maybe both. Draft a young safety to partner with either of the geezers.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

yeah...we need talib

 

[dannydyn]

I see him serving minimal time.... 30-60 days.... in time back for pre-season if not before that.

brady doesn't have many years left..we need to win now. Youth won't do that

See the links I posted above for Nebraska.

Is there a chance the Patriots would release him if he gets a significant amount of jail time?

he won't serve 6 years..hell he probably won't even serve 6 months.

How long will the NFL suspend him now after he does his time if he does any

Possible, absolutely.

Likely? Who knows.

I am sure he would fight the suspension because he wasn't in the league when the assault happened.

And getting aging players whose play is diminishing will? Solid point.

 

[Brady2Moss]

Sound the Talib siren time to shell out the big bucks or the franchise tag Bill we're on route to 2008 Deltha O'Neal territory right now if we have no Dennard or Talib.

Wow! I guess there were no football fans on that jury! Unbelievable!

Wow! I guess there were no football fans on that jury! Unbelievable!

Or maybe they actually managed to find some of the few JEST fans there.

 

[BrickPat]

It's important to remember that the sentencing judge routinely has career felons in his court room who don't get max sentences. Assuming Dennard has no record it's highly doubtful the judge will impose any type of significant jail time to a fully employed person who made a one time F-up and is otherwise a law abiding citizen.

 

[blackglass3]

Remember all the complaining we used to do about Ellis Hobbs? Things look alot worse now. Who are our starting CB's right now without Talib, Dennard, and Arrington? Marquis Cole and McCourty? Yikes.

This secondary as of right now (with alot of unknowns, obviously) might make us miss Duane Starks.

 

[Deus Irae]

I'm not sure how Nebraska's system works, but I don't expect Dennard to miss any time this upcoming season. It would seem more likely that either the sentence will be light or he'll appeal.

 

[Kontradiction]

I see him serving minimal time.... 30-60 days.... in time back for pre-season if not before that.

It depends on how foul a mood the judge is in...
