They knew that he was a risk and they got a lot of capital for the draft pick. The Hernandez era is over but it did not cost the Patriots much and they have depth at the position. Time to move on.
Sorry for being a d*ck but when did we get rid of him/ he is not playing for us?
He's already given more than most 4th rounders so the pick yeah, but not the new contract (with a $7.5M cap hit next year).

I missed the guilty verdict and sentencing hearing. How many years did he get?
another 10 star legendary thread from fred.
These mediots that are trying to make it sound like the Patriots wasted a 4th round pick need to get a clue. This was a 4th round pick, not a 1st. I checked and in Hernandez's draft class, only 1 other 4th rounder besides Hernandez has been to the Pro-Bowl. Even if Hernandez never plays another down again, the career he has had already will made him probably in the top 3 of his draft class's 4th round.
Nobody is asking if the Cowboys wasted a pick by selecting the immortal Akwasi Owusu-Ansah. I'd rather have 3 years of Aaron Hernandez than 10 years of Trevard Lindley, Alterraun Verner or Eric Norwood (not to say any of those guys will be playing 10 years).

Absolutely, it was worth it. You couldn't possibly have predicted this kind of outcome, which is pretty unprecedented. Even among the NFL's worst of the worst, this is extremely rare. I mean maybe you could have predicted him being suspended for a banned substance, but for this? No way. Everyone who's second guessing is just doing it in hindsight.
