my league is .50 per catch. I'm not sold on Percy this year, the offense is much different than the Vikings.. Their are too many runners on Seattle to being with.. I still think he will be a top 12 WR this year but I wouldn't bite on him early

At the very least he is done as a Pat.

And if he's not convicted or pleads out, you really think none of the other 31 teams are going to want a talented TE?

First Mini Story on the Hernandez Situation

Aaron Hernandez was taken out of his house in handcuffs Wednesday morning.

At roughly 8:45 a.m. ET, authorities knocked on Hernandez's door. He answered without a shirt on and looked surprised when told he was being taken into custody. Hernandez was placed in handcuffs and led to a police vehicle. As of now, we don't know exactly what the charge is. Reports from last week stated an arrest warrant had been issued for obstruction of justice. Hernandez allegedly destroyed his cell phone and home security system in the hours following the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. Surveillance video showed Hernandez and Lloyd together hours before the murder.

That makes me believe even more that this isn't the obstruction charge.

It's interesting that Hernandez would be taken away without warning in handcuffs. Usually with a high-profile person who isn't a flight risk the police will arrange for the person to turn themselves in. There's been some speculation that Hernandez's failure to cooperate angered police and the district attorney and that's why they publicly arrested him.

I'm not saying other teams wont want a talented TE, but here's the situation there is no doubt in my mind hes done for the year at this point. Goddell is at some point most likely going to institute a 1 year ban on him not including any jail time similar to the Michael Vick thing. Vick was out for what 3 years hes not the same player he was and never will be again. Vick had that 1 good year and just sucked after that. Now keep in mind I do attribute some of last years suckage to Reed.

I honestly think he's just average. he wasn't that big of a deal in College.. Brady made him a stud, he still has many flaws and if he plays in the NFL again, it will be interesting to see what he does if he's not playing with a QB of Brady's level (P.Manning, Brees, Rodgers)

Oh you know they were pissed at him about breaking the cell phone and the security cameras.

Not to mention the cleaning crew

Hernandez isn't the only NFL player in trouble, although it's unlikely this player would have ever actually played in an NFL game:

A former Hackensack High School football star who was signed by the Cleveland Browns last month was arrested Tuesday and charged with attempted murder for allegedly punching a man outside a bar in Passaic, authorities said.

Ausar Walcott, 23, punched the man in the head outside The Palace Gentlemen’s Club on Main Avenue around 3 a.m. Sunday, said Detective Andrew White of the Passaic police.

Friends of the victim, Derrick Jones, 24, who lives in New York City, took him by car to the Harlem Hospital Center in Manhattan shortly after the assault, White said. He remained hospitalized in critical condition on Tuesday, White said.

Walcott, who told police he has been living with a friend in Maywood, was charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault and third degree endangering an injured victim, White said. He was arrested Tuesday morning after he turned himself in to police, and his bail was set at $500,000 cash, White said. He was scheduled to be sent to the Passaic County Jail in Paterson on Tuesday evening.

Totally agree with you problem is where there is smoke there is fire, Broken Cell, Security System, and cleaning crew all on the same day... to me to much smoke. Honestly I hope he didn't do it and just does not want to be a rat. I can respect not ratting but at the same point if you didn't do it and your "friends" are forcing you to throw away your career by covering it up they are not your friends. Hes in a very bad situation.

The cleaning company wouldn't be suspicious if it was a regularly-scheduled cleaning, but they were hired the day after the murder, were told they needed to be there that day, and went way above a normal cleaning by scrubbing down the house.

Question now is did the cleaning crew knowingly wash away evidence. Presumably there would have been a lot of blood, the much blood would raise suspicion even for a normal person to ask what happened.
