what a waste. been injured for 2 years straight, now suspended. really earning that paycheck.

i wouldn't touch him for anything more than the league minimum. and that would be overpaying him. for all intents and purposes, he's still a rookie that has only managed to stay off the field.

Yeah, but didn't you guys see this comming?

If I remember right, wasn't he caught with Pot at the combine. I mean seriosly, how dumb can you be to smoke during during/before the combine.

Plus, didn't he have a kid when he was like 19 or something...

I think he is an alright talent, but a loser person aka Koren Robinson.
