Not sure what your angle is.

Johnny would be going up against the State of Texas not her family.

Maybe you are thinking of civil action?

Zombo

Let's see, who is it filing the charges and who was it that made the claim? After speaking to her attorney?

And unless there's a conviction there's no jackpot. You figure out the angle.

Well, if there is video of him hitting her, and medical records of injury, it doesn't matter what the angle is/was.

He'll be guilty, he'll get convicted and the NFL will come down hard on him. If he's still in the league.

Yes that's true. So I guess we wait on that video. If he committed the crime he should get the same punishment any average guy should get. But... Unlike you if he gets charged and suspended I hope it's before we have to pay him.

If he's suspended, I don't think we get to wash our hands clean. His contract is suspended, and picks up after his suspension. That's what happened with Josh Gordon.

We would still be on the hook for the rest of Johnny's contract, we just wouldn't be obligated to pay him while he's suspended.

That's my assumption.

Zombo

--If we cut him, the cap hit should be the same, whether he is is suspended or not.

Westside Steve

I would have guessed that suspension means we could void the contract for non-fulfillment.

We made the decision not to release Gordon. Hey maybe this will be good. Johnny can go to serious rehab turn his life around and start for us in 2017!

Johnny Fingers Farmer

If what she claims is true JM will be charged with aggravated domestic assault most likely. It's a 2nd degree felony in Texas with a 2 to 20 year prison sentence.

miktoxic

and even if he's not she can still go after him in civil court alleging whatever to line her pockets. mental and physical abuse. pain and suffering. boo fucking hoo.

OJ was found not guilty of murdering ron goldman and nicole brown but their families still won a wrongful death suit..............which they'll never see a dime of.

Tour2ma

If indicted, odds are he goes on that Commissioners Special list as did AP for the old swtcheroo.

No idea if the rules over that thing have ever been settled.

Axe

After the Ray Rice thing, if there is video it would suck to be Johnny wife beater.

Another one of those miscreant A&M NFL players getting courtside mugshots.

Yes, but with a few caveats

Maybe the Longest Yard III with orange jumpsuits for unis?

IF...............he clears this latest legal fiasco and IF...............he goes back through rehab............then I think he has a chance to be picked up by a team with an aging QB that can wait for him to mature into a real NFL QB. That is not Cleveland and really never was.

Done with him as a Brown, but rooting for him as a man.

He retweeted Charlie Sheens' advice to him yesterday, so I guess that is a step in the right direction ... ???

Depends what Charlie Sheen's advice was I guess - did it have something to do with tiger blood and HIV?
