Umm, duh?
Yeah, he's guilty. As soon as his codefendants started turning on him, I made up my mind.
I agree with the black eye, but I think that the potential reward might be worth the risk for some teams. The NFL will most likely suspend him for the season (maybe longer) and the Falcons will try to break his contract and get as much of the upfront money back as possible. I sincerely doubt that even the Raiders would touch him when he's eligible again. He needs time and distance from this moment to repair his image. Like I said, if he becomes the poster boy for the anti-cruelty forces, then its possible he'll get back in the game at the NFL level at some point. That's not going to happen this year or even next year, though.
For those of you in keeper leagues, this is your chance to drop Mr. Mexico.
