It really isn't a bad situation considering he went to a very good team that doesn't suck, he was able to pick where ever he wanted to go and he'll make good money. He can also get a new deal a year earlier. Phil Savage broke it down pretty well this morning and if he get's the max amount he can get for 3 years under the current structure, he will earn about roughly half what a first or second rounder would get over four years. That's a fair amount of money but he won't have to worry about making the team like a lot of UDFA's will and that money lost will be all but forgotten about in 3 years.

OLine guys can play a long time. If he plays well for 3 years, is a good teammate, and isn't mentioned in any more murder cases, he can get a big contract in 3 years.

If he's innocent, it is a very bad situation. He missed out on a huge guaranteed signing bonus. He could get hurt next year, and be out of the league. Although its nice to pick your team, I'm 100% sure these guys prefer any team for the money.
