I do agree with your point though. By all accounts, Aldon is a good locker room guy. But if he keeps getting in trouble he will hurt the team. We're relying on him to be on the field to help us win a championship. His antics jeopardize that.

OK. So do we cut him and still lose a championship or do we work with him for the chance to win one. I would rather have "potential access" to a HOF caliber player than to have to play with a team cancer. "I would rather suit up 10 men and just get penalized all the way than to play with 11 when I know that that 1 person is not sold out to the team."

Definitely work with him. No way should we cut him, that would be foolish and it's exactly what 31 other teams want us to do. Just let him play out his contract, maybe even franchise him when his deal expires. We need to buy some time to decide if it's worth extending him or not.

Franchise him? He's going to be our Franchise Player? I'm laying my money down on the other side of that.

Don't read too much into the term "franchise". It's just a designation to keep a player on a 1-year deal, fully guaranteed. He's good enough that he can live up to the money. Right now it's far more risky to sign him long-term, and far more foolish to cut him.

Kap's PR team is sending a fruit basket to Aldon.

Seriously, does TMZ have a lot of Seahawks' fans working there?

I have to admit, it is very disappointing. And the excuses being made for these guys are weak. Personal responsibility is under-valued around here. It's always their surroundings that are at fault. No, it's them. They put themselves in high risk situations.

Sad to say, but if I'm Jed York I'm trying to figure out how to monitor every player on the roster that the team can't afford to lose and hiring "mandatory assistants" to stay with them full time.

What else can you do when you can trust your elite players to make right decisions?

We still got Eric Reid though!

Thanks. I needed that.

This story is not exactly worthy of praise. I would expect nothing but criticism.

Do they take PEDs? Are they administered drug tests? Are they on antidepressants?

Acting dumb when he's on thin ice with the league is still an issue. I doubt it takes TMZ to convince the commish to take action. And Trent getting another call about Aldon probably has him punching the walls by now.
