LB Daryl Washington suspended! (1 Viewer)

I expect a fight on this one. This wasn't drug related. This precident hasn't been set in the past and Irsay is still sitting out their raking in his money. Wouldn't even surprise me if this draws a lawsuit out of Washington. Will be interesting to see how the union reacts to this. I'm sure they will not be happy. I'm moving forward with the idea that Washington is suspended for the year but I can't see there not being an appeal.

 
I'm sure there will be an appeal as well. On the other hand I cannot see that he will end up with less than 8 games either. Question is whether they can mve through the appeals phase before the season

 
Deone Buchanon could be in the box a lot this year. He's a thumper, but also has ball skills (15 career INTs).

 
Arizona's defense is going to take a huge hit this year. Some players might have better stats but as a whole they are out of the top 10 for sure and probably not draftable.

 
Opportunity to buy low on Minter has officially closed.
He may even be in danger of being over-valued at some point.

I'm also intrigued by the potential bump to the AZ safeties.
Minter was supposed to take over for Dansby as an ILB, Washington is an OLB. Not saying this won't/shouldn't raise his value, I guess now it probably won't be much of a question of how many snaps he sees.

What do you put Minter's value at pre and post suspension?

They run a 3-4 and Washington was most definitely inside. You know I've been looking at Larry Foote and he quietly put up decent numbers when he had to start in Pitt 2 years ago.

Interesting. I'm wondering about Tyrann Mathieu in particular given his versatility. Not as a replacement per se but maybe more big-play oppty and definitely more snaps than last year.
Its about the only positive imo The Honey-Badger is coming into the yr. w some experience now. We already know he can perform at the Pro-Level. But I would be weary of any further injurys etc. ie. Mathieu can only play his best when he can count on the rest of the Defense.

p.s. I also like his thoughts on the subject: Prayers are the only thing my teammate needs right now, the negativity is truly a waste of time.. We all fall/fail at something. #PRAYERS

 
Over in the SP there is speculation regarding the new drug policy the NFL and NFLPA are reportedly negotiating, which may lead to the reinstatement of players currently on drug suspension such as Josh Gordon and Wes Welker. Washington's name came up as another candidate. However, given the pending domestic violence discipline which has yet to be determined, it seems unlikely that Daryl could take the field in 2014. Thoughts?

 
Yeah, this year's suspension will be decreased as it was for pot, but he still has the domestic violence issue that hasn't been adjudicated. Methinks he ends up suspended most if not all of the season, but that is speculation. Say he gets an 8 game suspension like Josh Gordon is rumored to be getting- top that with another suspension for the domestic violence and it is probably most of the NFL season, no? Totally a guess though, and the guy is a difference maker when he is playing- he'd be a snag in dynasty leagues.

Here's a link to an article on a blog site that (sort of) addresses the issue without actually addressing the issue (because his case is speculation at this point):
