https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-49ers-lb-reuben-foster-arrested-domestic-violence-charge-florida-055246892.htmlSan Francisco linebacker Reuben Foster was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence battery on Saturday night at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay in Florida ahead of the 49ers game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Foster was arrested around 9 p.m. on Saturday night, and booked at the Hillsborough County jail around 11 p.m., according to the report. No bond has yet been posted. An ambulance was also seen at the hotel earlier in the evening.
Team officials did not comment to the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday night about the incident.
This incident marks the latest for Foster over the past year. He served a two-game suspension to start the season for violating the NFL’s conduct and substance abuse policy after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor gun charge. Charges were dropped from a marijuana arrest during the offseason.
Foster was accused of serious domestic violence allegations from his former girlfriend this summer, though those charges were dropped after she recanted her initial statement, claiming she made up the story for money. The alleged victim initially told police Foster “dragged her by the hair, physically removed her from their house, and punched her in her head at least eight times.”
Foster has recorded 29 total tackles so far this season over six games. He has battled both a shoulder and a hamstring injury this season, and was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
Or you wait until the facts play out and sign him to your team if he beats the charges. Hmm... maybe "beats the charges" is the wrong way to say this...Washington Post already roasting the Redskins for picking this guy up:

I understand this guy is probably a complete jack***, but that’s different than an actual determination he’s abusive towards women. So I honestly don’t get NFL teams and the media preconvicting him in the case. Do they have better investigative units than a district attorney? You let the facts play out in court and then make a determination.
I think it is too soon to see how it will shake out. There is Bostic, Hamilton, Harvey-Clemons, and Holcomb all vying for snapsShaun Dion Hamilton? Worth picking up?

I guess it depends on the roster space. If you have a free spot and want to throw your dart, pick one. If you have to drop a player you like, wait until there's some info on starting lineup / 3DLB.LBH said:Shaun Dion Hamilton? Worth picking up?
Short-term it's probably SDH but Holcomb is a better dynasty hold IMO and has the talent to really take advantage of the opportunity.JoeSteeler said:I think it is too soon to see how it will shake out. There is Bostic, Hamilton, Harvey-Clemons, and Holcomb all vying for snaps
This news could very well speed up Holcomb's chances of seeing the field...https://nfltraderumors.co/redskins-releasing-lb-mason-foster/Short-term it's probably SDH but Holcomb is a better dynasty hold IMO and has the talent to really take advantage of the opportunity.
It's a mystery why Holcomb was drafted so late - he has everything you want in a LB and to me looks like the clear third best LB prospect in this class. Now he's fallen into a best case scenario situation for a day 3 pick and no one seems to be talking about him. He's the guy I'm most interested to track this off-season, on either side of the ball.
I'm all about this. Holcomb is the kind of guy who will impress if he gets a chance and that depth chart is very weak....This news could very well speed up Holcomb's chances of seeing the field...https://nfltraderumors.co/redskins-releasing-lb-mason-foster/
