My guess over time (I obviously have no idea and want justice served above all) is that he'll be acquitted of serious charges to the point where he'd be deemed employable by an NFL team.
Short of something like a commissioners exemption, I'm not sure how he'll be a Bill.
Are you ready for this topic to dominate evey press conference and interview and discussion with/about the Bills all year, and potentially beyond? It's a major, major distraction.
In a vacuum, a team would wait until the entire thing is litigated and a judgement is passed.
But we're not in a vacuum and cutting and resigning to the practice squad isn't going to ease the PR nightmare that much.
The "sign him to the practice squad" argument is maybe too academic. I don't think signing him to the practice squad will ameliorate the PR nightmare like some folks seem to suggest.
I have to imagine the reason he's not already cut is because the Bills realize they'll need to prepare more than a single statement to weather the questions.
Is the commissioner's exempt list an option here? I've heard it mentioned but I'm not aware of the stipulations.
Having him suit up and play seems tone deaf.
The thought of that guy maintaining respect over any length of time in an NFL locker room is laughable.
But who am I to say. Maybe he can change his entire communication style
