Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Wow! Whatever really happened here at least EO appears to have handled it well. i wonder if the open container and this cause for field test was for packing a lipper. Edited July 22, 2020 by Over 29 years of fanhood
Greg S Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 So does this mean he will be playing week 1 against the Jets. 1

May Day 10 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 well that settles it.... well I guess it will be settled when the NFL awards the Patriots compensatory picks 1 1 13 2

I believe Goodell could technically still suspend him but I wouldn’t deem that likely as he was proven to not be breaking the law. Edited July 22, 2020 by FluffHead

Bulldog Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Good news! Wonder what really happened here? We will probably never know. Hope that Oliver leaves this "incident" behind and moves forward to concentrate on the upcoming season & making himself the best player he can be. Hopefully we'll be seeing Ed cause large amounts of mayhem in the Jets backfield on opening day! 3
BuffaloBillies Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Wow. 80 mph in a 45 mph zone with an open beer = no charges Me going 38 in a 25 MPH zone last year = $90 3

But now you’d expect there is no other action from them league especially now that he has proof he wasn’t doing anything wrong but was arrested anyway, which feeds into the systemic injustice issue... 2
JESSEFEFFER Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I thought he looked ok in the FST video. This is solid news for him. 1

I don't think you need OJ's Dream Team to get you off when the blood results are negative for everything on a DWI charge. 10 3 3

Everyone else at a minimum would get at least a speeding ticket, open container, and you can argue criminal negligence during that fast with an open container even if legally sober. Im happy he’s going to play most likely as I don’t see the NFL (not saying Goodell as he doesn’t rule on that stuff anymore with the new CBA so can’t blame him for everything) doing anything about it. It would be nice if he simply learns from this incident as so many people who get out of something do it again.

He would have been suspended in the off-season On traffic arrests like this they wait until court is over before a suspension is issued. They sometimes will still suspend players if the arrest was a bad look for the league even if charges are dropped. In this case I can't see Oliver receiving any type of suspension.

I do not believe they can charge someone with a traffic violation based on hearsay (a phoned report) but perhaps I am incorrect here? I personally would not want to be able to be charged with something because Citizen Cathy called the police and reported that I was driving 80 mpg in a 45 mpg zone and driving erratically, unless there were some corroborating evidence of this. 9 1
