keepthefaith Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 He signed James Lofton who had been arrested for sexual assault. He signed Reggie Rogers who had recently served prison time for killing three teenagers with his car. He kept re-signing Bruce Smith after his troubles. What's your point? In the NFL you have to have some tolerance for "bad boys" otherwise most teams would have a tough time fielding 22 starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
