I agree with this.

And if the Ravens thought that, they wouldn't have a Hall of Fame linebacker on their hands, and would not have won SuperBowl XXXV. Different players, but same principle

- R.Lewis - indicted for murder 1/2000
- Super Bowl MVP 1/2001

I would think each case is different. Before everything went down with Ray Lewis, he had already achieved superstar status. Aqib Talib has only achieved decently talented corner status. On top of that, Ray Lewis didn't have Goodell as his commish, and guilty or not Talib is probably already facing a nice suspension for his off-the-field transgressions.

Probably the best possible rationalization I've heard about this. Well done!

I think all the Skins supposedly did was inquire about him. I think if he doesn't go to jail and gets a small suspension from Goodell or none at all then a late round draft pick wouldn't be bad. The article even says the Skins can sit back and wait. If he doesn't go to jail then heck I'd give a late round draft pick even if he had to sit out some this year, give him a strict contract with an out if he gets into trouble and I'd be fine with that.

Tim Hightower believes in his team. Perhaps the Patriots offered him more money than the Redskins did, but his heart was in Washington. The Redskins have the right players in place on both sides of the ball to make at least 5 straight playoff appearances. This Redskins team is like a time bomb waiting to explode. Hightower strongly believes championship caliber football is on the way.

Here is the link to Talib's case being dropped. Honestly, I would be real happy to get him.

Make it so.

Would be real nice to see him line up with D.Hall and J.Wilson with the QBs in our division. Would instantly make our defense real competitive - at least on paper.

Of course, we'd have to lock his doors so trouble doesn't come to him. DC is an easy place to breed trouble.

Goodell will still suspend him. He has suspended non-convicted men before.

He'll either cite the "personal conduct policy" or just use his current line saying "Talib violated the spirit of the law".

No that's John Mara's law. Although who knows, with the ego Mara has, he might try to suspend Talib before Goodell would probably step in and tell Mara not to do his (Goodell's) job.
