Aaron Hernandez Saga

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Yup. If you want an oft injured old TE. Better off with Ballard and actually running the football.



What's the rules on paying the contract when taken off waivers?

Seahawks gonna go after him. Raiders would be perfect though.

It's hard to say what exactly will happen with his contract, he has a guaranteed base salary over the next couple of seasons and unpaid bonuses that the Patriots will almost certainly try and prevent payment due to the events leading to his release. I would be surprised if a team is going hear enough between now and the deadline tomorrow to want to claim him off waivers with a $40m+ contract and an uncertain future. He's almost certainly facing a suspension of an unknown duration (and at worst case indefinitely) and a short leash thereafter.

Shocked his lawyers didn't arrange for him to turn himself in. You never want to do the perp walk in front of the cameras for the jury pool.

I doubt his lawyers even had a chance to arrange it. Or they flat out said no.

I figure this was their way of saying "we'll show them" after Hernandez's lawyer mouthed off about how there was no arrest forthcoming. You could tell by the way he was dressed that Hernandez didn't expect it.

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Could there be something in the contract about if he gets arrested and put in jail X amount of bonus dollars is void? Damn if I was the Patriots I just would of rostered him and put him on a not able to play list or something because thats a huge hole in their salary now

Maybe, but I respect the Pats a heck of a lot for doing it...

This is a long shot but when they first handcuffed him I thought to myself if they have a Transport Directive in their SOP, they could just be transporting him to HQ for an interview. May sound stupid but some agencies are not allow to transport folks in their Cruisers unless they are handcuffed.

However, if that was the case you wouldn't have seen 6 Detectives.

And I think the tell tale sign is the Patriots releasing him. I don't believe they would try to distance themselves for an obstructing charge. So my guess is we will see an Obstructing and Hindering Charge and an Accessory to Murder-After. Just my guess and I don't know Attleboro's charging language.

That 30 for 30 should be epic

Re: Aaron Hernandez Saga

Being reported (grain of salt goes here) that he'll be taken to jail after arraignment. No bail.

FOX 25 just said Hernandez will go to Bristol County Jail after arraignment. This is a no bail situation.

Yeah once he hired the cleaning crew, the writing was on the wall.

No ball means he's in deep ****?

In case you haven't noticed, the Raiders are being run now by an entirely different person and he doesn't go after players with a history of legal issues. So no, Oakland will NOT be signing him... SMH

No bail means this isn't obstruction only

[Aggies7]

Like ND said if that report from earlier is correct about no bail that would lean towards him being charged with the murder. Obstructing in most jurisdiction do not include a no bail status. And even with a Murder charge his attorneys will tell the judge he is not a flight risk and try to have him put on house arrest until the trial.

However, that report could mean he will be charged with obstructing and transported to Jail until the bail is posted. But with the kind of money he has I wouldn't even see him being transported to a jail prior to making bail.

Had to fix this, cause I'm assuming his new contract will be void.

[iRepIndiana]

No bail pretty much means that they have hard evidence in this case and they don't want to let him go with the possibility of if they HAD to come get him again that he might not be there.

No bail means he's in deep **** and they have some hard evidence.
