Cards signing Gladney

[Russ Smith]

It wasn't a trial per se.

A Grand Jury deemed there was insufficient evidence to bring the issue to trial.

Given that it's said that a Grand Jury in America would indite a ham sandwich; it's fair to say that someone, a black man at that, walking away without a legal blemish shouldn't be subject to further non-judicial punishment.

Actually he DID have a trial and was found not guilty by 12-0.

"A Dallas jury found former Minnesota Vikings cornerback Jeff Gladney not guilty on a felony assault charge Thursday.

The verdict was unanimous, according to online court records."

I don't know how Texas works it may be different but it sounds like the grand jury indicted him and they also had a grand jury for the verdict. In California they sometimes use a grand jury to decide whether to charge or not and then use a regular not grand jury for the actual trial, in which case the verdict has to be unanimous. Since the story specifically said the verdict was unanimous I'm assuming they had a grand jury do the verdict too but I could be wrong?

But the thing you cite is within the game and the other is in a court and a not guilty verdict was given

I've seen Vikings fans say that he performed badly but had excuses. He was their #1 CB his rookie year, without a preseason, in the same year that the Vikings lost all their pass rushers.

I stand corrected. My Twitter feed said 'Grand' Jury.

I think the grand jury was the first part I'm not sure what sort of jury he had for the actual trial.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Now they also need to sign Hamilton back in the mix for depth

As a fellow TCU alum, I’m glad Gladney is getting a 2nd chance after being found not guilty from those charges. Prayers to all parties involved. Time to move forward.

I’m not expecting much because who knows what kind of shape he kept himself in while going through that kind of legal process. It can easily take a toll on a person physically and mentally.

I’m definitely rooting for him to bounce back.

Right now that is probably right. It's not like we are loaded at the position.

Cards still need to add a CB early in the draft. Also sign a vet free agent CB but don't break the bank.

I really hope ARZ is not trying to increase comp pick count as an excuse for targeting release players instead of FA's who can actually help. I know we don't have cap room but we need more than 1 CB who hasn't played in a year to complete the CB unit. Not sure how much Kevin King, Steven Nelson, Eli Apple, Kyle Fuller, Xavier Rhodes, Chris Harris, Casey Hayward, Donte Jackson, Jason Verrett, etc are looking for but I don't see any of them getting more than $5M a year. ARZ should be able to pick up at least a couple from this list.

U can add one of them when the addition won't have an impact in the compensatory formula

You get the best deals later. Loads of time left.

I hear Malcolm Butler is un-retiring

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm glad to hear about the signing although I haven't had time to research it properly.

Hopefully this takes some of the pressure off having to draft a cornerback early.

 

[Stout]

Hard to get excited about this but always hopeful. Hope we still sign Alford.

Alford, ick.

 

[Stout]

its still early, but sure looks like Keim is working to max the comp pick formula

both the Kirk and Chandler contracts are 3rd round pick kinda contracts

only outside add so far .. Gladney .. doesnt count against it.

Zadarious Smith and Julio Jones wouldnt count against it either

It's not a bad strategy, really. Unfortunately, we have so many holes it may be too costly a strategy for Keim to play.

 

[AZCB34]

Still in shock that we signed someone who had been charged with felony domestic battery regardless of the outcome of his trial. Usually a guy the Cards would not even consider.

It’s not like he has a DUI or something

Anybody but Apple

Keep in mind this is a good draft for CBs. Gladney will start but I expect rookie like mistakes. Potential for a decent player is there. He’s a definite upgrade.
