If the time he's been in jail already is counted, then he only has about 18ish months left.

Not sure if that's the case. If so, it's even worse.

He should have gotten more than 3 for just the dog. The lady was worth another 10 IMO.
Plea deals suck. He was facing the possibility of a total of 46 years. He got 3-10. SMH.
---------------------------------------
Ruggs was driving 156 mph seconds before he slammed his Corvette into the back of a Toyota SUV in Las Vegas, according to police.
Ruggs refused a field sobriety test, according to police, but prosecutors said he had a blood alcohol level of 0.161% -- more than twice the legal limit in Nevada.
As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped several other charges, including felony reckless driving. The Clark County District Attorney's Office said it agreed to a plea deal because there was a "legitimate concern" that the court would have suppressed the result of the blood draw and prosecutors could have lost the felony DUI charge, the most serious charge Ruggs faced.

It’s so strange what gets allowed and what doesn’t in trials.
I know there are good reasons behind it but I say spill all the facts and let things fall where they do.
Btw, I’m not a lawyer, ha.

It's great that OJ can take a stab at this.
He really knows how to cut through all the BS
He knows that Ruggs is being handled with kid gloves
Screw this guy and his sweetheart plea deal. In one breath he apologizes to his victim's family and goes on and on about how his name and face in the paper must bring them extra pain and in the next breath he says he'd love to return to Vegas and play for the Raiders once he is released - which would put his name and face in the paper more often, causing his victim's family more pain. Real man of genius here.
Former Raiders WR Henry Ruggs apologizes to crash victim's family
Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III received a special release from prison Tuesday to speak at a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas.
At the event, Ruggs apologized to the family of Tina Tintor, a 23-year-old woman he killed in a car crash on Nov. 2, 2021.
"I wish I could turn back the hands of time," Ruggs said when asked what he would tell the family in a video taken by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "I would love for them to meet the real Henry Ruggs and not the one that was escaping from something."
Ruggs later clarified he was "escaping" the pressure that came with being a first-round pick, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Ruggs traveled at speeds of up to 156 mph in Las Vegas on the night of the fatal crash and had a blood alcohol content of 0.161, more than twice the legal limit in Nevada.
Tintor and her dog, Max, were burned to death after Ruggs' Chevrolet Corvette slammed into the rear of her Toyota RAV-4. Ruggs and his girlfriend – Kiara Kilgo-Washington, who goes by Rudy Washington – suffered non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the crash.
Ruggs pleaded guilty to felony DUI causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in May 2023. He is serving a 3- to 10-year prison sentence and lamented the notoriety of his case in his Tuesday apology to Tintor's family.
"I sincerely apologize for not only being a part of that situation, but the fact my face is always in the news, it's always in the newspaper," Ruggs said. "So they have to constantly be reminded of the situation, be reminded of me. Those memories have to continue to rise because of all of the fame and the notoriety I have, which I never asked for. I never liked. I would just tell them that like I said I deeply apologize for being a part of that."

Someone def will. FWIW, he was having a good season and on track for 1,000 yards prior to killing the woman and her dog. I’m not advocating for it at all, js he will def get a look and I’d be very surprised if he’s not back in the league.
its his livelihood and the league has a forgiving history.
The courts decided his punishment so I see no reason why he cant go back to earning when he is free if he is still able.

Good luck to whoever signs him. The local MADD is going to have a field day.

Sucked? In his 2nd year he was on pace for 80ish receptions, 1100ish yards, 20 YPC, 5+ TDs. If MHJ has a 2nd season like that, I guess we'll say he sucked, too.

No matter what MHJ does, people on this board will say he sucks.
Yep. For some of these folks if he isn't stacking 1800 yds and 15 TD's every season he was a wasted pick.

Yessir. With those stats, if we don’t win a SB, they’ll say it was garbage yards and he wasn’t the leader his draft status warranted lol.

I need his help in Dynasty fantasy football! Don't judge me.
He had half a season where he had 67 yards per game on average with a YPC of just under 20 yards.
He was getting just over 4 targets per game and catching two 3rds of them, all on deep balls. Which was easier to do with peak Renfrow and peak Darren Waller. They were trowing the ball 37 times a game and he was getting 4 targets.
He was a role player, deep balls only. I don't think any team would (or should) take the toxicity and negative press that would come with hiring a 28 year old role playing WR that hasn't played football in 5 years.

So basically he didn't suck. Got it.
