As I'm sure most of you know, former Tight end for the New England Patriots Aaron Hernandez, was arrested Thursday with first degree murder and 5 different gun charges. Now the League and Roger Goodell is stepping in.
Goodell is making it very clear to all the teams around the League, that no one is to talk with Hernandez until the Verdict is given. Also, if any team does talk to Hernandez, "before charges against him are resolved won't be approved without a hearing by Commissioner Roger Goodell." So no team will probably be talking to Hernandez until a verdict is given.
More bad news for Hernandez is that several endorsers have ended relations with him, and in my opinion he won't be getting any back once a verdict is given, provided he is found not guilty.

If you ask me I don't think any teams will be talking to him regardless of the decision of the court. Most teams around the Leagues are trying to stray away from characters like that on their team, to keep away any unnecessary distractions to the team.
If, and only if, a team was willing to take a risk on Hernandez it would be the Oakland Raiders. the Raiders are known for having the "bad boys" on their team.
Everyone knows that there has been many players who have been arrested and let back into the league. Such players as Mike Vick and Plaxico Burress who were convicted and allowed back to play again, and still on NFL rosters. Vick with the Philadelphia Eagles, and Burress with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So there has been players to come back after a "bad time" in their lives.
This is a story I will be following very closely to see what does happen as far as Hernandez's conviction, to if he will be allowed to play again on an NFL team. I will be keeping you up to date as soon as I hear any information from any of my sources.
Until next time,
You keep doing what you do, and I'll keep you up to date with everything sports.
