[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 608751"] I'd surmise it's just too big of an unknown. These teams are businesses first, with image and public relations concerns. The chance of losing the use of the draft pick is bad; taking the risk of having your name associated with the next Aaron Hernandez is worse. If he's cleared of charges, he'll get drafted next year with any lingering cloud impacting the amount of the payday. I'd presume your mention of Jerry Jones alludes to his taking Randy Gregory in the latest of his character issue guys, following on his signing of Greg Hardy. It's worth noting Thompson's no boy scout; he's just more price sensitive. Walden, Jolly, Lyerla, Guion...just to name some recent cases. In this game, it's unavoidable; it's just a matter of degree. Gregory went 2 spots ahead of the Packers second round pick. We'll never know how convincing Gregory's interview might have been or how low Thompson would have gone. Maybe he was looking for a Burfict-like free fall into free agency. In any case, we should be getting a close-up look at Gregory come Dec. 13. I suspect he'll outperform the "dumpster fire" assessment of one poster. [/QUOTE]
