Like he used to? I don’t really follow the Cardinals, but the guy is 25, has his play fallen that far?!
It has. He still has a lot he could offer a team,but he isn't the freak he was 3 years ago. And it's hard to say how much of that is permanent, and how much of that is just him needing to get some confidence back.

That makes sense for him. He's from New Orleans so Houston is only an hour flight or a pretty easy road trip to get home to see the family
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

When I saw his contract I was a bit shocked. That's a steal for his potential on a 1 yr 7M deal. I wonder if the Bears were even talking to him?

Not a good idea. A guy who went to LSU and was in the media for all the wrong things. Sometimes it's good for people to get away from their roots and re-invent themselves. Hope he doesn't fall back into the wrong shit.

I hate to admit it but that's exactly what I thought.

To his credit, he has totally re-invented himself. By all accounts he has become a stable family man who has really gotten his head on straight. I'm praying that he stays that way.
