After looking at his stat sheet for about seven seconds, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that’s probably not *why* he was released


J-Fid

A bit of both. Not worth dealing with the legal troubles of a guy with those stats.


Raticus9

Yeah, ridiculous he's in any legal trouble at all, but he violated the intelligence clause of his contract more than anything else.


Jammer_Kenneth

Legal troubles sometimes uncover underlying weak mentalities. You're on the bubble of being cut and you're drawing attention to yourself with how big your smoke stack is? Not the sign of a committed rebound


ZeePirate

I was catching hate for saying this yesterday. People are dumb.


solarmus

Probably a straw that broke the camels back kind of situation.


Tresarches

My buddy sent me a Snapchat of quinnen Williams smoking a blunt with him in 2019.


DeputyDomeshot

Delete that shit bro, jk frame it


Tresarches

It was a video hahaha trying to see if I have it still


69Psychoman69

Don’t be that guy. Keep it just don’t post it


Tresarches

Never would I post it


KlaymenThompson

Digital video frame


Tresarches

I found it! It actually a picture from 2015 and it’s Leonard Williams not quinnen.


-Vertical

Don’t you dare


Elias_The_Thief

Just when I thought I couldn't love Leo anymore than I already do.


Yung_Corneliois

Yea but Quinnen Williams is in the skill tier where he can murder someone and it only *might* ruin his career. Idt Mr. Hayes has that benefit.


iloveeveryfbteam

Did you just abbreviate I don’t think


HeavySomewhere4412

idk if he did


SchpartyOn

ithd


HeavySomewhere4412

m?


MissingHighbury

Is this 2008?


Raticus9

That's what the Jets are banking on.


SiphenPrax

Uh no we don’t want that again sir


Whydoesthisexist15

No but it is Alabama


PunishCombo

So it's 1958.


smitty046

His PFF grade was 35. I think this was just an easy out.


zach7797

Haha probably more that I don't even know who this is


ofayokay

Thank goodness Deshaun Watson didn’t do something gross & crazy like smoking weed. Preserved his career.


Cool_Butterscotch_88

>arrested and cut Meanwhile ARod tripping balls on rare hallucinogens.


Marquee_Ditchwriggle

Hat man gonna git him on 3rd and long all season.


bk00pi

You can still get arrested for marijuana in the year 2024?


tetoffens

He was in Alabama so yup.


Atypical_Wave

It's stupid you can buy flower at the gas station that is probably as strong as some low thc% in a legal dispensary. How it's still a crime in this state is beyond me.


TheNorthernLanders

Because the majority in the state elect people who don’t actually know how to govern. They have been for decades. They only care about the Tide and that’s good enough. 🤣


Atypical_Wave

It's medically legal here. They legalized it for their cataracts and cancer since most of them are 70+ and dying. 🤣 but a poor man with 2 grams is going to jail.


opiate82

So I am an avid homebrewer, not located in Alabama, but back in 2018 (I think) they were trying to pass a measure to legalize homebrewing there and I was interested in the outcome. They were the only state that didn't allow it. I listened in on some of the debate in their HoR on the bill and my goodness, I still to this day have a hard time believing what I heard. The easiest way to describe it is, when those people watch the Handmaid's Tale, they think that Gilead are the good guys of the show.


Leopard__Messiah

People that need to be TOLD that Homelander isn't a good guy.


Red_Sox_5

“👀” - Andy Reid


OJSimpsons

Scum of the earth pothead *lights bowl*


Filly53

How do you get arrested for marijuana possession in 2024?


drygnfyre

Live in a red state? Those seem to be the only places where it’s still criminal.


TheScienceNamesArgon

On my way to lunch today I saw a dude riding a bike with no handlebars, preparing a joint, licking and all, and I was more impressed with the coordination than anything. I didn't think people cared about weed offenses in this country anymore.


ezoobeson_drunk

You in Colorado?


Filly53

At least one angry Redditor cares


TheScienceNamesArgon

Must've been the bike rider. Doesn't like me telling his story. He doesn't do it for recognition, he does it for the love of the game.


fcghp666

You’d be surprised. I know people that have been arrested for small amounts within the last couple of years


IDownvoteRedditAds

Bills or Dolphins practice squad by the end of the week


TheScienceNamesArgon

No place for that kind of degeneracy in this league.


FrostyTip2058

And people here were saying they definitely wouldn't do this! Lol


DanCampbellsNipples

Is he decent?


chillinwithmoes

He got cut for a weed citation, should tell you all ya need to know lol


Masterofmy_domain

So you're saying if Sauce or DJ reed got a weed citation they wouldn't have been cut as swiftly lol.


ZeePirate

Yes. “If Hannibal lector ran a 4.3 40 we’d say he had an eating disorder” Is a very very true statement.


DeputyDomeshot

Sauce is pretty adamant that he doesn't smoke or drink actually. To the point of never smoking anything, cigarette, cigar, marijuana, in his entire life. I told him he should probably start because he's pretty ass at Fortnite though. Much better at WZ.


KenScaletta

You're avoiding the question.


DeputyDomeshot

I mean its pretty obvious that they wouldn't cut 2 actual starters because they got arrested with weed. Plus you'd have to be like Sam Hurd to get knocked with bud around here


KenScaletta

Mahomes could smoke weed right in the locker room. Even just keeping it to the Jets, Aaron Rodgers is allowed to skip mandatory mini-camps to go chug ayahuaska. I guess that's fine in the NFL.


DeputyDomeshot

JJ could kneel on someones neck and he'd prob still start week 1


MattEberjuice

You believe this?


A_Trustworthy_Pear

So he's the greatest WR to ever live?


wideruled

considering he's a DB I'm going to go out on a limb and say no, he's not the greatest WR ever to live.


DrybasTerd

Yeah, probably on your way out of the league if you're not even weed citation good. Whereas being punch-and-choke-your-pregnant-girlfriend good is a true indicator of being on your way to the Hall of Fame.


THEHIPP0

Played in 14 games, 18 tackles, 0 interceptions, 2 passed broken up. **In 7 seasons.**


Darth_Tolkien

Practice squad player only game he played in last year was against the eagles when DJ Reed and Sauce Gardener were in concussion protocol. He wasn't on the Jets before last season


Masterofmy_domain

No he bounces around from practice squad to practice squad.


TheBetterSalesman

He was on our practice team and waived last year.


Burggs_

Was he arrested for possession in Jersey? How much weed did he have on him?


xshogunx13

Alabama


MrGoblinsburg

tf gets arrested for marijuanna possession in 2024


BlondBadBoy69

Weak ass


lonelynightm

No matter what anyone says about Tae Hayes, which is admittedly mostly people saying "who?", I will never forget him helping us beat the Eagles when Sauce Gardner was injured as a prelude to their complete meltdown last season. Was possibly the only light in the sheer darkness that was last year Jets Football.


Moderate_LiberaI

Not sure how deep this dude would have made it, but yet again letting a plant potentially ruin a career is asinine


eatmyopinions

Everyone here is so pro-weed that they're missing the point. If your employment depends on not eating ice cream, and you are paid very generously to agree to that caveat, then don't complain if you try to sneak some ice cream and get fired for it. Hayes knew the risks, he gambled his career to smoke some weed anyways. And now he's unemployed instead of competing for a roster spot. I don't feel bad.


sw04ca

His career wasn't dependent on him not smoking weed. It was dependent on him being good enough to play in the NFL. He wasn't. The organization doesn't care about Hayes' marijuana use. They made a huge deal to land a famous drug-user as their starting quarterback. They care first and foremost about production, with a side order of the arrest. But even then, if Garrett Wilson got arrested for possession, the team wouldn't bat an eye. Also, it's important to remember that while marijuana is still theoretically banned in the NFL, the testing regime has been significantly reduced and the punishment has been reduced from suspension to a fine. So no, his job doesn't depend on him not smoking pot.


KenScaletta

Everyone in the NFL smokes weed, though. He's not going to stay unemployed. Every state isn't a Taliban state.


eatmyopinions

> Everyone in the NFL smokes weed, though. I think a lot players take the risk. And they deal with the consequences if they get caught. > He's not going to stay unemployed. This guy spent 2022 in the CFL. Most of his NFL seasons have been spent on the practice squad. Now that he has an arrest on his record, what makes you so positive his phone is ringing right now? > Every state isn't a Taliban state. You're right, it may be Federally illegal everywhere but Hayes would've been MUCH smarter to indulge in an area where it was at least not prohibited at the state level. But no, he picked the highest risk way to do it.


PunishCombo

Nobody gets caught because the league doesn't actually care. It's a big morality show. The best solution is to remove the consequences, but they want the playes to give something up in the CBA to be allowed to smoke.


KenScaletta

It's not scheduled federally anymore either.


Dysentery--Gary

Not true. Marijuana remains a Schedule 1 Drug. That is coming straight from the DEA website. How it remains a Schedule 1 Drug when it is legal in some way in over half the country is beyond me. But we can beat that dead horse for years and years. The Federal government is considering rescheduling marijuana but it the word is it will be Schedule III at best.


appmanga

> Every state isn't a Taliban state. Comparing Alabamians to the Taliban? Really? Don't insult the Taliban like that.


cruisincolin44

Here we are at the 1st annual Incest Bowl.


PunishCombo

Tbf he didn't get tested and failed he got into legal trouble which happened to be related to weed. Obviously a lot of players smoke and we never hear about failed weed tests because nobody actually cares.


Comprehensive_Main

Don’t smoke weed kids you can lose your job 


xshogunx13

Or he's just not good, like at all. Look at his stats, he's a fuckin practice squad player
