walshfan Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 dont know if it was mentioned on this site but the word is that DT Claude Wroten's drug test came back positive at the combine workouts... One other low profile player failed his as well..If its true his stock will plummet to the mid rounds..This guy barely got out of a mess in college for selling the stuff...What does this say about a player on the biggest day of his professional lilfe comes in dirty?What a waste of talent...

KiLBurn Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 He has apparantly sent out a letter to all 32 NFL teams, similiar to Luis Castillo last year, explaining that he understands that he made a mistake but that he has learned from it and will not repeat it.Castillo was still picked in the first round last year but stated in his contract that he would forfeit all of his signing bonus if he failed another drug test.I'd spend our first 4th round pick on him if he was still available.

He also had a steroid violation earlier on.. Is there a pattern here? Im sorry letter just dont get it with me.. Sorry he got caught probably..Ill pass on this guy..

marylandbengal Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd spend our first 4th round pick on him if he was still available. I'm not sure I would. We took a chance on Henry, and now we're dealing with the aftermath. Still remains to be seen whether the hassle is worth his talent. I don't consider Odell to have been a risk, I thought all the predraft hype on his supposed attitude problem was just that. Drug use, however - especially right before a combine, is he retarded? - is something else altogether. i just have a bad feeling about it.

KiLBurn Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well, I would think that these two events are connected... Dude gets busted with marijuana in his car before the combine. He stated it was for his own personal use. I am thinking maybe he had already smoked some of the stash before he bought it. Hence, the failed drug test.

bengalboomer7 Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 PASS, PASS, PASS. Not sure all the details of the new CBA, but I know teams can't protect themselves and gain back bonus money like they used to, so it may not even be an option anymore to put that type of language in a contract.(speculation, I don't know the little details of the CBA)We took our chances last year with Henry and Odell, I don't expect Marvin to do that this year.Hope you enjoyed 4/20 Claude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
