$1.9 million per year-pay your agent and the tax man, get a house and a Hummer, rent a pad in the city you play for, take the entourage out for bottle service at the strip club, and it’s all gone!

A mid level player at mid-career. It’s not going to last forever, especially if you get injured or cut. Then what? You have no other skills, and low character…so, yeah, that kilo deal sounds pretty good.

That being said, I read the complaint. Sounds like his lackey who details his car did a lot of big talking to undercover feds and this is the result. He may have an entrapment defense, but he’s finished in the NFL.

What ever happened to Jerome Simpson of the Bengals? Where’s his arrest?

Just like you’re “thorough” when obtaining permits for accessory seating structures within your stadium

Hurd was dealing drugs, but if he hadn’t gotten arrested before, how are they going to know unless whoever doing the background check spies on him?

You are both wrong. He was neither run out of town nor cut. He left to the Bears as a UFA. He was a great ST player but wanted the money and a chance to compete for a top 3 WR position.

Can someone explain to me if the only drugs confiscated were the drugs supplied by the government and no money was exchanged how is this not entrapment?

—————————

Bottom Line Up Front: Sam Hurd was not entrapped because he had full criminal intent prior to meeting with the undercover agents.

A person is ‘entrapped’ when he is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime that he had no previous intent to commit; and the law as a matter of policy forbids conviction in such a case.

However, there is no entrapment where a person is ready and willing to break the law and the Government agents merely provide what appears to be a favorable opportunity for the person to commit the crime. For example, it is not entrapment for a Government agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informer or other decoy, to engage in an unlawful transaction with the person. So, a person would not be a victim of entrapment if the person was ready, willing and able to commit the crime charged in the indictment whenever opportunity was afforded, and that Government officers or their agents did no more than offer an opportunity.

On the other hand, if the evidence leaves a reasonable doubt whether the person had any intent to commit the crime except for inducement or persuasion on the part of some Government officer or agent, then the person is not guilty.

In slightly different words: Even though someone may have [sold drugs], as charged by the government, if it was the result of entrapment then he is not guilty. Government agents entrapped him if three things occurred:

- First, the idea for committing the crime came from the government agents and not from the person accused of the crime.

- Second, the government agents then persuaded or talked the person into committing the crime. Simply giving him the opportunity to commit the crime is not the same as persuading him to commit the crime.

- And third, the person was not ready and willing to commit the crime before the government agents spoke with him.

On the issue of entrapment the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was not entrapped by government agents.

Eagles to cover any line is the bet. Easy money.

Anyone think the reason Hurd was pushed out of town could have been that the Cowboys got wind of his plans?
—————————————————–

Yeah. And the holocaust was invented.

The money he made subsequent to being drafted is what allowed him to become a “kingpin”.

I am also no Jerry Jones apologist, but he did nothing wrong, nor could you expect them to have known. If they did know, and then did nothing about it, that would be another story.

I really feel for Lovey Smith. He’s a class act who has had a really bad year. Maybe Bears management will finally wake up and spend some real money on some quality free agents as oppose to drug dealers and cast offs.

Not making excuses for him because he made a very a dumb decision that he’s going to have to live with. But, if you befriend 100 (26 year olds) and offered to give them a kilo, Sam Hurd wouldn’t be the only one to take the drugs. Heck if you befriended 100 (40 or 50 year olds) who’ve never had a traffic ticket and offered them a kilo and they thought they could sell it for twice the amount and make a quick buck wholesaling, my guess is that we’d be shocked at the amount of guys who might make the same bad decision. Maybe 10 or 20%???? That’s why entrapment is not allowed.

Umm…it should! This is like a QB throwing an INT or and O coord calling a play on 4th down that doesn’t work and him saying it was the right call and he’d do it again. Obviously if they can miss what Hurd’s up to, they aren’t doing a good enough job. Proof is in the pudding Jerry, not in opinion.

If that’s true then (as we learned in the Jerry Sandusky case…) indifference is just as wrong as the act… right?
===========
I’m pretty sure that he was cut bc in 5 years, he started grand total of 6 games, never had more than 4 receptions in a game, and avg’d a mere ~14 yards per game. Thats just not much of an impact, so why resign a guy like that when you can try to find someone better. Say….a Laurent Robinson, perhaps?

But if you want to play the conspiracy game, it can go both ways: Maybe he was pushed out of town, bc Dallas knew he was dirty, and they were the ones who notified the feds. Of course, as a matter of ongoing investigation, JJ couldn’t actually say this, so instead he just covers his butt.

Yeah, I don’t buy that either. Just like I don’t buy your theory. There isn’t always a nefarious plot behind events. Sometimes, coincidences really do happen.
