I hope he can at least stick on some team’s practice squad. Otherwise, he’ll have to try going through the arena league, UFL, CFL, or some other side route to make it. Hey, it worked for Kurt Warner and Fred Jackson, so you never know.

That woman is the lowest form of scum on the earth, and I hope she goes to jail for a long, long time.

Is he still able to use his scholarship at USC or was that taken away?

I never get into this sappy story crap but I find myself really rooting hard for this kid. An I agree with the post about throwing the woman in jail for 20 years. At least as long as he was in jail.

Ross must have made an executive decision after realizing the negative PR his team would face when Jeff Ireland inevitably asks if Bank’s mother was a prostitute.

Hope his accuser burns for what she has done. She should be held liable in civil court for the damage she has done (as well as spend time in the slammer herself), but I imagine she set up an agreement to prevent all of that from happening.

Wish him the best, hope he can still play at a high level…even for the SeaDawgs. Maybe he can make a practice squad and get on a roster next year.

The woman who made up the crime needs to be put in prison for 200 years. I wish Banks the best. He deserves it after the hell that stupid woman put him through

Women that falsely accuse rape should be sentenced for the same amount of time a man would get sentenced that actually committed rape.

Seahawks are giving him a shot because Carroll cares about the kids…. Dolphins would be strictly PR for Hard Knocks, or a diversion from Ireland and a lack of a #1 qb, wr, rb, etc…

I don’t know for sure but I doubt that there is, after all this time and statutes of limitations, any recourse to go after his accuser.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the Eagles take a look at him.

Florio didn’t propose the Dolphins could be the right team to offer Banks a shot, he predicted it. I’m glad he didn’t reply to my post and give me the numbers for the Florida Powerball tonight. He would have been off that mark as well.

“Matter of fact”, the Dolphins went on to add, “we still think the guy is guilty as sin. Why they let him out is a mystery to us.”.

The Dolphins realized that Brian Banks would just be another player/coach that wants no part of the circus that Stephen Ross calls an NFL team.Instead of Banks signing with another team it was easier to bow out.

For one that girl should and will be punished, second I hope that he makes it in the NFL, give him a shot, after being in prison and loosing everything, the guy will give 250% and never give up, and that’s the kind of players the NFL wants. Good luck to this kid.

Hope this guy catches on with a team! If he cant find an NFL™ team, he should try the CFL™. He can always come back to the NFL™ if hes that good!

Wish him all the best!

Of course no one will mention the elephant in the room, that this happened to blacks systematically under the prior President.

I fail to see the harm in giving this young man a tryout after his dreams were shattered by a false accuser and the criminal justice system. He obviously had serious potential if he was offered a scholarship by USC. It is a shame what happened to him, and I pray that this doesn’t happen to others.

Classy of Carroll to give Mr. Banks a shot, he’s been known to find a few diamonds in the rough during his time in Seattle so I hope this guy could be the next Mike Williams type comeback story.

If he doesn’t stick in Seattle I hope the Ravens will give him a shot, can never have too much linebacker depth.

As soon as I heard about him tryng to get a shot in the NFL I knew Carroll would give him a shot. Not only the prior relationship with recruiting, but they have never left a stone unturned. Good luck to Brian what ever happens.
