APFormer Cowboys running back Joseph Randle has been arrested for the fifth time in the last year and a half.
This time Randle was arrested in Kansas on three counts of aggravated battery, one count of drug possession and one count of criminal damage, TMZ reports.
It’s the latest in a long line of legal problems for Randle. Three weeks ago he was arrested in Texas on an outstanding traffic warrant when he went to his ex-girlfriend’s home and residents who didn’t want him there called police. In November Randle was arrested when he allegedly tried to fight a security guard at a casino.
A year ago Randle was arrested on drug charges after police responded to a domestic violence call. In October of 2014 Randle was arrested for stealing underwear and cologne.
Randle started the first six games of the season for the Cowboys last year, rushing 76 times for 315 yards and four touchdowns. But the NFL suspended him and the Cowboys eventually cut him. Now it appears unlikely that he has an NFL future, and the question is whether he’ll ever be able to get his life on track.
Five arrests…just like five letters in I-D-I-O-T
Who cares? Another imbecile who failed to take the opportunity to succeed in life. From NFL to jailhouse. Only he is to blame for his actions.
Stupid is as stupid does.
He’s just flat out Stoo pid.
exactly where Manziel is headed
Maybe the Cowboys can offer him a front office position.
Death pool between Randle, Manziel, and Titus Young would be a difficult decision.
Yet another player GM Jerry tried to convince people he was worth keeping around even after he was dumb enough to be caught stealing underwear.
Seems like Drugs and alcohol got the best of him. NFL player with all that talent and he just throws it away.He’s messed up in the head and needs help.
Left some meat on the bone out there in Dallas.
What’s the record?
I know people are going to call him names, but this is a mental health issue. He needs to be treated, as these acts are the effect of a mental health condition. I hope a judge can see it and sentenced him to a combo of incarceration and treatment.
maybe some jail time will improve his decisions
You can try all you want, but you can’t fix stupid!
What the hell happened with this guy?
Congratulation Joseph! You are the starting running back of the Dallas Cowboys! This is your big chance!
*toliet flushes*
He better hope their is not much meat on the bone where he is going
Everyone deserves a second chance…maybe even a third. But not a fourth or fifth. Sorry.
One more arrest and the Cowboys will consider taking him back
He might even be too much of a leader for jerrah
It’s not a mental health issue. It’s a character issue. He’s a drunk and an a abuser. It’s not an illness.
Argued with Cowboys radio that they should have cut him after the underwear incident after we beat Seattle. I said it was not normal behavior for a millionaire 22 year old. They said chalk it up to youth. I said he’s not 13 years old… This is a grown man!!! I saw this from a mile away. He’s got a serious mental problem that needs help.
Cowboys suck..
Vikings should stay clear of him, we already have a child abuser on our team.
If Obama had a son…
I live my life so I do not come within Six Degrees of Separation of people like this.
It is not hard to do. Except for Jerry Jones.
Give him the chair before he kills someone. Problem solved.
This is baffling to me. I met Randle at a whole foods in Dallas about a week before the underwear incident. He was very nice, was with a young lady and seemed to be enjoying himself. Hope he gets the help he needs.
Titus young 2.0
And somehow…still not in jail or in an institution getting either the punishment or treatment he needs.
Fail.
Titus Young is impressed by this.
I know people are going to call him names, but this is a mental health issue. He needs to be treated, as these acts are the effect of a mental health condition. I hope a judge can see it and sentenced him to a combo of incarceration and treatment.

Drives me nuts when excuses are made for people. So everyone that behaves badly is mentally ill? What a joke. Tiger was addicted to sex, celebrities that use racially derogatory terms go for counseling and/or blame their upbringing or society. At one point can we just admit that some people are bad seeds?
C’mon give him another chance. How bout dem cowboys.
The next Titus Young.
Cowboy lives matter.
Lack of a father figure
Bengals are about to offer him a 5 year deal.
Who is his agent???? Justin BooBoo?
Just lock him up for 10 years already or his string of crimes will continue and will probably end up tragic!
I could care less ifhe gets his life back on track, but I am curious as to wether he has an NFL future.
Sounds like he’s assured that the Cowboys are going to re-sign him now.
Only 5? Shoot, you can’t make the Cowboys’ practice squad with only 5.
Feel bad for him. Obviously he’s got issues. Hopefully he acknowledges the fact that he has some serious issues and gets the needed help
Somehow it’s probably Chip Kelly’s fault.

You must live in a bubble and never leave the house even to go and get gas or go shopping. You have no idea who other people know or interact with. My point is, you have no idea how many degrees of separation you may have with someone like Randle.
None of us know.
I know for a fact that Aaron Hernandez contacted Kraft and co-signed this guy, suggesting the Pats could continue their criminal legacy by picking him up for cheap through an incentive based deal. There is no downside for the Pats here, as its business as usual. On an unrelated note, it’s only a matter of time before its disclosed that Kraft committed a felony by entering into “straw purchases ” when he purchased the guns Hernandez used in his murders. Just a standard perk the Patriots offer their players.
Not even close compared to how many times Brady/Belichik cheat during one season.
CLOWN INTERNET POSTERS … Wow you people are stupid or you just refuse to pay attention …
The Cowboy organization recommended that Randle seek mental help …
His situation has NOTHING to do with being an “idiot” or “wasting his opportunity”
He’s mentally ill … and you numbnuts are blaming him for it .. WEAK
Jerr sure knows how to pick em.
This guy needs to be locked up and kept away from women, guns, and the underwear aisle
The way Jarreh runs the ‘Boys, Randle should be marketed as the face of the Dallas franchise, his face on all season tickets, special events where ‘Boys fans can pay to have the “Randle experience” by pretending to physically beat ‘Boys cheerleaders and snorting massive amounts of simulated cocaine.
Based on the many ‘Boys apologists on this site, there would be a yuge demand…
There has to be a pill for this………maybe his mother should have taken something.
How bout dem Cryboys?!!!
As predicted….
Stop picking on the guy and let him get his life in order.
The way to do that is to let him play in the NFL.
I’ll bet he matures by the time of his 10th arrest.
Do we have a scheduled date for his ring of fame induction ?
So this is what their team leader Greg Hardy showed them…..
This isn’t a mental health issue he’s just an idiot can’t baby everyone
Jones is the billionaire owner of the Dallas Cowboys! How much swag do you want? His efforts at “playing GM” have vastly undermined the on-field cred of his team and has made him the butt of numerous jokes between his fellow owners. Jerry, give it up! The whole world is laughing!
He’s no longer in the NFL, move on.
Jerry keeps inviting trouble on the roster. It’s all his fault. Randle leaves, Hardy and Gregory come in. Jerry’s circus never ends.
If he played in New England, he would have been cut after his first arrest. #ZeroTolerance.
Him and Titus Young will soon be roommates.
Cleveland could use another jailbird. Just a couple more incidents and Randle will prove himself to be Browns material
While Johnny Manziel is the subject of many stories blaming his girlfriend and his alcohol addiction for his problems, everyone is blaming Randle directly for his problems and want him banned for life from the NFL and want him in jail for 25 years. Hmmm. Manziel is white and Randle is black. What could possibly account for the difference in treatment?
The NFL has plenty just like him. This does not surprise.
When you get caught stealing underpants, you really know the sky’s the limit.
I couldn’t care less about this moron but RESET THE ARREST COUNTER!
Oh, poor Joseph Randle! The cops must be out to get him! I’m sure Al Sharpton is warming up the buses to get to Dallas as I write this.

_________________________________________
Apparently, you haven’t read what I’ve been writing about Johnny Busto since his college days. I don’t care what color Manziel is. In fact, I think his color is yellow, based on the way he treats women.
Manziel is an arrogant punk and the NFL should kick his little butt out of the league as far as they can kick him.
The Browns were stupid for drafting him and only a dope like Jerry Jones thinks he’s worth having on a roster.
This article was paid for by Peyton Manning
It’s not clear to me why five arrests should somehow be disqualifying to play in the NFL, while, say, three arrests would not be. Shouldn’t the question be whether you’ve been arrested at all? It just makes no sense to me why the article would say that it now appears that Randle doesn’t have an NFL future, when that should have been true a long time ago.
Must have eaten too many paint chips as a youngin’.
You want to know why the Cowboys haven’t won anything in 22 years? Jerah jones the worst gm is the league.
If you are blessed to make it to a second contract in the NFL, that’s it, you made it.
No bosses, no alarm clocks, no doing anything you don’t want to for life.
We all need mentors, and some of us need those whose lives are cautionary tales.
Randle could’ve been great.
He must be very proud of himself for this accomplishment.
Time for the NFL to step up and say “Goodbye, your not welcome here anymore” just like the drug users and domestic abusers should be gone. There are many players that would take their place on a team if they has the chance.
PUNK
You can’t fix stupid.
Stupid, ignorant, POS…
Lock him up. His stupidity knows no bounds.
“Five arrests…just like five letters in I-D-I-O-T”
That also works for M-O-R-O-N
LeSean McCoy and Johnny Manziel must be happy now that the NFL can turn its attention to someone else.
To be clear…no, it’s not stupidity, but drugs/alcohol could make his condition worse. Mentally ill in this country are rarely diagnosed & treated before their condition becomes extreme, unless a loved one or family member gets them help.
Unfortunately, Joseph Randal is a mentally unstable person with enough money to pay legal fees & avoid treatment, as long as the money lasts & he’s not dead before he gets it…like a an unarmed, completely nude, military vet here who was gunned down by a poorly trained or worse police officer. His crime was being mentally ill & making people uncomfortable.
Randal needs help.
I am sure Hardy will bail him out
He’ll end up in Miami. That is where he belongs.
Has he been released yet by the Cowboys?Something tells me he’s on the roster in September.
Once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy.
Sounds like a Cowboys Ring of Honor candidate.

You’re a fool. I assume you’re voting for Bernie Sanders with the nonsense you’re spewing.
Minimum NFL salary — $435k (Randle made $585k last season)
An enlisted soldier’s salary — maybe $20k
That people in this country can compare Joseph Randle to those that serve our country frightens me. And even worse, their vote in the upcoming election counts the same as those that have a brain. We are so screwed.
He’s another Titus young
Adam Jones went on too succeed after his bumpy Cowboy experiences, Randle just needs some of that Bengal spiritual guidance!

Randle’s behavior is seen variously as the result of “stupidity”, “criminality” or “mental illness”. Quite possibly it is a combination of all three. Consistently making poor choices in life is indeed a characteristic of stupidity. Consistently engaging in risky behavior is indeed a sign of mental illness. Breaking the law is without question a criminal act. Some people care less about what happens to Randle. Some people want him to be removed from society. Some people care but only so far as to wish that Randle gets help. It seems that Randle has been given some help by the Cowboy organization but Randle has either not responded to it or the help was not effective. The adage of not being able to make a horse drink after leading him to water applies. The person who believes Randle is a ‘bad seed’ must either have misspoken or that person believes that his disposition to make bad, risky and criminal decisions arises from a genetic condition, which ironically supports the mental illness hypothesis. The real issue is whether Randle is able to show a willingness to change and under what circumstances can that change be obtained. Unfortunately, no one can claim to know whether some particular form of therapy, or counseling, or mentoring, or educational program, or religion would have the desired effect on Mr. Randle’s future behavior. At some point, Mr. Randle will either change or the law will have its say in the matter; one way or another, Randle will change or he will be removed from society. For those religiously inclined, it may be advisable to pray for Mr. Randle; given Randle’s history this course of action is the only one that can lay claim to working a miracle and Randle surely seems to need one.
Come on Jerruh…
this was the guy you thought was gonna replace DeMarco Murray? he started the first 6 games for cripes’ sake!
you really don’t have a handle on people if this is a guy you choose to represent your team- even if only for a little while.
you got to get it together man, even “The Dan” of the REDSKINS realized he’s in over his head… and you are too.
Hire a consultant- like a charlie casserly type- who’s out of the game, but not too far removed from it. let them recommend some GM’s… you sign a contract to move to Mexico for 3 years. Then let the GM get you a coach and some draft picks, and get the “F” out of the way for 3-5 years… then maybe you’d have something.
but you’ve lost it… and maybe you never had it to begin with.
At least he’s consistent.
If I remember correctly.. After he got busted stealing underwear, He was endorsed by a underwear company.. Look it up!!
#idiot
Obviously, his arrests are only the product of institutional racism by The Man.
It’s That Time Of The Year, Peeps!

Yes, yes…there can be no other explanation! 😀
I was arrested 7 times in 2 years and my life turned out ok. I work at Burger King and easy cars. Living the American Dream.
Joseph cold always fall back on the Peyton Manning defense for all of his problems…”she had a dirty mouth” its worked well for him so far…
Another Mentally Ill millennial
#yawn
That’s too bad, he was a talented RB
Maybe Greg Hardy should mentor him!
At least he is only one year away from completing his nuclear physics degree at OSU, right?
There is something sad in watching someone’s life unravel right in front of you. Especially a life so full of promise. Of course, all the”better then thou” folks here, will have a field day with it cause THEY have achieved so much and never have made mistakes. Obviously the guy has some mental or emotional issues and if he doesn’t get help this will not end well. See what I just did? I made an adult comment without rancor or the usual 3rd grade level, cornball name calling so many do here.

While Johnny Manziel is the subject of many stories blaming his girlfriend and his alcohol addiction for his problems, everyone is blaming Randle directly for his problems and want him banned for life from the NFL and want him in jail for 25 years. Hmmm. Manziel is white and Randle is black. What could possibly account for the difference in treatment?
———————————————————
Well, first of all, there are plenty of people out there claiming that Manziel is nothing more than an entitled punk who deserves lifetime banishment. Second, there are people here indeed stating that they believe that Randle is mentally ill and needs help ASAP.
Finally, Manziel was in substance abuse for 10 weeks last year, and his father has flat out stated that he’s concerned that Johnny will die before his next birthday. In other words, Manziel clearly has issues that are derailing his life. We have no evidence that Randle is anything other than, as someone else stated here, a bad seed.
Maybe he and Manziel can be roomies in jail!
You can’t fix stupid.
Where’s the former Cowboys like Irvin to support Joseph Randle when they’re crying out to help Manziel? I guess people just enjoy the limelight.
cell prone!
enough said.
That sounds incomplete, I heard there were 3 charges of stupidity also.
Mr. Lindsay Lohan strikes again!

Maybe it did, but did you ever stop to think about the lives of the people who care about you? Have their lives turned out ok after what you put them through?
Or how about your victims or people you could have hurt, depending on why you were arrested?
If you have changed, good for you. But never forget people you hurt in the process.
