Julian Edelman has socially distanced himself, . . . from his legal troubles, anyway.

According to TMZ.com, the misdemeanor vandalism charges against the Patriots wide receiver have been dropped.

He was charged after jumping on the hood of a car in January, and it’s no upset to learn that alcohol may have been involved. He reportedly compensated the victim for the damage to the hood of the car, so prosecutors were willing to let him slide.

The 33-year-old wideout is also coming off shoulder surgery and reportedly needs some work on his knee as well, in addition to coming to grips with the reality that he’s no longer teammates with Tom Brady.

  2. It’s over for this overrated loudmouth. He will be exposed as he will no longer be catching passes from Brady, not to mention he is no spring chicken.

  5. Here’s the money for the damage, and here’s another $10G for my entitled rich man fee.
    Can I go now?

  6. Great player, one of the best. What a story, too. A QB in college, and BB morphs him into a HOF WR.

    His season last year was incredible, with a broken rib and a leg problem all year, going over 1000 yds in receiving.

    With the poor playing Brady gone, the Pats red zone acvivity should be much stronger with Sidham under Center, certainly doing better than a 35% compl rate in the red zone like Brady did in 2018.

    All hail BB, the master.

    He still faces suspension for the arrest.

    If there is no charge for a conviction, there can’t be a suspension.

    Sorry.

    Derek Wolfe, Tyreek Hill, etc, say hello. All guilty on audio or video of crimes, but nothing happened due to Goodell cheating for those teams.

    Heck, Donte Fowler only got 1 game for punching a guy, stealing his groceries and throwing the guy’s groceries into a lake.

    Maybe so, but STILL 17th among the NFL’s all-time leaders in career punt return average…

    Maybe so, but if he paid for the damage and the car owner was fine with that, then I think it’s okay personally.

    Read the Gastowski article. In the comments he tried to change the narrative of Edelman’s return average. He was just taking Edelman’s first 4 years into account. Tool he his. Yes, Edelman is still #17 on the list.

  13. “He still faces suspension for the arrest.”

    Not likely. The NFL rarely suspends players who are not convicted of anything, and then only if they are serious crimes.

    Jumping on the hood of a car and denting it, not exactly serious now is it
