I hope @The_Slamman provides some details about how this will affect Ruggs moving forward. But after reading up on the current details, I have a lot less sympathy for him than I had for him this morning. How are you driving so reckless to the point where you cause someone else's car to burst into flames when you hit them. I'm glad Ruggs was cut and he is going to jail for a long time. The Raiders wiped him from their existence in less than a day. His NFL career is probably over.

The only reason I say Ruggs has even a small chance to come back to the NFL is because he's 22. He stayed at the scene of the crime, is a first time offender and will probably get a lenient sentence (2-6 years). After doing his time in prison, repenting and getting therapy (his mental state is a huge concern) over this tragedy, I think Ruggs could be a strong public advocate with the NFL against drunk driving (ala Cris Carter).

We know more players are going to do stupid stuff like this speed and get DUIs in the future. Maybe having Ruggs speak about his story to NFL rookies in the future will finally drive the point home that it's not worth it.

I don’t practice criminal law but the facts of this case are not likely going to make for an easy plea agreement.  The minimum sentence is 2 years but given the excessive speed and being DUI 2x the legal limit… I’d say there is little chance that he returns to the nfl even though he is still young.  If I had to guess I’d say 5-7 years would likely be he plea.

Really? Why? He's a shell of his former self and probably no better than what we already have.

It might be because he said he wanted Dak to be his QB when he is on the giants. It might be because it would set the world ablaze as a 'Jerry F You' special. 

50/50, but I want it to happen in the worst way possible.

I don't know man, i can see bringing him on totally screwing the locker room and team chemistry that seems to be in the positive at the moment. Do we really want his whiny @$$ on the sidelines?

He is too petty to fail here. He will cry like TO just to prove he isnt the bad guy. Watch it happen.

I think you’re probably underestimating just how bad Baker Mayfield is. I don’t necessarily want obj on my team because of his personality but I believe he is still a very capable NFL WR, that has been incredibly hampered the last few years
