It is alleged he was trying to smuggled marijuana from the US into Costa Rica. He was apparently barred from entering that country and is back in the United States  

 

Harmon, though the third safety, played 66% of the Patriots snaps in 2017, as preferred Belichick employed a big nickel package. 

 

Big loss if this leads to a suspension.

2 points:

1.   If it’s a felony then he’s in trouble. Or however they treat it in Costa Rica.  If it’s not it would just count as 1 strike in the drug policy.  Weed gets 4 total strikes before you get suspended.  

2.   Having said that how stupid can you be?   You’re trying to bring drugs INTO Costa Rica from the US?    Seems like he should have gotten caught the other way around.

Isn't Bill Belichick very strict about this sort of thing?  Not trying to make a joke or anything, just wondering if Harmon has more to worry about from Belichick than the league. 

Well cutting Harmon equals exactly zero cap savings as his dead money equals his cap hit.

If he was simply detained and turned back to the US, he might get off with no legal issues. I just skimmed the article but them sending him back to the US rather than arresting him is probably a good sign for him.

I don’t see any upside to cutting him, but maybe B.B. issues some in house punishment.

I used to think Billicheck was the modern age Tom Landry when it came to discipline and rules. Though he has proven more lax by a fair compared to Tom.

"smuggling"

Should not be more than a 1 game suspension at the very most.

 Smuggle: convey (someone or something) somewhere secretly and illicitly. 

 

he allegedly had over two ounces of marijuana hidden in ice tea can. By definition that’s smuggling. 

The suspensiin will depend likely on how the NFL views that action and how it fits within United States federal law and Costa Rican law.

Again if it’s not a felony - it’s just 1 strike in the drug program.  

2 ounces?   SMH.  It won’t get prosecuted as a felony.  

Now on principle the team should suspend him for stupidity lol.  That’s a max of 1 game though.   

How badly do you need to bring in 2 Oz?   Come on dude.

I wasn't necessarily referring to whether or not Belichick would cut him, but maybe suspend him or something.
