From what I hear, he drives a 2016 Nissan Juke.

Seems legit

As it relates to NC legal statutes, possibly.

As far as the NFL is concerned, definitely not.

Regarding NC legal statutes, the cost of the ticket is slightly more.  But his insurance cost will go up significantly.  I read somewhere that the cost of a ticket for speeding in excess of 15mph is around 1600 over 3 years.  Pocket change for most NFL players of course, but for the rest of us, a significant chunk of change.

There's a good chance they knock that speed down and it may not even hit court.    Also there is a difference in 15 over on interstates compared to residential areas.    If you're going 15 over in a residential area you also have high risk of getting wreckless driving.    Usually on interstates you don't get that.    I got a 85 on 65 on 485 years ago and went uptown and they knocked it to like 7 over, paid a fine, called it a day.    Of course I had no prior tickets but they didn't check that, they just went down the line waiting for traffic court and knocked down everyone's.     But, the drug charges may hurt him not sure.

And that, to me, is the most shocking thing about this story. You would think a player would have a better whip....

I get the speeding and I get that he had some weed.  But the dude must have been smoking up while rolling down 85 at 90mph (or just had the weed laying around in his seat).  Its not like they are searching your car for a speeding violation.  Either way, you can't fix stupid.

Dumb moves by a bubble player during the preseason. Lots of competition for spots on this team and he's in a crowded pack during a transition year. 

Sometimes it's just a Darwin thing and he's removed himself from the equation.

I would turn that around.  90 in a 65 is worse than the possession issue.  And probably a more significant legal and financial penalty.

But speeding doesn't get you suspended by the nfl.

Fingers crossed that under the new ownership that Cox Jr is going to get an opportunity to learn and grow from this decision. He's developed into a solid rotational piece and seems to be occupying the role that Wes Horton once held on the team. Would be a shame to have that all taken away because we're still in the midst of prohibition. :/

you're so awesome.  does your career involve getting your body smashed a whole bunch every day? i'm just thinking, if it did you may want to smoke a little weed.

Issue isn’t about whether it SHOULD be legal or if the NFL SHOULD allow it...that is another debate.

the issue is that is that it is extremely dumb to risk a very lucrative career over doing it....especially for a relatively fringe player.

Let's be clear here, he jeopardized his career by speeding.  The weed is secondary in this scenario.

I agree, in my current job, I get randomly drug tested, and can lose my job quick if illegal drugs are found in my system.

True, if he knew he was riding dirty, he prolly shouldn't have been speeding. Everyone knows, if you ride dirty, dont speed, make sure all your lights work and obey all traffic laws.... lowers the chance of getting pulled over.

I think he jeopardized it by both actions.  Fringe players are often cut for rather small missteps....and a drug incident COULD impact his status here.

I'm curious if those posturing the loudest about the morality of marijuana usage also think it's a good time to get hammered drunk in public on a regular basis?
