What would you do

[TheRealDeal]

if we drafted someone at #1, couldn't sign them due to CBA, and then pictures surfaced of them doing cocaine at a club?

Would their past be a factor in your decision?

Should we not sign them?

Should we sign them and try and change them?

[teeray]

Leverage the sh*t out of it in negotiations. But I thoight Mallett wasn't in contention at number one anymore. ;)

[Swarly]

What happens if we don't sign him? I know in baseball you get an additional(one spot past the previous years spot) pick if they are unable to sign them.

I probably wouldn't even sign them, and trade them to the Bengals where doing dumb poo like that gets you a nice contract.

[teeray]

If you don't sign him I think you lose the rights to him after one year and get zilch in return.

1,Sign them and give incentive of more cocaine ala Lawrence Taylor.

2.Rejoice in all the championships we win

[Mr. Scot]

I'd shake my head and say "aw crap".

That'd be about the extent of what I could actually do about it.

[The Saltman]

Ill take it one step further then mr. Scot and burn my panthers Polo under shirt as well.

[Pox 08]

I'd kick Mallet square in the noots.

[OchoNueve]

Not a coke guy so don't take this the wrong way, but I think I would be way more concerned that he was careless enough to do it in front of someone snapping pictures than the fact he was doing it...

That being said, you use it as leverage in contract negotiations and have more frequent drug testing as needed.

If all else fails, sign him and just hope he turns into half the player either Dan Marino or Lawrence Taylor was (rumored coke heads). You can't not sign him and allow the Bengals or another bottom feeder to give our #1 pick his "second chance" before we get our shot with him.
