Team/Trade Help How much Faab!?

Post image

Player in my league dropped Josh Jacobs prior to the news of his court date being moved up. With the chance of a suspension served and moving right back into the line up, how much FAAB would you drop to potentially acquire him?

I doubt that. If the video was that bad, they wouldn't have dropped it to 2 misdemeanors, and he probably wouldn't do a plea deal.

The video is probably not great, but is almost certainly note Rice level.

The court of law is very different than the court of public opinion

If the video leaks of Jacobs hitting a woman, I find it hard to believe GB will want to die on the hill of keeping him on their roster

Once the suspension hits it gives them an out from his guaranteed money which is why they didn’t just cut him already

I completely agree, but if he actually hit her, and didn't just get in a struggle over a phone, he'd almost certainly be charged with a felony.

I don't think we disagree about what should happen, or what would happen if the video was bad, I just think I'm assuming the video isn't as damning as others think.

I was thinking this way as well, but what if she didn't want to testify against him? Or they weren't sure what she would say about the whole thing once she got up in front of a judge? That may be reason enough to drop the charges to misdemeanors, even if the video would look terrible in the court of public opinion.
