One of the Raiders’ many offseason acquisitions at cornerback doesn’t stand to be available in September.
Daryl Worley is facing a four-game suspension stemming from his offseason arrest, ESPN.com’s Josina Anderson reports (on Twitter). He pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, resisting arrest and carrying firearms in public. He’s been on three teams this offseason.
Worley’s suspension may explain why the Raiders, who obviously have not been shy about diving into free agency this year, added Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie earlier this month. Worley and DRC join Shareece Wright, Leon Hall and Rashaan Melvin as corners Oakland added in free agency. Not all are a lock to make the 53-man roster, and Worley’s status may not be secure, but the Raiders’ corner corps will look vastly different this season.
A 2016 Panthers third-round pick, Worley was sent to the Eagles in exchange for Torrey Smith but waived after the arrest in April. He started 25 games with Carolina during his two seasons there.
Is it too late to name this the National Felon League? Nobody watches this idiotic band of criminals and flag kneelers anymore. NFL sucks.
But yet your reading articles about it and annoyed enough to comment?
This will get reduced to 3 game
If he gets a Texas judge the firearms charge will be dropped since everyone in that state is expected to carry.
