Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland was arrested on Tuesday in South Carolina, as Joshua Needelman of the Post and Courier reports. Breeland’s charges include: resisting arrest, possession of an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle, marijuana possession, and driving without a license. Meanwhile, Breeland maintains his innocence and his attorneys say the police used excessive force during the arrest (via Twitter).

Breeland recently re-upped with the Chiefs on a one-year, $4.5MM deal, returning him to the defending champs. He’s still only 28, so it’s an excellent platform opportunity for the cornerback if he can build off of last year’s momentum. In 2019, Breeland notched 48 stops, eight passes defended, and a pair of interceptions in the 2019 regular season. He also came away with an interception in KC’s Super Bowl victory to cap his year in style.
Even before the arrest, Breeland was facing a four-game suspension for a separate substance abuse violation, as Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets. Breeland is currently in the process of appealing that ban.
Before joining Kansas City in 2019, Breeland had an unusual 2018 in the football world. After signing a three-year, $24MM deal ($11MM guaranteed) with the Panthers, his contract was nixed due to an infected foot. Then, he waited until late September until he finally found a home with the Packers. That didn’t go according to plan either – Breeland was limited by a hamstring injury and played in only seven games.
In other Chiefs news, the team recently restructured Laurent Duvernay-Tardif‘s deal to carve out additional cap room. The guard’s cooperation was sorely needed – the Chiefs had precious little cap room heading into the draft, even after revising Sammy Watkins‘ contract for the 2020 season.
So basically Breeland got a little carried away celebrating the Chiefs selection of Thakarius Keyes with the 237th pick.
Haha
Sounds about right
What is that supposed to mean?
NFL players usually do stupid things like this during the off season- alcohol, weed, and/or car are usually involved. There is usually at least one idiot every off season who goes on a bender and gets himself busted. Breeland decided to draw the short stick this year.
1? You mean like one or two from every team right
Surprises me their was not a gun too.
Nailed the “too”, or the mark with the “their” though. Tough one.
Looks like you bit the bullet there trying to correct the grammar.
Unless you meant to say “or the mark…”
My favorite part of the internet: grammar Nazis who use incorrect grammar.
Second time today I’ve noticed a word in a comment that the censors usually flag. Rather interesting.
Yeah someone said sh%*%t earlier and I was like woooooohhh
I hope they don’t let everything slide…I rather enjoy the challenge of being creative.
Also having the comma after the end quote. Ha. Wasn’t a strong transition to warrant the comma in the first place. Possibly better off with two separate sentences next time.
Without merit?? He is “ without common sense”.
Young man doing stupid young man things. Hopefully he learns and grows, and thankfully nobody got hurt.
This is drastically different than Hill.
Agreed. It’s not like he stormed into Mayberry NC and went gunning for Andy Taylor & Barney Fife.
Indeed, Halo.
Especially since it’s been proven over time that Hill never did injure either his baby mama nor his son (who he joyously was with during the SB aftergame celebration). Keep Tyreek Hill’s name out of your mouth in the future when seeking ways to tear down both the Chiefs and Hill. The guy hasn’t been anything but a respected human being while a KC Chief.
How hard is it to get an Uber?
The chiefs are the new cowboys. Although because it’s the chiefs they’re not suspended
He can’t drink & smoke at home? Where the bleep is going or coming from during quarantine?
I’d lose my job for the weed. In the NFL that’s the least of their worries.Managements doing a dance he wasn’t beating women or flashing a gun around. I am suprised there wasn’t a gun involved. Not suprised at all that they claim the cops did something wrong…..I wish i could use that special card.
My personal favorite is when some moron gets nailed for carrying a handgun into a airport—that should be a automatic execution for being sooooooooooooo stupid. Or at least a couple smacks with a tack hammer to the forehead—or sterilization. Didn’t Barry Switzer do that years back??
Stay healthy everyone!!!
How do you “maintain your innocence” on whether or not you have a driver’s license?
TMZ released the footage of the arrest. If that’s excessive force then any arrest is excessive. The cop tried to handcuff him but Breeland kept waiving his left hand in the air to motion someone off camera to come help. Then he hopped in his truck and the cop had to pull his sidearm out. Nothing about the arrest was excessive. The video starts after the cop is already talking to Breeland so there’s no telling if there actually was probable cause, but to call the incident excessive is a pretty weak case for the defense.
This monumental moron doesn’t have a valid driver’s license – he should not even have ever been out on the road driving around. If he had an accident, likely any insurance he had would not have paid off for damages or injuries to anyone. I bet he doesn’t have valid insurance either.
Those behaviors indicate how little he thinks about other people and how entitled he feels he is in relation to everyone else.
