Art Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Signing Foster was a great move when we made it purely from a football perspective. It's a young player with zero cap consequence with significant upside at a SEVERE position of need. If the domestic violence charge had merit we lose nothing by controlling his rights through a waiver claim. And if, as was always likely the case, the charge amounted to nothing, you have a guy who was an elite college player who has the sort of upside to get excited about at that position. While there was a PR hit based on the woke media about daring to sign a guy with ZERO football downside, the fact is, we're a football team. That said, and similar to Payne, he's NOT IDEAL in a 3-4. I think he'd be masterful as a WILL backer in a 4-3. I think Payne and Allen would be outstanding as 4-3 tackles. I think our personnel so well aligns with a 4-3 I am going to BEG for someone to make that happen :). Like Payne, though, where I think Payne is not ideal as a 3-4 nose, he CAN play there and Foster CAN play inside in the 3-4. I'm just a bit worried about continuing to have personnel that would seemingly fit perfectly a system like the 4-3 yet we continue to run a 3-4.

But doesnt matter...in the eyes of the law, hes not guilty... You may not feel he's vindicated, but all.of us that told the ****ers and complainers to STFU and let it play out...we are vindicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely to get arrested for the same thing before the season starts. And no, I don't think he'll wise up and figure this out. Now he's even more entitled and will expect that he can get away with just about anything. If he did it, sure. If he didn't, and the woman is just cray, then, we've little to worry about though, right? I mean his feeling of being entitled may stem from not having done anything with this woman admitting to making stuff up to hurt him. Same thing happened to Elliott. Hunt's situation is harder in that there's video, though that is less jarring than what Rice did to his woman. At the end of the day either Foster is a guy who likes to hit on the women and that will burn him in the future OR he's not. The fact he clearly remains in touch with the crazy woman is probably a sign he is crazy too, so that's likely a bad future sign, but, he's young and may realize there's no more money in the NFL if he doesn't keep himself on the straight and narrow.

skinsmania123 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Is this an example of winning in the offseason? I am sure Boozie will get an extension for this brilliant move. Or maybe simply cancels out the Clinton Dix move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Read on Twitter that a witness came forward with a recording of the accuser apparently had been planning to set foster up if he didn’t play her credit card bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is so, it should be played large on every media outlet that played the story at all. But, it won't be. The media would never confirm this to be true and we'll see articles suggesting Foster did this even at his Hall of Fame induction -- assuming he's great and never gets in trouble again -- by people in the media.

justice98 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Short of her on secret recording confessing to making it all up, the charges being dismissed wont make people that thought he was scum of the earth feel any differently. It'll always be some rationalization as to why he's still guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll always be some rationalization as to why he's still guilty. There was evidence of the Elliott accuser making it all up in texts provided to the cops/DA which is why Elliott was never charged. The prosecution knew she was lying. The league still suspended him CITING her story, proven as a lie, as true. And people still think he did it because the accusation was made and the media did not present the facts of the accuser's lies as vigorously as the accusation itself.

NoCalMike Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I won't pretend this isn't good news, but at the same time I am not doing a victory lap just yet. I want to see Foster get this person out of his life for good regardless of whatever did or didn't take place in the past as it seems pretty clear they had a toxic relationship in one form or another. Maybe his 'Bama boys can take him in during the offseason and mentor him, watch over him, get him excited over re-uniting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Blaster Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 58 minutes ago, Peregrine said: Cleared of charges, or charges dropped by the accusser? Because there is a massive difference between the two. So far, we dont know if A. She was paid off, B. She made it up, C. Theres some truth to it, and the NFL will still suspend him like it did with Elliot. The biggest issue though, really, is that if anyone seriously believes this is the last trouble this guy gets into, based on this past history, I've got a globulinium mine to sell you. Absolutely there is a massive difference. One being that it is impossible for an accuser to drop charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreZorn Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Made perfect sense to me at the time, only way I would have joined the mob is if it came out he did it and we continued to employ him. Extremely shrewd move if we're being real here. But 95% took it as an opportunity to raise their pitchforks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to augment this, the accuser is disappointed the charges were dropped as she wanted to proceed with the case. This according to the attorney for Ennis who just told that to ABC. Point is, she wanted it to go. The DA dismissed. There's a reason and it's NOT that she lied in the past. There's evidence they have which they believe would make it impossible to get a conviction. That's the only way it drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
