Arizona coach Steve Wilks confirmed what the team’s statement said Monday about Christian Kirk‘s arrest: The Cardinals knew about the receiver’s arrest Chris Ivory Jersey , conducted their own investigation and felt comfortable enough with what they found to draft Kirk in the second round.
“Well, I鈥檓 not going to go indulge in what he told us, but I will say this, we knew about it Deonte Thompson Jersey ,” Wilks said Tuesday, via Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. “We did our own independent research on it, and we felt very good about the information that we received and that鈥檚 why we moved forward in really drafting him. As I stated before, we want to bring in great character guys Colton Schmidt Jersey , and I think Christian is one of those guys. I think the situation is going to resolve itself here in a couple of months. And with it still being an on-going legal issue, I鈥檓 not going to go into it any further than that.鈥?/p>
Kirk was arrested in February, charged with damaging property and disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior for throwing rocks at cars outside the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Five of the seven players drafted at the bottom of the first round don’t have contracts. And one of the two contracts negotiated in that window may be one of the reasons for that.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the deal signed by Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has become an issue regarding the negotiations involving other players taken with the final selections in round one.
The issue isn’t the total value of the deal but the amount of the guaranteed compensation in year four. The three players taken from picks 23 through 25 (Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley Quandre Diggs Jersey , the 26th pick, is unsigned) realized double-digit percentage increases in the amount of the guaranteed pay for the fourth season, in comparison to last year’s picks No. 23 through 25. Penny, however Demarcus Lawrence Jersey , had his percentage of guaranteed pay shrink by 0.37 percent.
As the source explained it, that discrepancy has become an impediment for at least one of the players taken after Penny. While it’s still unlikely that holdouts will result for any of the players taken late in the first round, someone will need to blink regarding the issue of guarantees in 2021 before that will happen.
