Running back Quinshon Judkins, a second-round pick in April, has been arrested in Florida.

Via the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, Judkins is being held for the following charges: “Touch or strike/battery/domestic violence.”

We became aware of the situation via a tweet from Zac Jackson of TheAthletic.com.

What a dummy.   Oh my soul.  J Fords stock is going up.

Report says "1500 block of W Cypress Creek Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL"  - looks like a huge strip center, so there could be video but who knows.

Faces a 6 game suspension at min if found guilty.  I'm guessing he's currently negotiating a cash settlement with the victim.  Goodell isn't gonna suspend him without a guilty verdict, unless there's video.

Odds are the victim won't cooperate, charges dropped, no suspension.  Still, way to go Browns.

or minimal suspension.

if there is a video from the mall, the league could conceivably suspend him anyways.

either way.  you dont want to be suspended during your rookie season.  thats the time when you learn the most.   not a good start.

The idiot doesn't even have a contract yet so he can't pay her off to drop all charges. This loser just solidified that he will be a complete bust. The Browns sure can pick 'em.

Maybe - but these days with all of the NIL payments a lot of the college stars have plenty of money.  There used to be a prevailing school of thought in the NFL to not sign rookie contracts until just before camp becuase giving a young kid a lot of money and a whole summer of idle time was just asking for trouble.

Unfortunately he's a millionaire from his NIL money. Still an idiot though 

[TBayXXXVII 2,546]

From what I've read, Judkins made $1.1M in NIL money.  It's not chump change, but it's not as much as you'd think.  After taxes and other bs fees (agent/whatever), what's he seeing, $400k over 3 years.  Again, it's good money, but it's not actual wealth.  That aside, I'll hold judgement.  When it comes to athletes and celebrities, I give them a little more latitude in these areas because I think they're targets for certain women.  I believe the young man isn't married, so if it's "domestic violence", I can see a scenario where a girlfriend getting upset that her gravy train might be pulling out of the station and possibly be using this as a way to keep him.

Agreed. Even if he's innocent, still shows bad judgement hanging with scum. Shockingly the arrest occurred at 9 am. Who has domestic violence at that hour? Wouldn't think he or the "victim" were drinking that early. 

[weepaws 3,193]

I read that the arrest happen after she reported it the next day.

I don't know if it definitively shows bad judgement.  It could be that he realized that the woman he was dating wasn't who he thought she was.  I'd say he would be more naïve, if this is the case.  As you point out, the 9 am thing is a key part of why I'm waiting to make a call one way or the other.

Quote

Based on the report, as posted by NFL Media, the alleged victim contends that, five days earlier, Judkins “punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist,” and that he later “struck her additional times in the left arm and thigh.”

She told police that she didn’t call 911 because she didn’t want to hurt his career. She decided to make the report on July 12 “after speaking with family & friends and coming to the realization something needed to be done.”

Per the police report, the alleged victim “still had visible bruising on her chin area” on July 12. She had a photograph from July 8, in which (per the report) the “bruising was clearly evident.”

Translation-you need to get compensated for taking a shot to the chin from a famous/wealthy athlete.

It's sounding more and more like a money grab.

This explains the unusual 9 am arrest.  The pimp hand is always strongest just after midnight.

Bruised on (at the latest) 7/8, and don't report it until 7/12??

 

As Better Bachelor / Joker's button on YT goes, "Hold up .. wait a minute .. somthin' just ain't right.."

Attorney and/or family member got a hold of her and put dollar signs in her eyes.

If he did it, can you blame her?

Of course not. But he could be the victim,  who knows?

She could be just as bad, if not worse, but in any case, this sort of thing is so common with athletes now, at best he's victim of his own ignorance. I guess we were all young once though, some learn the hard way

True. It sounds fishy but Police did say that bruising is consistent with her statement. So thats probably not good for Judkins. I imagine that he's pretty lawyered up by now.

he would have been lawyered up before the media knew about it I'm pretty sure.    Pretty sure his agent got involved real quick to make sure his client stayed as clean as possible.    if he doesnt get paid the agent doesnt get paid and I'm sure that the agent is earning his salary with this kid.

as for the 9AM thing.   I have a family member who used to drink.  he was fine while drinking but when he stopped drinking he would get very moody and sometimes downright nasty.   for some it happens when they are drinking.  for others they get nasty just as the hangover is about to kick in.     if they partied til the sun comes up (not unheard of at that age) 9AM sounds like exactly the time when this sort of incident would occur.

I am not saying thats the way it went down, all I'm saying is 9AM isnt as unreasonable a time for this as you would think.

Quote

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that Judkins, who has not yet signed, will not report to training camp on Friday.

And while the obvious barrier could be regarded as the effort to get a fully-guaranteed contract as the fourth pick in round two. But it’s about more than how much of the contract will be fully guaranteed.

“He’s focusing more on his legal matter right now and so are the Browns,” Cabot said.

Jerome Ford/Dylan Sampson moving on up the draft board.

Information I like to hear.  Makes him a better option in my keeper league for a future investment.
