It's bad enough that this team has a history of problems with drug use at wr with an unfortunately long list of names going all the way back to jimmy smith. It's unfortunate that this happened so soon on the cusp of the Blackmon debacle.

It's unfortunate that this happened to a young man just starting out in his professional career.

It's depressing that with so much optimism at the start of a new season that this is the first thing that comes down the pike... 

 

However... this is a grown man and responsible for his actions and the consequences of them. He was warned once by the NFL and didn't heed the warning. Ace Sanders may be a fairly nice guy, but being a 'nice guy' isn't what keeps you on the roster. Ace had at best only an average rookie showing last season. He isn't even at the same level as Shorts, and Shorts wasn't much to write home about last season. All he was going to be this year was a punt returner and wr back-up... maybe. But with this event, his stock just doesn't look like it's really worth the trouble to keep. Someone at his level of play is easily replaced. 

 

I'm tired of starting each season with the news of one of ours being: A. busted for drugs. B. seriously injured in a bar fight. C. holding out for more money and stiffing the team and fans when their already being paid millions to play a kids game.
