Taking the Jaguars out of the equation at least for now,   in general I'm against players with character issues being added to my team.   However,   if the team has strong veteran winning leadership that believes they can keep the player from deviating from the task at hand,   I would be somewhat more comfortable with certain character issue players being added.

 

Without knowing Aldon Smith's entire background,  on the surface he doesn't seem like a high level risk in a strong veteran winning leadership locker room.   Aldon Smith's situation doesn't remind of anything like toxic Titus Young's situation.   In the latter's case,  he suckered punched Louis Delmas and in a game purposely lined up wrong.   That's the type of player that doesn't belong in an NFL locker room under any circumstance.
