It looks suspicious, sure, but ...
1. I've met people who carry around a couple hundred grand ... high stakes poker players, for example. In my experience an awful lot of even small/medium stake regular players like to carry a large diameter roll of Franklins. I only play for far lower stakes, but even if you want to play a medium stakes $50/$100 NLHE game you're looking at a buy-in of, what, about $10K plus at least an equal amount for rebuys?
IMO, any non-pro (and many pros) who play those stakes, much less the higher ones, is likely to be a loon. But it's his money.
2. People who don't trust banks for another. I have an inlaw who keeps 80K or more as a running balance in a no-interest checking account; and there are people who walk around with a similar amount of bills because they think the banks are Illuminati or whatever. And these are *not* people who have ever had anything approaching a pro football player's cash flow.
3. And, frankly, if I were in one of those two groups, I'd probably have a gun in the car, too.
4. A pound of weed is a lot (and I have no idea what the going street rate is, since I was younger than Rock the last time I had occasion to consider purchasing). But I've known a number of non-dealers who always preferred buying a big bunch at once rather than a dime bag here and a lid there.
Heck I can virtually guarantee that there are students on this campus (or any other) that have that much weed in their closet right now. And they've never sold a single leaf..
5. IIRC, Nate Newton, for example, had far more than a mere pound of weed in his trunk.
I expect the dudes's done with the Packers. And I expect he's going to spend a lot of time getting to know the ins and out of the legal system over the next few years.
But I have far too little information to justify any sort of conclusion that he's a big dealer or anything else that said prosecutorial and police types and tools like Florio might want us to think.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
