I'm sure Ted Thompson would say they're "doing their due diligence just like we do on all players" type of thing just like all other 30 franchises will say (Niners excluded, obviously)... it says a lot that he got cut. The Niners knew what a star he was and they just lost Justin Smith to retirement. Their DL is in total shambles without him yet they had to move on.

Usually, I'm first in line banging the drum for giving guys a shot here but I can't say I feel that in this particular instance.

With what they've gone through this offseason and even they're saying enough is enough I can't see why another team would take him on. Too bad, but he's done for 12 months and no reason to believe he'll change his ways.

You look at the high level and omit details of what happened

That is fine, I won't rebuttal that with rudeness, but I will disagree and maintain ... their situations are different.

Was attempting to set up sarcasm more than rudeness but I guess I struggle to hit the correct sarcastic tone online, where tone is mainly given through word choices, smiles (which I haven't notice many people use lately) and the tone in which the reader puts too it.

Anyways I think we can all agree that the likely hood that Thompson bring in any big named FAs at this point is very unlikely, especially one that could have a year suspension coming and is getting in trouble off the field.

How about he signs with Binny's Beverage Depot? "I liked what I got at Binny's so much I let it cost me a pro football career!"

Aldon Smith is a crazy liability at this point.

Million dollar talent, ten cent brain.
One mistake, you give a second chance.
After that, you have to walk away.

3: Someone the team trusts would have to vouch for his character.

4: He would have to be willing to take a Ted Thompson type deal, like Julius Peppers.

5: After all that, he would still have to make the team.

I am all for giving a guy a second chance, but not until they show they deserve one. By that I mean go through rehab and show that you understand how serious your actions are. At this point, aldon Smith clearly doesn't get it...he thinks he's the victim.

Unless he shows he's willing to turn over a new leaf and start his life again, he's only upset that it cost him his job, not that he might have killed someone.

The issue I believe with some of these folks is they think it is their right to play in the NFL when truly it is a privilege. Once the latter is learned, accepted and appreciated that is when they have matured.
