The NFL reinstated Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington last month after he had been suspended for nearly three years.
Immediately after, the question began swirling: Should the Cardinals bring him back?
Fans took to social media to answer the question, and, as usual, they were all over the place.
Your take on a possible Washington return to the Cardinals (via Facebook and Twitter):
David Escobedo: “If he is in the right frame of mind, learned from the error of his ways, and is in great physical shape, then suit him up and put him to work. The Cards could use him. I wish him the best.”
Chris Berg: “Need your help young man, come back, kick ass and take names, game on”
Emily Goldsmith: “If he’s been conditionally reinstated that means he has been doing everything the NFL has asked of him….clean tests, check-ins, no arrests, etc. If he is in shape and stays clean/out of trouble (big ifs), I would love to have him back.”
Lonzo Meyer: “‘Multiple Violations’……What do you think ? How many chances can you get? Probably are some parolees that would like the opportunities he’s had and he’s failed to take advantage of…”
Steve Gardner: “This guy wont see the inside of the lockers room. He beats women, he let his teammates down countless times and the fans down. He hasnt played in three years. Way too long a list of reasons to send him down the road. He is a loser.”
Diaz Angela: “It’s a conditional reinstatement. Nothing to get excited over just yet. Let’s worry about the draft before we worry about D Wash.”
Brian Godman: “Apparently dog fighting is ok, apparently DUI’s are ok, apparently beating your lady / kids is ok. Good job NFL not like there are plenty of other well deserving talented individuals who haven’t broken the law or abused those close to them!”
Rob Filmer: “I have travelled to Arizona for 7 years monthly and only really watched and understood football in the last 40 months and have never seen him play – go lad and show me what I have missed……”
Scott Chandler Myers: “I would love for him to come back but who knows what kinda of player after 3 years off”
Sean Ryan: “That was my first thought. Is he in shape? If he could still be the player he was three years ago…. Just without the personal screw-ups? The guy is an extraordinary talented football player who is bad at life.”
Irish Danger: “Just cut the guy. Hundreds of well behaved, good guys waiting to play.”
Arnoldo Zamorano: “Wow! That was a long time! I’d almost forgotten about him. I wonder if he can still play after so much time off?”
Tom Martin: “He’ll be serviceable but nowhere near the player he was. That’s if he doesn’t relapse.”
Isaac Mercado: “Give the guy a break no one is perfect he has been doing good let him play the game”
Parker Losby: “he should not even be considered…”
Manuel Valdez: “I hope so we need a play maker like him”
