White-Collar Crime Is Apparently Not Enough To Halt An NFL Career

After pleading guilty to federal charges of insider trading, linebacker Mychal Kendricks will be sentenced in January of next year. That doesn’t mean he can’t still continue his side hustle as a pro football player, though.

This comes weeks after the Cleveland Browns released the 27-year-old the same day he was officially charged.

Meanwhile, there are a few openings at safety around the league due to injuries, but Eric Reid hasn’t been able to get a whiff since he tried to get a workout with the Titans in August. The keyword is “tried,” because his flight kept getting delayed on his way to Tennessee, so the team instead signed safeties Kenny Vaccaro and Jason Thompson.
