Aldon Smith asks for reinstatement. Interest?

[Hanjag]

Former 49er, and Raider Adlon Smith has been out since last playing in 2015.

59 games 47.5 sacks

He has been out 4 years but is still only 30.

Substance abuse.

I would talk to him and if this guy has turned the corner be a great redemption story and production story for that matter.

LB but is 6'5" and 255#, but what kind of shape is he in now?

[57reasons]

always compete, never hurts to look. WAS very good between the lines - recall him nearly destroying Russ on a read option keep in the opening of the NFC championship game - the greatest game in team history (SB 48 aside).

Dude was a complete lunatic. I would ensure he is at least partially sane first.

Alson Smith has done more than substance abuse

On January 28, 2012, Smith was arrested for driving under the influence in Miami Beach, Florida.[27][28]

On June 30, 2012, Smith was believed to have suffered stab wounds when attempting to break up a fight at a party at his Santa Clara county residence. Two other people were shot in the incident.[29] On October 9, 2013, Smith was charged with "three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon" relating to the stabbing incident. The charges were later reduced to misdemeanors.[30]

On September 20, 2013, Smith was involved in a single-vehicle accident in San Jose, California. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. After the loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the third week of the football season, he voluntarily entered a rehabilitation facility, to be put onto the non-football injury list with an indefinite leave of absence.[31]

On April 13, 2014, Smith was detained and arrested following an incident at the Los Angeles International Airport in which Smith became belligerent and uncooperative with a TSA agent, who alleged Smith claimed he was carrying a bomb.[32] After interviews revealed that Smith did not clearly state he was carrying a bomb, the Los Angeles City Attorney decided to drop the charges. Smith was suspended for nine games for the 2014 season.

On August 6, 2015, Smith was arrested in Santa Clara, California, for an alleged hit and run after driving under the influence, and vandalism charges.[33] He was released by the 49ers the next day as a result.[20]

On March 9, 2017, Smith was a passenger with a friend driving to Smith's house at 12:00 AM, when the San Francisco police department found out both Smith and the driver were under the influence. Even though Smith was not the driver, both Smith and his friend were detained by the San Francisco Police Department for questioning. The next day, Smith and his friend were released. No arrests were made.[34][35]

On September 23, 2017, it was announced that Smith had agreed to plead No Contest to Hit and Run in the 2015 incident in exchange for the DUI charges being dropped. He was sentenced to 20 days in jail. During his sentence, he was ordered to attend a treatment facility, and undergo anger management classes. After his release, he was disallowed from entering any bars or other establishments where alcohol is the primary commodity being sold.[36]

On March 3, 2018, someone called the police from Smith's home and reported that he had consumed multiple bottles of tequila and then bit her wrists. Smith reportedly fled the home before police arrived. San Francisco police did not comment on the specifics but did state that domestic violence of a "non-lethal" nature had occurred and they were seeking out Smith for questioning about the incident.[25]

On March 23, 2018, Smith was arrested for violation of court order, where he was ordered to stay away from a woman he assaulted earlier in the month. The woman was revealed to be Smith's fiancee. This picked up from a previous incident that occurred on March 3, where Smith pleaded not guilty on four misdemeanor counts, including domestic violence, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, false imprisonment, and vandalism.[37] On April 8, 2018, Smith was arrested for violations in conditions to his bail.[38]

On June 10, 2019, Smith was stopped by police in Mission, Kansas for a traffic violation and later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

I would file him under my Everson Griffen category. But he can rush the passer.

Exactly what I was talking about. Career criminal.

[Donn Beach]

looks like a awful lot of under the influence to me

[Oso Dorado]

Give me a "T" for trouble.

Geez fn _

I mean all that DUI stuff and he can afford a friggen cab-uber.

I kinda dismiss some poor kid pushing his luck. But repition of the DUIs combined with the violence and recency of offences = more than caution.

Mind boggling to me that wealthy celebs get DUIs. They can afford to chill in stretch limos to go to McDonalds for a Sausage McMuffin with egg in the morning.

I was in Phoenix for work... flew home on SouthWest and Albert Pujols was on my plane.

Dude makes $30 million a year and you're telling me the Angels didn't think to not let him go through an airport when corona is a thing? Insane.

Should tell you about how poorly managed these dudes are.
