JJ Arrington Has Been Arrested

by cgolden on Jun 18, 2008 11:06 AM MDT in General Arizona Cardinals News

The details are still pretty sketchy but JJ Arrington has been arrested in his home state of North Carolina overnight and is charged with disorderly conduct. He was reportedly involved in a fight at the D & I Event Center and a total of five people were arrested in the altercation. He's currently being held in the Nash County Jail.

As more news becomes available I'm continue to update. Players being arrested has always been bad news but in the 'new NFL' with Commissioner Goodell ruling with an iron fist, Arrington could be facing a short suspension.

Update: According to AZ Republic, a spokesperson for the Cardinals confirmed that they are aware of the situation and were seeking further details. The only other news that we know now that we didn't know this morning was that an undercover officer is the one who called police to the scene about 1:30 in the morning.

Undercover Cop???

There sounds like might be more going on than a random fight if there were undercover police in the vicinity.
If he does get suspended it could really be time to cut him loose. He has been an extremely poor 2nd round pick. His production has been non existent.
I’ve often wondered why he is still around.

JJ

Yea this could really hurt his chances of making the team. I’ve thought the entire offseason that either him or Shipp would go and Shipp might have just made the decision that much easier for the coaching staff.

RB

We really are weak at the backup rb spot – if Edge goes down with injury where would we be?
I mean JJ, Shipp and the unknown prospect of Hightower ain’t gonna leave too many opposing defensive co-ordinators with sleepless nights!

Out with Denny's Garbage

Its time for the rest of Denny Green’s garbage to be thrown out. JJ should have never been the pick and it has shown constantly. As you can see, Whiz and staff have an eye for talent (except for Terrence Holt) are good at finding gems, i.e. Fast Willie Parker. Let’s see what the kid, Hightower, can do.
