dolfanmark said:Sorry. Guys like Boston are more trouble than they are worth. In the 1 year that we had Boston on the team, he managed to get injured, get suspended for violating the league's banned substance policy, and get arrested for assault.
Boston has long been suspected of steroid use, ever since he put on 35 pounds of muscle after his college career. He defended himself against these accusations by talking about how strict he was about what he would put into hsi body. Then, he got arrested for driving under the influence of cocaine and marijuana, and had 2 bags of cocaine in the backseat. Does that sound like a guy who cares about what he puts into his body? And this is a guy who got traded by San Diego because of repeated run-ins with his coach. And he's torn the patella tendon in each knee in 2 of the last 3 years.
As a Dolphins' fan, how can you count on this guy to do anything for the team?
Again. Had we signed him to a 7 year $50 million contract, I think most people would agree with you. But we will likely offer him a one year deal at close to the minimum. If he fails, what did we lose?
