In the days before he reportedly checked himself into an Arizona psychiatric facility, Richie Incognito was calling some friends at odd hours, apparently after drinking, and leaving messages about being followed by NFL and government investigators.
He complained that his agent, California-based David Dunn, was actually a “double agent” helping the NFL end his career and adding he was going to “track Dunn down and fire him face-to-face.”
And then this from one associate who talked to Incognito before the former Dolphins offensive lineman apparently took a baseball bat to his own $295,000 Ferrari FF:
“He’s in Arizona now and all he does is work out during the day and get drunk every night. The way things have been going lately, I keep expecting to hear the worst.
“You media guys talk about where he’s going to be playing next season. I wonder if he’s going to be alive next season.”

He later apologized, although not directly, to the NFL and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
And privately, Incognito is said to have been rocked by the report and the public’s negative reaction to him following the report.
The day the Wells report was released, many of Incognito’s approximately 90,000 Twitter followers began attacking him as a racist, a bully, and other things not suitable for publication.
One person encouraged Incognito to “die [expletive].”
“Please stop the hate,” Incognito replied. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
