Extra 1st round draft pick for the Patriots* for their impending loss.

I wonder if we can expect a similar consequence for Ta'amu.

But Belichick instills too much discipline in that team for something like this to happen! :rolleyes:

He wont get sentenced to anything close to 6 years. If he's a first time offender it wouldn't surprise me if he gets less than a year of actual jail time, if even that. My guess 6 months to be served after next season, with x amount of community service, anger management and a lenghty probation. Don't be surprised if he plays all of this coming season.

oops... well if Donte Stallworth gets a 30 day sentence and serves 24 for manslaughter this should be a weekend for the kid

Dennard’s crime usually carries a sentence of six months or less

The bad news for Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard is that he could be sentenced to up to six years in prison after he was convicted of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest. The good news is that other people convicted of the same crimes typically get much shorter sentences than that.

Dennard’s prosecutor, Lancaster County Attorney Joe Kelly, told the Omaha World-Herald that defendants who are found guilty of third-degree assault of an officer typically get sentences ranging from probation to up to 180 days in jail.

So if Dennard gets a typical sentence when he next appears before a judge on April 11, even if it’s on the high end of the typical sentence, he would be available for most of the regular season. At least, he would be if the NFL doesn’t suspend him: The NFL says it is still reviewing Dennard’s case and could suspend him under the league’s personal-conduct policy, even though Dennard committed the assault before he became an NFL player.

The prosecutor’s office said it will not recommend a specific sentence to the judge, while Dennard’s lawyer said he will work hard to convince the judge not to go too hard on his client.
