The New England Patriots face a potential disciplinary situation involving their newly signed wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, following a viral video of him at a boat party. Head Coach Mike Vrabel is evaluating the matter, indicating that all outcomes, including cutting Diggs, are on the table. The decision hinges on how Diggs explains the incident and the impact on the team's culture. Analysts suggest timing is crucial, especially concerning financial implications of his contract. The Patriots aim to uphold their established standards while navigating this issue with urgency.
If Mike [Vrabel] thinks he is lying to him I just wouldn't doubt Mike having the stomach to cut him. And the thing is, if you're going to cut him then you kind of have to do it right away.
They're trying to establish a culture and the way you do things, and this sort of thing can undermine all of that. So, that's what they have to weigh right now.
If you're going to say you're firing me for cause, but you waited three weeks to do it, you're not going to win that case.
So, if you're going to go after the $12 million signing bonus that he got, then they have to cut him right away which I think is part of why if you ask him to stay out of practice that's why you would do it.
