By NFL rules, I would be guilty of using PED's. He popped for Adderall which many have in the past. It's not like you can get that over the counter so there has to be a valid medical reason for getting the prescription. Not defending Dion, just pointing out that the NFL policy is silly.
If you are curious what I would pop for, it's the blood thinner I take since my heart attack to keep the stint from clogging.
In this case he had a previous exemption for it, which is something that a lot of Seahawks players have gotten in the past. The problem being that the exemption period had lapsed without renewal.
Frankly, I really do not give a crap anymore if pro athletes use steroids or testosterone since doctors already routinely prescribe them after an injury. The league doesn't really care about the pain killer problem if you're injured so there's quite a bit of double-speak about player safety and all that other garbage they spew in the nfl to say nothing of the massive CTE problem and its affect on youth athletes.
That Matuszak Diet of Vodka and Valium is still league approved!

I only just realized this, but Tony Washington Jr is out of the league (he bounced around some practice squads for a few years), and is now an assistant defensive coach at Nebraska.

Sounds like Kiko will be looking for a new team very soon.

The Titans and Marcus are slowly sucking the life out of us...but last night I watched the undefeated 49ers go to 4-0, destroying Cleveland, led by their defensive line, of which half is Arik Armstead & DeForest Buckner!

Darron Thomas in the draft pool for the XFL.
So far Darron Thomas, Alex Balducci, Erick Dargan, Christian French, Josh Kaddu, Tanner Carew are entered. Will be interesting to see how much the "star" players may end up closer to their alma mater like DT being drafted by the Seattle Dragons. Of course, I also noticed Keith Price from u-duh is also in the draft too.

Re: Ex-Ducks NFL Status
I haven't thought about Balducci or Christian French in a good while. French was such an athlete. Was too bad that he was injured so long and only had one season to put it together.
