Multiple news outlets on twitter reporting...

Hate to hear this...

For everyone involved...
Ditto ... unfortunate situation. Going to make his run at the NFL a bit challenging unfortunately as well with their policy on DV.

His career has been over. Sad ending to a promising start..
Agreed, but at his age (26) there was still a chance a team (desperate team) could call and give him short term work. If this charge sticks, it would be the proverbial nail in the coffin. DV is one of the hottest and most sensitive issues in the NFL right now. Even if in a bind, no team is going to give him a shot with a DV charge on his record. He's done in the NFL.

I hope Trent has invested well. Anybody know if he got his degree? At 26, he still has a chance to get it together ( teaching? Coaching? ) albeit off the field as a player.

I think in an interview during one of his "second chance" stops he admitted that he pretty much had squandered the money from his rookie contract. So any money he does have would have to be from the short term deals he's signed after the Browns.

That`s what I was afraid of.

As Buzzard said Trent made a lot of bad financial decisions. He's broke. He assuredly could have worked in some capacity with UA football before this charge. That may not happen now..

I would strongly suspect that Trent may be at a pivot point in his life. I would also hazard a guess that the person who may be able to provide the best council to Trent at this point may well be CNS. It may be in Trent`s best interest, when he`s able, to call his coach and take a trip to Tuscaloosa for some heart to heart. I don`t personally know Coach Saban, but I just bet he`d be more than willing to sit down with Trent and talk about Trent`s future. Of course, it would be up to Trent to take his advice...or not.

I'm pretty sure that's been tried already. Trent's been to Tuscaloosa multiple times to work out, get in shape and receive council. As you implicated he hasn't taken the advice to heart and it shows in all phases..

Three thoughts:

1. Agree w/pretty much everything posted.
2. I think it has to be considered that once tried "failed" the first time - a debatable assertion - he was toast. It's just too hard at that position with talented, serviceable young bucks coming out every year.
3. For those of you who follow Birmingham news, when I saw where he was arrested, I was worried there were other charges at hand, but apparently, no.

The article said she had scratches and bruises to her face. So it is possible she attacked him and he was just pushing her away.

That being said, image is everything and it certainly won't look good on his resume if he is trying to get a job next fall. I mean, if you are an owner, do you want to open the paper and see "Team X signs former Heisman winner that has been a big flop who just got arrested for hitting a woman", along with all the editorials about domestic violence? Christine Brennan probably already has an article ready to go whenever a team signs someone like him.
