Warren Sapp

The NFL Network has already canned former defensive end Warren Sapp after he was arrested on charges of soliciting a prostitute and assault following last week’s Super Bowl in Arizona.

Josh Gordon

The troubled wideout was cracked for a DUI in July of 2014, has faced two lengthy suspensions for drug and alcohol-related offenses, and was but on blast via Twitter by escort Jenna Shea.

Ray Lewis

At one point, Ray Lewis was facing two counts of murder, but he eventually struck a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to obstruction of justice. In exchange for the lesser charge, Lewis testified against Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting in the January, 2000 deaths of Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker.

T.J. Ward

Adrian Peterson

Adrian Peterson pleaded guilty to reckless assault and paid a $4,000 fine after hitting his four-year-old son with a tree switch in May of 2014. The switch originally left welts and had Peterson facing charges of felony abuse.

Ray Rice

The NFL somehow missed video evidence of Ray Rice serving his then-fiancée Janay with a two-piece while the couple argued in an Atlantic City casino elevator. Rice was dropped from the Baltimore Ravens, charged with third-degree aggravated assault, and had to pay a $125 fine while receiving anger management counseling.

Chad Johnson

Aside from becoming a Pusha T punchline, Ochocinco’s head butting of his former fiancée Evelyn got him cut by the Miami Dolphins. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor domestic violence and was put on probation.

Marshawn Lynch

Long before his media boycott, Lynch had his license revoked and was subject to a $150 fine for bumping an Ontario woman with his Porchse SUV in 2008 during his tenure with the Buffalo Bills. Lynch was charged with reckless driving.

Adewale Ojomo

The Tennessee Titans waived defensive end Adewale Ojomo in April of 2014, after he was arrested on charges of soliciting a prostitute. Ojomo allegedly offered an undercover officer $100.

Donte Stallworth

In 2009, Stallworth struck and killed Mario Reyes. The wide receiver was found to have a blood-alcohol level of .126. After he pleaded guilty to DUI manslaughter, Stallworth had his license suspended for life, served a 30-day jail sentence and settled with Reyes’ family for an undisclosed sum.

Aaron Hernandez

In theory, Aaron Hernandez could be basking in the glow of being an NFL Super Bowl champ, since his former team just took the honors a week ago. But Hernandez is in a cell facing murder charges in connection with the 2013 death of Odin Lloyd.
