(AP) -- Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens was accused of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana after police stopped his car in downtown Scottsdale early Tuesday. A Scottsdale patrol officer noticed the car traveling erratically and made the stop about 2:15 a.m. Stevens, an unrestricted free agent after five seasons with Seattle, told the officer he had "four of five margaritas" at Salty Seniorita, a downtown Scottsdale bar. According to the police report, the officer smelled alcohol and noticed Stevens' eyes were "bloodshot and watery and half-closed. Spoke with slow, slurred speech." As he got out of the vehicle, the report said, Stevens "dropped his cell phone and wallet on the ground, bent down to pick them up, then stutter-stepped to walk" toward the officer. ]A second officer arrived and began a field sobriety test, but after Stevens "almost fell down" during the "walk-and-turn" test, the player declined to participate in any further testing. Police said they found a "leafy green substance" believed to be marijuana in Stevens' pocket. Stevens refused a breathalyzer test and declined to give a blood sample until police obtained a warrant about 5 a.m., the report said. Stevens was booked and posted bail and an initial court appearance was set for April 2. The blood test results haven't yet been released. Stevens has had other run-ins with the law. In June 2003, he pleaded guilty to reckless driving in a plea deal after being stopped in the Seattle suburb of Medina on investigation of drunken driving. He got a two-day jail sentence for that offense. He received another five days in jail for violating his probation after he drove into a nursing home in 2000 in a hit-and-run case. Stevens was a student at Washington at the time of that incident. The 6-foot-7, 265-pound player was a first-round draft pick by the Seahawks, the 28th selection overall, in 2002. He had a career-best 45 catches for 554 yards, a record for Seattle tight ends, in the Seahawks' 2005 Super Bowl season. Last season, Stevens caught 22 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns.

Sperm Edwards Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 yup there goes his decent sized pay check... lol. You'd think these guys' agents would say to them: "STAY OUT OF TROUBLE FOR 3 MONTHS IF YOU WANT TO GET PAID. If you're drinking, call a limo or even a taxicab. Do not go to a shady nightclub. Do not buy or transport your own drugs. Do not drive with drugs in your car. Do not keep a gun in your house. Do not pick up prostitues. Follow these rules and you will be set financially for the rest of your life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Exactly. These players are idiots. They don't deserve all this money and fame. They should start a new league with people like us. You have to be really short or really tall and fat. No one can run under a 6 second 40. Can't bench over 175 pounds. Drop at least 1 out of every 3 balls thrown to you. And trip over your own feet at least once per quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Some of these guys do not know how to handle the money they have gotten thrown at them- maybe the owners will start to wise up and not shell out the big bucks to some of these guys- Probably not.

It's probably worth it when you consider the amount of change Stevens agent just lost because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Why? Ask Jayson Williams. I'd tell you to ask Fred Lane but you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 If Stevens goes to jail for this, if even for a few days, will he have to switch to wide receiver? If so what is the salary difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
