Former Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Sam Hurd reportedly pleaded guilty in federal court to trying to buy cocaine and marijuana in an attempt to setup a drug-distribution network on Thursday. Hurd, 27, faces a minimum 10-year sentence for conspiracy to possess cocaine and marijuana with an intent to distribute, according to the Dallas Morning News. Hurd's guilty plea says the former NFL wide receiver "did knowingly, intentionally and unlawfully" conspire to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana and 5 kilograms of cocaine between July 2011 and June 6, 2012. Additionally, Hurd's cousin admitted in federal court last year that he helped the former NFL player establish a cocaine-distribution network. Prosecutors have said the plot began when Hurd played for the Cowboys and continued after he began playing for the Bears. Source: Sports Network
He's supposed to be sentenced today. I heard this morning that he could be given a life sentence without parole. According to a SI story released on its Web site yesterday, Hurd said that he supplied pot to between 20-25 Cowboys during the 5 years he played for the Cowboys. JG and JJ have denied knowing anything about this. Wonder if this explains some of JJ's personnel decisions he's made over the years?:icon_smile:
