Sports.Yahoo.com: Will Aldon Smith get another chance in the NFL? It’s unclear right now
The news about Aldon Smith released by San Francisco came hardly a surprise for those who follow NFL gambling facts. Smith registered five of the 49ers’ 12 arrests in the last three years. He also refused to claim responsibility for his troubles. It seems that though he might be an amazingly talented young player, he is unfortunately not capable of pulling his life together.
He also denied that he made a mistake on Thursday after his latest arrest came. And speaking with the team, he denied that he was responsible for his off the field problems. Maybe this was what got Aldon Smith released by the 49ers. He had had his chances, yet failed to improve his behavior or to ask for help. The franchise did what they had to do.
New 49ers coach Jim Tonsula insisted that he and the organization will be there to help Smith. But first of all, Smith has to acknowledge that he needs help. Without doing that and working for his life to be fixed, there is no way back to the NFL. Aldon Smith released by the 49ers – out of the NFL for good, perhaps.
