Claude Wroten suspended

St Louis Rams' defensive tackle Claude Wroten has been suspended for a year, due to a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.

Wroten was a standout player at LSU and was widely regarded as having first-round potential but slid to the third round in the 2006 Draft due to stories concerning his use of recreational drugs. Wroten was suspended for four games in 2007 on similar grounds and this latest incident must surely signal the end of his NFL career.

It's just sad to see players with talent throwing it all away for the most stupid of reasons.

*sigh* I hope Dorsey does well, I don't want LSU to be known for having so many D-Line busts.

Once you can almost understand as these are young guys whose friends are 'all doing it' but with Goodell in charge and your job clearly on the line it is just incredibly stupid to reoffend

Well there goes one of sleeper teams for 2008. Who replaces him.

[MMONTERO]

For all the money he just lost, it had better have been some good sh*t!

He was unlikely to start much in 2008, anyway. It's going to be Carriker and either Glover or Ryan for the Rams at DT this year. Victor Adeyanju could be moved inside from DE, too.

Yeah, I didn't think he'd start either, but this kills their rotation.
