Chiefs cut Isaiah Buggs after domestic violence, animal cruelty arrests
NY Post
The Chiefs have parted ways with defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs following a series of troubling incidents this offseason.
The team on Monday announced it was cutting Buggs — whom they signed to a futures contract in February — roughly one week after he was arrested and charged with domestic violence/burglary.
Two weeks before that incident — in which Buggs allegedly dragged Yamya Johnson, the mother of his child, down the stairs of her apartment — the 27-year-old turned himself in to Alabama police on May 30 following misdemeanor warrants regarding animal cruelty.
Two dogs were found on the back porch of a home Buggs was renting without access to food and water, according to court documents.
Buggs’ agent, Trey Robinson, denied any wrongdoing by the former sixth-round draft pick and that the animals were not his.
“Under no circumstances does Mr. Buggs condone the mistreatment of any animal,” Robinson said, per NFL.com.
The irony of tanking is it doesn’t work. Sure, there are a few exceptions in the lottery era, most notably involving Gregg Popovich, whose long-term damage to the NBA includes being the Godfather of tanking, load management and condescension toward the media. But if you look at the recent history of champions and finalists, the best path to ultimate success is smart drafting and smart trading, not losing for a better draft position.
