Eagles Ikegwuonu plea deal, NULL AND VOID!

IKEGWUONU RESOLVES CRIMINAL CHARGES
April 24, 2008, 5:53 p.m.

In addition to a serious knee injury suffered in January, Wisconsin cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu also has been facing felony and misdemeanor charges arising from the alleged entry into an apartment and theft of a video game system.

But now Ikegwuonu has one less thing to worry about. According to a source close to the situation, Ikegwuon9 has pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor criminal trespass charge. The felony charge of residential burglary will be dismissed.

Ikegwuon9 will be placed on probation for 24 months, and he is required to perform 50 hours of community service. He also has travel restrictions, but will be able to move from state to state in connection with his coming NFL job.

It's a prudent move for Ikegwuonu, since it removes the stigma of the pending criminal charges as teams prepare to consider drafting him. We're told that multiple teams have been strongly suggesting the Ikegwuonu do what he can to resolve the charges.

Also, it's likely that Ikegwuonu's plea won't result in scrutiny under the league's Personal Conduct Policy, since the plea predates his entry into the NFL via the draft.

read the article shoe and check out the link, the Wisconsin tv report is from 10pm last night, his brother turned it down.

wasnt gone yet

Even if his brother changes his mind at some point in the future, it was critical for Ikegwuonu to get the deal done before he officially joined the NFL. As to any guilty pleas entered or convictions imposed moving forward, Ikegwuonu will most likely face potential penalties under the league's Personal Conduct Policy.

This could force Ikegwuonu to take his chances by going to trial. The only problem is that he faces one felony count, and a conviction might disrupt not only his football career but also his freedom.

but ,,yeah
it may become an issue ... just not yet.

well its obviously an issue now if the deal is dead, even if he is out for most of this season.

well ..it will PROBABLY play-out somehting like this:

he will sign a minimum rookie contract,get some $$$,hire a good lawyer.
be put on the IR or PUP list for 2008,then the Eagles will deal with him in 2009.

you agree ?

yea its the only option the team has with him not being able to play.. id try and give a pacman deal thou to start, $0 signing bonus.

exactly ...

I don't think the Eagles planned on him for 2008,so it probably wont mean much to the Birds.
right now..anyway.

he has 2nd round talent and is a steal, excited to see what he can do in two seasons.

oh yea definitely a steal in that spot. just have to wait and see if he sees the field

if you think your tracking down info on your computer the eagles dont already have your slow this guy was goin in the first round before the charges and and injury the eagles are aware of this they have no intention of him seeing the field this year he has got alot of of talent and will work with our amazing corners all season and by the time next season rolls around well have something nice for such a late pick and he stole a freaking xbox or borrowed it whatever you wanna call it he wont get in any trouble

tracking down info they didnt already know? nah, just posting something a lot of people didnt know. most thought he had a plea bargain all set up and its behind him. just showing them its not fully behind him yet. thats all.

Let's see even if this kid does anything for the team........

Great draft pic. The media just looks for stuff to talk about. He was in college everyone does stupid little stuff in college. When your making money everything changes.

yeah the NFL guys like him we will see what he's got
