[LETHALWEAPONMV]

I googled his name to see if he had been signed yet after being released by the Niners and came across this which occurred a month ago. I had not yet heard this. Anyone else....?

A former San Francisco 49ers football player was arrested in Scottsdale on Sunday after he punched a bar security guard in the head, police said.Scottsdale police arrested Dontavia Bogan, 23, around 10 p.m. Sunday at El Hefe Tacos, 4425 N. Saddlebag Trail.The 49ers announced the release of the wide receiver on Friday, one day after Bogan was medically cleared to return to play after recovering from a knee injury.Police were called to El Hefe after calls of a fight.Security guard Correll Thomas told police that Bogan approached the rope line at the bar and attempted to enter the bar. Thomas told Bogan that he would let him in, but not to move the rope line, police said.Bogan argued with the guard and told him he had a table inside and spent thousands of dollars at the bar, according to the police report.The two began arguing and another security guard approached.

This surprises me, his NFL chances should be over.

[cmhatter]

why would he be spending thousands at a bar... hasn't even made a team yet. Niners couldn't cut him because he was hurt...

this sucks for bogan

[DELdaBull]

Wow. Talk about brain fart.

How do you spend $1000's at a taco bar?

IMO Bogan has made some questionable choices since his drafting... but that's only my opinion. I still like the guy... hope he gets another chance as I think he's got talent.

Teams cut injured players all the time...they " reach an injury settlement"...too bad for him...would like to see him get a shot somewhere

[cmhatter]

takes two for a settlement

also-- with an NFL injury settlement the two parties would agree on a lump sum value that represents the players salary that reflects recovery time. They would have had to pay him nearly the same amount regardless...

injury settlements work better when you have a larger, longer term deal and you wish to cut the player immediately...
