Rams scout Luke Driscoll -- better known as the guy who allegedly urinated on a downtown Indianapolis building before apparently exposing himself to a female police officer -- has been charged with public nudity only and not public intoxication.
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, which spoke with Kendale Adams, the public information officer for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, the misdemeanor public nudity charge is punishable by no more than 60 days in jail* and a fine up to $500.
Driscoll, 33, was arrested at 3:20 a.m. Friday morning and spent the rest of the night in jail. He was released Saturday and went back to work at the NFL combine.
St. Louis GM Billy Devaney said the team is investigating the matter. As is, I?m sure, the NFL, which very well could apply the rules for violating its personal conduct policy to this case. Full Story
Jags re-sign QB McCown to one-year deal
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed quarterback Luke McCown to a one-year contract, giving the team an experienced backup to David Garrard.
McCown was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent.
McCown has played in 16 games, with seven starts, in seven seasons. He has completed 154 of 260 passes for 1,739 yards, with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
The 29-year-old quarterback spent time with Cleveland and Tampa Bay before joining the Jaguars via a trade in September 2009. He was a fourth-round draft pick of the Browns in 2004 and was traded to the Buccaneers in April 2005.
Raiders manage to avoid signing bonuses
ALAMEDA, Calif. -- While the Oakland Raiders have handed out some big contracts already to keep potential free agents off the open market, they won't have to start paying out on those deals until after there's a resolution to the league's labor dispute.
The Raiders have made more than $80 million in commitments to five of their players, but none of those deals include signing bonuses that need to be paid before any games are played.
The Raiders have been one of the most aggressive teams so far this offseason as most clubs wait until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached before making moves. The current CBA expires Thursday.
Oakland gave cornerback Stanford Routt a $31.5 million, three-year deal; handed defensive tackle Richard Seymour a $30 million, two-year contract with $22.5 million in guarantees; placed a $10.1 million franchise tag on linebacker Kamerion Wimbley; signed defensive tackle John Henderson to an $8 million, two-year deal and signed special teams standout and backup running back Rock Cartwright to an undisclosed contract.
Seahawks re-sign cornerback Cox
RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed reserve cornerback Kennard Cox for the 2011 season.
The Seahawks announced the signing, bringing back one of their top special teams players.
Cox appeared in 11 games last season for the Seahawks. He finished the year with seven total tackles on defense and another three on special teams. Cox also blocked Seattle's first punt in seven seasons. It was recovered for a touchdown against Kansas City.
Cox was signed by Seattle last April. He was originally a seventh-round pick by Buffalo in 2008.
