Poor life choices, NFL-style.

Gangsta'...

Hurd signed a three-year deal on July 30 that included a signing bonus of $1.3 million and will pay him base salaries of $685,000 in 2011, $865,000 in 2012, and $1 million in 2013.

Guaranteed 1.3M, total contract 3/2.5M. The man (allegedly) was just doing some high-risk investing.

Chicago Bears receiver Sam Hurd was arrested in Chicago on federal drug charges Wednesday night, and the criminal complaint against him describes Hurd as regularly dealing large amounts of drugs in Chicago. The investigation into Hurd's attempt to buy large amounts of cocaine and marijuana began in July 2011, when he was still a member of the Dallas Cowboys, and concluded when he personally met with an undercover agent Wednesday at a restaurant on West Bryn Mawr Avenue in Chicago.

At that meeting, Hurd told the informant that he wanted to buy "five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week for distribution in the Chicago area," according to the complaint.

Hurd allegedly negotiated to pay $25,000 per kilogram for the cocaine and $450 per pound for the marijuana. The complaint says that Hurd "further stated that he and another co-conspirator currently distribute four kilograms of cocaine per week in the Chicago area, but that the supplier could not supply him with enough quantity."

Jeezy only pays 23k/kilo for coke, so Sam's not getting "Preferred Distributor Discount." And going to a supplier that can't get you 4 kilos a week? Weak.

I keep wondering...if this was me doing the "investing," would I trust one of my boys to negotiate and handle the pickups? Or would I do it myself? Seems awfully exposed that way...at least Z-Bo makes sure that he's not driving the car (though it's registered to his name) when running his empire.
