Jerome Simpson sentenced to 15 days after plea agreement

Apr 05, 2012

A Kentucky judge sentenced former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson to 15 days in jail and three years of probation on drug-related charges.

Simpson reportedly had two pounds of marijuana shipped to his home last September, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Simpson pleaded guilty on March 1 in Kenton County Circuit Court to the charge where prosecutors recommended a 60-day jail stay as part of the plea agreement.

Simpson was originally indicted on a felony charge of marijuana trafficking, but as part of the plea deal the charge was changed to a prohibited act relating to controlled substances, also a felony.

Fantasy Impact:

Simpson is a talented WR, but he's clearly a knucklehead. Perhaps this will serve as a wake up call as he tries to find a job for the 2012 season.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
