This case had additional details as a text thread was revealed which included a deposit asking the victim to sign an NDA as well as a financial regulations. Despite the maintenance of his innocence. After being released on bail of $ 25,000, he had to be drafted in the first fifty, but was not drafted.
Both cases were resolved in a few hours the same day
On Thursday, although both cases are completely unrelated, the two cases met their end the same day. In the case of Judkins, the Broward County Prosecutor’s Office refused to continue the case due to a lack of evidence and contradictory statements by Judkins and the alleged victim. As for the case of Bond, the Grand Jury of the Collin County Texas made the decision of “no invoice”. This decision reveals that the state of Texas chooses not to instill the obligation of these accusations. The two cases did not lead to any legal action beyond discovery and audiences. None of the cases were judged.
Following steps
Judkins, who has still not signed a recruit contract, is expected to return to Camp Browns in the coming days. Bond had not signed with an NFL team. Earlier in the day, when the news came in this link will not face a legal discipline, he announced via his social media that he intended to sign with the Browns.

The curious nature of the two cases was only made intriguing than with the two players who were mainly exempt a few hours from the same day, will continue their NFL trip with Cleveland. This is remarkable in an NFL landscape which for some time has been willing to punish teams for having acquired players who find themselves in legal problems. Although each team has its fair share of problems to solve, the Browns have been rather consistent to take risks calculated with certain players.
In addition to judis and Bond, the choice of the second round of the Browns last year, Michael Hall Jr, was arrested for domestic violence. Hall did not argue any competitions for a reduced sentence. The NFL has suspended Hall for 5 games for violating the League’s personal conduct policy. All this seems pale compared to the legal glove which came after the Browns exchanged and paid in Deshaun Watson a record of $ 243 million, a completely guaranteed contract before his allegations of sexual assault was resolved.
Bond premature announcement
According to Chris Easterling of Akron Beacon Journal and Mary Kay Cabot from Cleveland.com, no agreement with Bond was signed. The Browns, who have followed his situation since the pre-project process Make a reasonable diligence on Bond Before a final decision was made. Regardless of the calendar or optics, the Browns could respond to certain concerns of alignment concerning the return of Judkins and the possible addition of Isaiah Bond.

Now that the judicial process has ended, the Browns will wait and see which discipline is deducted in the name of the NFL League office with regard to personal conduct policy.
