Cowboys defensive tackle Antwaun Woods was arrested earlier this week, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. Woods faces charges for marijuana possession and tampering with evidence, which could lead to legal consequences and league discipline.
Woods was arrested on Tuesday at a traffic stop and police say he was found with 2.07 ounces of marijuana, plus a joint. The tampering with evidence charge, presumably, stems from an alleged attempt to hide the weed.
According to the police report, Woods was going 77 in a 60 mph zone. The bigger issue, of course, is the marijuana – in Texas, the tampering charge is a third-degree felony, while the possession charge is a Class A misdemeanor.
Woods, 26, has started in all eight of his games this year. So far, he has 15 total tackles and one fumble recovery on his stat sheet.
This offseason, the Cowboys will have the option of retaining him as a restricted free agent. Because Woods entered the league as an undrafted free agent, he’d cost roughly $2MM to keep.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Agreed. Why race around doing 77 mph when all you have to do is hide behind the grassy knoll?
I bet he wouldn’t mind a trade to the west coast
Stephen A. Smith will have a field day with this one
I can’t wait! Classic
I can easily wait/pass
Dude is obnoxious
Texas needs to get with the times
It’s still against the rules in the NFL.
You sir are correct and as an NFL player you signed a contract that stated you will not use marijuana. On the flip side of that,In california when a person has 2 ounces of weed they consider themselves low on weed.
Nah we don’t worry if we get low on weed because we can just walk to the store and get more. It’s really lovely
Yeah. santa cruz is like that now.
In California, Kamela Harris would have you thrown into prison for the 2 ounces, and then laughed as she pocketed to pot herself.
Nfl needs to get with the times
incorrct. they’re rightfully a bastion of realism in this respect.
Huh?

He tampered with the evidence by lighting up. Tried to smoke the evidence not sure if that is stupid or brilliant.
It could only be brilliant if there were no ways to test the blood stream for illegal substances.
Could be brilliant if it got him off a dui!
I’m pretty certain any blood test would nail him on that too.
A blood test would say that he was driving while high?
No. The test would only reveal what chemicals in what amounts were found in the blood sample at the time it was analyzed. It’s only potential evidence and a prosecuting lawyer would obviously want other supporting evidence such as police reports, witness statements etc. before presenting a case to the judge.
Not going to go on my rant about marijuana use for pain over opioids. I think most of us know but someone needs to fill in the NFL that CBD has no hallucinogenic properties over the manufactured heroine they hand out like candy. Plus the addiction factor. Sorry just a small rant.
Totally agree. You could rant more too if you wanted. Weed however will never be legal in the south and I could open that can of worms, but people don’t like human rights talk or politics on sports forums.
Oh Mary Jane, so much love but then again so many odds and prohibitions, not sure why they care so much, or don’t?…
