Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns are a month away from starting the 2025 regular season and just one day away from their first preseason action. In a season that seems to be all about the quarterback position and developing the young roster, the Browns do not have RB Quinshon Judkins, their second-round pick this year, under contract or with the team.
The contract impasse was likely to be overcome once other second-rounders signed, but Judkins’ arrest on a domestic violence charge is the primary concern at this point.
Generally, the NFL has allowed the legal process to play out before rendering any discipline. For Cleveland and Judkins’ agents, how guaranteed money (which is generally voided based on these types of charges) is handled might make things difficult in that realm as well.
A recent update to the Broward County court records might delay everything related to Judkins’ time in the NFL. The record shows, as first reported by Spencer Germain, that Judkins has waived his right to a speedy trial:
Germain noted in his social media post that this waiver extends the time the state has to try Judkins from 60 days of his arrest to, now, 175 days.
We will continue to keep you updated as more official information comes along.
