Former Saints DE Glenn Foster Jr. died while in police custody. 
from espn.com:
Alabama authorities are investigating after former NFL player Glenn Foster Jr. died in custody following a high-speed chase that resulted in his arrest and then a fight involving officers in the county jail where he was being held.
The 31-year-old former New Orleans Saints player died Monday at a medical facility in Northport, Alabama, Senior Alabama Trooper Reginal King told The Tuscaloosa News.
While being handcuffed, Foster fought against a Pickens County deputy and a correctional officer, injuring the deputy's nose and hand, according to court records obtained by The Associated Press.
Foster had an initial court appearance before Pickens County District Judge Samuel Junkin, where he was "non-compliant and refused to respond to answer any questions" aside from demanding an attorney, the judge wrote.
Based on police observations and how Foster behaved, the judge said Foster was "not mentally stable and a danger to himself and others" and ordered him held without bond for a mental evaluation.
But what happened from that time until his death was a mystery. Few other details have been released.

They killed him and will bury the truth with him.
How is anyone shocked that the trained liars who get less schooling than cna’s do to wipe asses can’t handle those who are clearly having mental health issues.

You’re arguing two different things. Yes, he lied. And the NFL knew he lied. And there was no protocols enforced. But the PA and NFL also agreed on the protocols and the discipline for breaking them. They can’t discipline him anymore than the protocols state just because he was an asshole about it. Whether they should is immaterial. It won’t happen because it can’t.

HOFer Lawrence Taylor was arrested on Thursday.
from cbssports.com:
Retired NFL legend Lawrence Taylor was arrested in Florida on Thursday, as Fox Sports 640's Andy Slater first reported. The Hall of Fame pass-rusher and longtime Giants star is facing two felony charges for failing to alert authorities to a change in address. This comes 10 years after Taylor, 62, pleaded guilty to charges of sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute, resulting in him becoming a registered sex offender -- which requires informing authorities of new residences.
Taylor was booked around 8:45 p.m. ET, according to TMZ, and released later Thursday night from the Broward County Sheriff's Office. His attorney, Arthur Aidala, told TMZ that the former linebacker "has been compliant with all of the rules and regulations regarding his legal status for the past decade." Taylor is "in the middle of a divorce," however, "and his local police department suggested it would be best if he slept at a nearby hotel."
"Mr. Taylor was constantly a resident of the marital home where he was registered," Taylor's attorney continued, "but on advice of local law enforcement, he was sleeping outside the home. We are confident that this will be dismissed at the first court hearing."
This isn't the first time Taylor has been in legal trouble since his 2011 charges. The two-time Super Bowl champion pleaded guilty to DUI charges in 2017 after crashing into a parked police car in Florida. During Taylor's prestigious playing career, in which he won NFL MVP, went to 10 Pro Bowls and redefined modern-day pass-rushing, the longtime Giant also battled off-field issues, serving a suspension for repeated drug use.

Clinton Portis sentenced to 6 months for fraud.
from cbssports.com:
After pleading guilty to his role in a nationwide scheme to defraud the NFL's healthcare benefit program for league veterans, former All-Pro running back Clinton Portis was sentenced to six months in prison on Thursday.
Federal prosecutors had previously recommended a high-end sentencing -- between 10 and 16 months of prison time -- as well as a fine for Portis' involvement in the fraud case. That's according to U.S. District Court filings obtained by CBS Sports.
Portis, 40, best known as a repeat Pro Bowler for the Washington Football Team from 2004-2010, wrongfully obtained nearly $100,000 as part of a crime ring that sought more than $2.8 million through false reimbursement claims. Former NFL linebacker Robert McCune allegedly orchestrated the scheme, which targeted a reimbursement account established to help retired players cover medical expenses, but Portis admitted in August that he made two separate false and fraudulent claims as part of the operation.
Portis' counsel filed a sentencing memorandum Dec. 30 to request a sentence of "time served" in lieu of incarceration, meaning he would face zero jail time after Thursday's sentencing. Other defendants, including fellow NFL alumni Antwan Odom, Carlos Rogers and Joe Horn, avoided incarceration despite similar conduct in the scheme, Portis' filing states. The retired Washington star also notes that he now has multiple minor children, including infant twins born in August, who depend on him.
