Kap has an open lawsuit against the league, no way he is ever getting signed ever again.
49ers DID NOT CUT Reuben Foster.....LOL. Their legal team must have knowledge the public doesnt, because otherwise they would have cut him no doubt. The allegations and charges probably wont hold weight due to poor evidence, lack of any corroborating witnesses, and the prosecutions lack of appetite to convict such a high profile offender, as he has the most high powered super-lawyers California has to offer. And now, we know he basically has the support of the 49ers, which really tips the scales in his favor from a legal standpoint (they wont support him publicly, but behind the scenes).
The Niners are hoping his case gets kicked down the road a number of months while his lawyers pressure the victim into settling, and hope the story gets buried by other more relevant off season stories. THe NFL will suspend him for 2 or 3 games probably, and he will be back for week 6 at the very least of the 2018 season.
I mean, this picture tells you everything you need to know as far as why Lynch didnt cut this guy. He is a dream linebacking prospect, supreme athleticism, a mean streak and is intimidating as fuck. Plus they owe him a lot of money and used a lot of draft capital on him so they are going to try and salvage what they can here with him. Especially after what happened with the last few guys who ran afoul with the law, they have gotten burned by quite a few delinquent players and had to pay dead money.
edit: Lynch isnt a small dude himself, and Foster is clearly way fucking bigger than him. Lynch was a feared defender who lit dudes up, and look at the size difference. Foster can be special if he stays out of trouble.
