I hold to the fact that in this counrty a person is innocent until proven guilty. This is a right that many have died to protect. Yes he was arrested on Memorial Day the day we set aside to remember those sacrifices. If found guilty he should be punished. No one is above the law.

I agree that rich and famous people are targets for money grabbing people and are many times victims of false accusations. Sometimes the person did the wrong thing and the accusations are inflated. I will not go as far as Al to say that if he is convicted or takes a plea to any of these accusations that he should not be on the team anymore because I do not know what each of these entails. Sometimes and argument gets inflated and a person gets arrested. If he laid a hand on an individual that is not self defense then yes I do not want to see him in green and gold ever again.

Help is available.

Last year, OTAs began with the news that Elgton Jenkins had decided not to participate because he wanted a contract extension. This year, OTAs began with......this. It seems like a bad omen, which is exactly what the Jenkins thing turned out to be. Oh well, all we can do is wait and see what happens. I'm hoping for a quick resolution, one way or another, but that's not usually how these things go.

In many cases, charges and arrest in these situations comes down to the discretion of the investigating officer. The resolutions comes down to the attorneys.

You can take a boy o't the 'hood,
But you can't take the 'hood o't the boy.

Or, as Chappelle reminded us, "I Keeps It Real" is often a bad course of action.

I read the NFL personal conduct policy often leads to a six-game suspension. While a severe blow to the Packers chances, the team should look seriously at cutting bait and moving on regardless of the end result.

I know he is innocent until proven guilty. But this could linger for months, perhaps up to a year depending on how the lawyers wish to pursue it.
If the alleged claims are legit, you also have to think about the victim in the case.

Marshawn Lloyd is next up, but they should look at a trade or signing to make sure there's enough talent to carry 50 percent of the load.
I hope the allegations are false, but if true, there's no place in Green Bay for Josh Jacobs.

There are plenty of misbehaviors the league will "tolerate", but domestic violence (or whatever similar legal terms are used in different states) is one that most teams and GMs won't mess with. Most won't deal with the public blowback of it, even if it turns out to be dismissed or no charges are pressed. His chances of hanging are better because he's under contract (if he were on the open market, he'd be lucky to find a landing place anytime soon) if this "passes", but I'd say he's likely done in GB.

The Packers are supposedly built to run the football and all that rides on having a back who can protect and who can run through contact (because the OL has been so spotty). I suspect we'll see a couple FA RB in GB in the short term as this shakes out. There aren't any veteran backs out there that offer what 8 did and the Packers would be fools to rely on Marshawn Lloyd. They might swing a deal for someone hiding on another teams' depth chart. A cut on Jacobs likely saves enough cap space to make a signing or trade and still be cap-neutral.

More goes on the backs of 10 and the pass catchers.

I read that there was a 3 day investigation after the initial complaint. That isn't a good sign for Jacobs. They kept it under wraps as long as they could in a land where players are like royalty. What is up with strangulation? Just plain old assault and battery isn't enough anymore, now you have to choke someone? This garbage makes me sick, Gute better start making a contingency plan.

In the short time this story has been flying around the internet, many startling facts about domestic violence have been offered by various authors. Most disturbing, at least to me, domestic violence victims who experience non-fatal strangulation by an intimate partner are 750% more likely to be murdered by that partner in the future.

I hope Jacob's partner has the courage to follow this through, and that Jacobs get every opportunity to defend himself.

OK, yes in this country you are 'Presumed" to be innocent "until" you are found guilty. And if you have money and are rich, you have a much better chance of being "found innocent" than some poor, average bastard does. That's just the way it works in real life. Rich people have to be caught "red-handed with a hand-in-the-proverbial-cookie-jar" to have even a 50% chance of being convicted of a crime even if they are guilty. Lawyers don't care what they have to do to make the "victim" look bad as long as they get their $$$. Let's not kid ourselves, there are very few real life "Ken & Barbie" perfect relationships. Anyone who has been in a relationship has had disagreements, but most don't turn physical, or turn to "Strangulation." This is a huge stain on Jacobs no matter what happens going forward. It seems small compared to what the victim is enduring, but this will have a huge effect on the Packers team and reputation going forward because the team will get sued by somebody over this.

That being said, the question needs to be asked how this legally affects GB. "What if he is found guilty?" As far as his contract with the Packers goes, would this legally void Jacobs remaining 2 years of his contract? Is there wording in a standard contract that pertains to crimes being committed that protects the teams. These are the legal questions that have to be asked today. The Packers need to protect themselves.

This is a very serious thing to happen to Jacobs and the Packers team. The team is caught between a rock and a hard place while the incident plays out. They have to support the player but also have to have sympathy for the other person, the victim. There is no good time for something like this to happen, but it's way better to have this happen in the off-season than mid-year. GB needs to protect the team by finding more RB help now.

Sounds like a whole lot of people cant accept the fact , or dont want to accept the fact, that one of their sports hero's could possibly have done something like this...would all these people jump to defend some average guy?? Probably not...people more worried about what it does to the team than anything else...

I would just point out that these are not formal charges yet. In Wisconsin the police do not have that authority. A warrant was issued on an extremely low bar standard which effectively only requires some evidence of a heated argument occurring and allegations being made by one party.

2/3 of arrests for domestic violence never result in prosecution. What arrest does is trigger the prosecutors to have 72 hours to decide if there is enough evidence to file formal charges. Even if those are filed, there is no guarantee that they will find enough to proceed to actual Prosecution, its just really the start of the process of a true investigation. About 1/3 who are prosecuted are not convicted. Of those who are, 80% are only convicted of a misdemeanor.

As to the charges, in Wisconsin strangulation is automatically a felony charge. It also does not require any showing of medically identifiable physical harm. The interesting one is battery, because there are more than one level of that. The basic one here is one that requires little more than intentional contact in the context of a heated altercation. As such it doesn’t necessitate the existence of obvious injuries. That means it too may well be based upon a statement not visible hurt. If he’d done her significant visible damage, this charge would be upgraded.

So what do we know. He got into it with his girlfriend, it became heated, someone called the cops (inside the house or a neighbor). She has made statements alleging he put hands on her around the neck and shoulder area. She was not obviously visibly injured in any significant way. A judge was persuaded that there was evidence of a heated domestic altercation such that allegations of harm were plausible in the light of situational context (mess, neighbors hearing, statements of Jacobs potentially). Thus a warrant was issued.

That’s it. It’s not much to go on. Certainly it’s not proof of anything let alone capable of sustaining charges without much more. That’s not to say it’s not what many have left to conclude, just that it might also be completely vindictive bullshit at this point. It’s even possible that she was the instigator. The cops will, rightly, have a heavy presumption against the larger participant at this point.

The moral is, don’t leap to conclusions. It’s far too early to know if there is anything for the league or justice system to really get its teeth into. Don’t hang a guy for this and all of us may want to ponder if we’ve ever put ourselves in a situation where we could be in the same boat. My guess is more than like to admit it and, for the most part the reason it’s that easy to get in this situation is because it’s been so hard to protect victims unless the law slants heavily towards these kind of early presumptions.

Let’s wait, see what happens and keep open minds. Mob justice is no more edifying or justifiable than beating one’s partner. Bad news, sad news, but the knee-jerk response is as chilling as the police allegations are for me.

After another participation trophy year with a 9-8-1 record, backing into another "one and done playoff run", many have Curbed their Enthusiasm for the 2026 version of LaFleur's Packers.

Fans seem more ambivalent than usual since Policy enshrined "Murphy's Law by Football Committee", realizing the status quo is alive and well, concerns about the trenches on both sides of the ball, and lingering questions about availability of key players.

JJ just blew a hole in the key player "availability" roster. Parsons, Kraft, Wyatt, Tom, Watson, Lloyd and now Jacobs.

Is there time to sort these things out?

Meanwhile, Brewers are leading their division and looking good...

The fact that Jacobs turned himself in tells me that the victim was not seriously injured if at all. If the victim was injured the police would not have waited for him to turn himself in. It also does not seem that charges have been filed or an arraignment should been scheduled for either today or tomorrow (which could still happen).

Jacobs obviously should have the resources to make bail if that becomes necessary. We will not hear Jacobs side of the story unless or until the case (if any) goes to trial as his attorney will no doubt tell him not to speak with anyone except them about the case. This could all be a long term coming depending on how the attorneys for both sides play this out.

Bottom line is that I am an "innocent until proven guilty" person and I believe that everyone deserves due process. I also believe that neither the league nor the Packers should take any action (suspension) or release from the team until this is adjudicated in the court if it gets that far. However as many others here have already stated if any of this is true I don't want Jacobs anywhere near the Packers again. As frustrating as this is we are in a wait and see period.
Thanks, Since '61

Domestic situation(s) where the entire truth is often not revealed.
I was a Fed agent for 35 yrs and a city cop previous to becoming a special agent.
Originally (‘70s-‘80s), the police merely attempted to play mediator and calm the situation. Asking one of the combatants to depart; usually the male. Then the policies and/or laws changed. The police now generally arrest one of the violaters. The accusations are always murky—.
I recall responding to a domestic circa 1979. When we arrived, we found the house was a wreck and looked like a knife/utensil throwing contest. The wife was pregnant and the spouses screamed at each other with murder in their hearts. When my partner and I began to remove the male from the house (not arrest), the pregnant female turned on us jumped on my back knocking me to the ground and then attempted to stab me with a fork; most of us in law enforcement didn’t wear vests then.
We arrested the female and then the male turned on us. I still don’t know which spouse was the initial instigator.
Anyway, wasn’t my best day.
I think you understand my point about domestic violence.
Go Packers!!!

Sadly, the fact that this situation involved a noticeable ruckus and property damage alone is poor optics for the Packer brand. I really like josh and feel he is the heart of the team but I don't think he will over-come this and will be let go

Eveeryone should just be patient and wait for the facts.

With Jacobs - perhaps not all is as it seems.

The 2 most prevalent criminal charges in the NFL are DUIs and Domestic Violence. Jacobs has now been arrested for both. A DUI in 2021 - pleaded down to a single misdemeanor count of failure to exercise due care/duty of driver to decrease speed. His penance was community service and a fine.

Today he is facing charges of Domestic Violence. Unless all charges are dropped - there will be some degree of reputational damage - which could adversely impact both the player and the Packers.

It would be prudent for the Packers to form a RB contingency plan.

Why can't everyone understand and accept that people arrested, in this country, are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court? You can bandy about the probable cause of his arrest, but that isn't proof of guilt. All those that want to punish Jacobs, without due process, are advocating against the constitution. Un-American activity by one and all.

If Jacobs is guilty AZ, then he deserves to be punished. He has also embarressed the Green Bay Packers with this episode. That will more than likely get him released from the team. Nobody has said we should ignore the constitution, but a majority don't want him as a Packer now.

To say that rich and famous people are often victims of false accusations is a disgusting route to take here. Rich and famous people are actually most likely to commit the types of crimes that Jacobs is accused of. It's routine for men in sports and politics and they are usually guilty even though they are not always convicted. It may be a "he said she said" case with no charges being filed but right now I believe the victim and that probably wont change. Wake up people. We know how things work in this country.

Pro athletes are stupid with some of the choices they make in Partners. Their wives and girlfriends are stupid in thinking there won't be a long line of other women hoping to replace them.

If my wife beats me up at home, I will have it documented on the video surveillance system. Those systems are quite common nowadays, so perhaps Jacobs has his home quipped with a similar system and that will go a long way in determining the outcome of this incident.

Innocent until PROVEN guilty is the standard in this great Country. Josh Jacobs doesn't have to prove he didn't commit the crime. The burden of proof is on his accuser. That doesn't stop people from jumping to conclusions, but if we are using the court of public opinion standard, here's mine. Josh has always presented himself as a decent, thoughtful and respectable person. His accuser is an Instagram influencer who goes by Ashe KASHE as in (cash). The world is full of gold-digging women looking for that cash (Kashe?). If I have a benefit of the doubt to give, it goes to Josh. The Law requires that, and so does the evidence of how this man has handled himself. He deserves that much.
