According to the complaint, Hurd, 26, whose base salary was $685,000 this year, met with a confidential informant and federal agent at Morton’s The Steakhouse in Rosemont, Illinois, on Wednesday.
There, the complaint says, he told the pair that he and another person were running 4 kilograms of cocaine into the Chicago area each week, but his supplier couldn’t keep up. He then allegedly worked out a deal to receive 5 to 10 kilograms of coke (at $25,000 apiece) and half a ton of marijuana (at $450 a pound) per week.
For the math-challenged, that’s a minimum of $575,000 worth of drugs. Every week.

The Chicago Bears official website has deleted him from the roster, but he is still listed on the NFL's version of the roster.
He's a native of San Antonio and used to play for the Cowboys, so this is either George W. Bush's fault or Rick Perry's.

Wholesale price. It will be marked-up all along the line. This guy isn’t the one selling it on the street.

Imagine how many other players are going to be implicated in this. Finding drug use in the NFL might be a tenth as prolific as finding pedophilia in Hollyweird.
Which would be a big thing. Huge.
