Mingo signed a one-year contract with Atlanta back in March
The Atlanta Falcons have released Barkevious Mingo after the linebacker was arrested in a child sex offense case. The Arlington Police Department told TMZ Sports that Mingo was arrested on Thursday, July 8 on one count of indecency with a child -- sexual contact. Mingo turned himself in on his own accord, a bond had been posted and the 30-year-old was later released from custody. "We have terminated the contract of Barkevious Mingo," the Falcons stated in a tweet.
TMZ Sports reports that the charge is a second-degree felony, which can carry up to a 20-year prison sentence in Texas if convicted.
Earlier on Saturday, the Falcons said in the statement: "Our organization became aware of the allegations involving Barkevious Mingo today and are currently gathering information on this incident. The Falcons take the allegations very seriously and will continue to monitor the situation."
Mingo originally entered the NFL as the No. 6 overall pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2013. More recently, the LSU product has bounced around the league making stops with the Patriots, Colts, Seahawks, Texans and Bears. Back in March of this offseason, he signed a one-year deal to join the Falcons.
Oh wow, I don’t remember the unfortunate Mr. Gay, but wasn’t there another NFL guy done in by the wife/gf? Steven something?
I thot big league pedophilia was mixed in with the woke juice?
What if the guy is innocent? Will they let him back on the team?
Right-otherwise we’ll see what kind of a group is group funded to ‘demonstrate’ in his favor
Maybe he was just trying to illustrate how Deshaun Watson got into trouble. As Jerry Glanville used to say, the NFL stands for “Not For Long”.
“Barkevious”
Another scrabble box winner.
Reading the NY Post account is sounds evil....................

“Barkevious Mingo “
Say what??
Who would give their kid a dogs name?
I see they managed to work in A.A.Ron...
“You done messed up A.A. Ron!”
Standards have slipped, but not that much. There will be overwhelming public opprobrium if he really seems guilty (and the team dismissing him is not a good sign in that sense, as they may know stuff). Yes, someone will defend him, but that’s really trolling at this point.
Michael Jackson type stuff.
Without a doubt, the second funniest name in the NFL. Only to be beaten by D’Brickashaw Ferguson.
I suppose once they were delivered their mothers took one look and said that little miracle sure looks like a D’Brickashaw or in this case Barkevious.
Back to the subject at hand: Second degree charge sounds like some seriously disgusting sexual contact with a minor. Some people just aren’t wired right.
“ Barkevious”?! Asked the child about the name of his baby brother.
“We look out the teepee and name you after the first thing we see”
“Why do you ask, two dogs f******?”
See NY Post link previously posted..................
The LSU “product?”
Sounds vaguely racist, don’t it?
Knowing LSU, it sounds like a ‘minimalization’...............
Fred Lane had 3 good years w/ Carolina Panthers but was shot and killed by his wife when he was only 24. That was in Y2K.
I heard Hallmark/NetFlix was trying for the rights to mini~series?
And look at the folks that still idolize that demon!?!
I assume the Pats will be picking him up : ) /s
