Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd was arrested Wednesday night on federal drug charges after he allegedly attempted to purchase drugs from a North Texas supplier.
According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, Hurd told an undercover operative that he wanted up to 10 kilograms of cocaine and a half-ton of marijuana per week "for distribution in the Chicago area." He added that he was willing to pay $25,000 per kilo and $450 per pound.
More details via the criminal complaint (by way of the Dallas Morning News):
"…[H]is co-conspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals as Hurd focuses on the 'higher-end' deals. Hurd subsequently inquired if the UCA (undercover operative) and the CI (confidential informant involved in the case) could provide him with Mexican cellular telephones, as Hurd believed that law enforcement did not have the capability of listening to Mexican telephones."
The Bears released a statement Thursday afternoon: “We are aware of Sam’s arrest and are continuing to gather details surrounding it. We are disappointed whenever these circumstances arise. We will deal with them appropriately once we have all the information."

But, But—I thought that Tim Tebow was the evil one in the NFL.
But...he was just gonna sell it and not use it, so...it’s OK...right?
Hurd was claiming to be able to front $700k/wk for his drug enterprise. (And how would he do that?) He’d be moving 10 kilos of coke and 2000 pounds of the evil weed weekly. Not familiar the drug business, so I cannot comment on whether this is realistic amount drugs to be distributing in a major U.S. city, but those are mind boggling numbers.
Tony Dungy has found his next redemption project.
Maybe this is why America has never accepted the metric system...
Rather then buy one kilo, I'd buy 2 pounds. It would be a lot cheaper...
Tony might have to wait a while...
There are guys in Calixifornia who use 8 tons a day!
Wow, this has been a very weird bears season.
Glad he ain’t with DALLAS anymore........................
Sounds like Sam is going away for a long time. But, he’s likely to retain his status as a wide receiver.
No, you idiot, not a Mexican telephone, a "Mexican Radio" O, O.
NFL does stand for No For Long.
Just the white racist structure trying to keep the black man down.

or what Keith Richards used to call: "head stash".
Oh, he was a spare, 4th receiver his whole career. Always struck me in interviews as remarkably deficient in intellect. Find an old interview of his on youtube if you are moved to, and you’ll see what I mean.
