I don't understand why things happen like that
by Lin Luan LIN NFL Shop In a letter signed by Hernandez, he offered to "submit to a bi-weekly drug test throughout my rookie season (eight drug tests during the 2010 regular season). In addition, I will tie any guaranteed portion of my 2010 compensation to these drug tests and reimburse the team a pro-rata amount for any failed drug test."Herve Leger Replica

The letter goes on to point out such an agreement would be barred by the NFL Players Association so Hernandez was authorizing his agents to come up with a creative way to do it, including possibly donating to the team's choice of charities. "My point is simple — if I fail a drug test, I do not deserve that portion of the money.
"I realize that this offer is somewhat unorthodox but it is also the only way I could think of to let you know how serious I am about reaching my potential in the NFL."
The letter went on to discuss his work habits and impact on an offense, concluding, "The only X-factor, according to the reports I have heard, is concerns about my use of recreational drugs. To address that concern I am literally putting my money where my mouth is and taking the financial risk away from the team and putting it directly on my back where it belongs.
"In closing, I ask you to trust me when I say you have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to me and the use of recreational drugs."

Kraft was impressed with the letter, he admitted, and grew to like Hernandez personally as well as professionally. He claimed he'd shown no sign of disrespect toward him or the organization while in Foxboro and in fact, according to Belichick, had his best training camp after the $40 million extension was negotiated and he'd received $9.5 million of his $12.5 million signing bonus in cash. "I remember some players we gave some money to and they dogged it for a year or two," Kraft said. "He had the best camp of any player. We made a business decision. We paid for performance.
Obviously it wasn't the correct decision. We're just sorry for what the Lloyd family has to go through. They lost a son, a brother. It's sad. I don't understand why things happen like that. I got duped to be honest. He knew how to push my buttons."

Kraft claimed he had no knowledge of allegations from some quarters that Hernandez ran with a rough crowd that included alleged gang members, convicted dope dealers and gun-toting thugs. "When he was in our building, we never saw anything where he was not polite," Kraft said. "He was always respectful, always polite but I only know what goes on inside the building. We don't put private eyes on people. We set up guidelines."
