Before the Daryl Worley era could begin legal issues brought it to an abrupt halt. What was going to be a homecoming for the former Penn Charter and West Virginia standout ended when the Eagles released the Philadelphia native after he was arrested early Sunday morning.
The team announced they have cut ties with Worley. According to multiple reports, Worley was sleeping at the wheel at the intersection of Broad and Patterson streets at 6 AM on Sunday.
Police responded to a 911 call and Worley reportedly resisted arrest before a taser was administered to the 23-year-old. A gun was found in the car as well.
The Eagles traded wide receiver Torrey Smith to the Panthers for Worley last month. The move was seen as a coup at first since Philadelphia was going to release Smith anyway. Young, talented, inexpensive defensive backs don’t usually come at such a low cost.
Worley had a previous run-in with the law while he was at West Virginia. He entered a ‘no-contest’ plea and subsequently had an assault charge washed from his record after completing a suspended sentencing program.
This latest legal issue may not be as easy to wiggle out of. Worley was asked if being back in his hometown would bring on distractions. His answer made it seem as if he was going to be good to go once he was back in Philadelphia.
