Jonathon Cooper’s legal situation goes from bad to worse with second arrest

Last week, Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper was arrested and charged with several counts stemming from an alleged altercation with his girlfriend. On Thursday, the sixth-year player was in court to address those issues.

After the first arrest, the Broncos statement focused on the organization gathering information about what happened. The team was supportive of their star player.

On Friday morning, the tone changed. The Broncos were far less sympathetic of the situation.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens from here. After the first arrest, there was a chance that the NFL would suspend Cooper, even if the matter was resolved in the courts. Now, that seems like it’s assured.

Jonathon Cooper had legal trouble a week ago. In the last 24 hours, the situation got much, much worse.
