"Any time you have to release a very talented young football player, its always a tough decision."
That's Washington Football Team football coach Ron Rivera explaining why he wrestled with the decision to release Derrius Guice on Friday, hours after Guice was arrested on domestic violence charges.
"On Friday, I made a decision that I believe was in the best interest of this organization, our players and our fans going forward," Rivera said during a Monday mornin media session.
"Very difficult decision."
As we previously reported, the 23-year-old running back was taken into custody on Friday on multiple charges, including one count of felony strangulation.
