He wasn't suspended for his 1 game until the start of last year, 2023.
Interesting. The question becomes do you take the punishment now or later IF that really could be an option. For me, I would want to postpone it just to keep Rice's development and momentum going but for the victims involved the bureaucracy of the court system justice is delayed, which sucks for them.

Robinson was eventually an average/useful receiver to have as depth in years 4 and 5 (450 yards per year, 3.5 touchdowns on average).
Skyy will never be a star, but there is hope for him to be a functioning receiver for a couple of cheap years still.
Did D Rob eat up 60% of offensive snaps like Skyy did until week 14? This isn't a gotcha, I just don't remember.
Edit: looks like D Rob got more snaps than Skyy. Still, Skyy Moore is beyond shite and fingers crossed we won't be seeing him at any point again. [Reply]

Victims will settle and be made whole long before the judicial system moves forward. [Reply]

Skyy Moore
Detroit must be Disappointed in Jamison Williams. he has not been as useless as Moore, but they sure gave up a lot to get him. Just think if they had given up a little bit more and gotten either Olave or Wilson! [Reply]
Nate Taylor's saying he's presently behind Toney, Remigio and ROSS. That's 4 dudes fighting for, IMO, 1 spot. And he's 4th on the list right now.
That's a bad sign for a guy coming into his '3rd year breakout' season and competing with Remigio, who missed the entire season and Ross who simply hasn't played much at all. Toney was gonna be a tough guy for him to get ahead of anyway, IMO. But if he's presently trailing those other two, the guy is toast. [Reply]
I really wish someone would give us something for him. Even a player for player would be fine. Someone we can later cut with no financial penalty if needed. [Reply]

That's best for the team. Andy will hopefully just say that he missed on Skyy and move forward without him. [Reply]

Honestly it's better that he is obviously trash.
It's much worse when a dude has "potential" and/ or runs hot and cold. If he just sucks outright, and that seems to be the case with Moore, then it is a much easier decision to cut him and move on.
Sucks to burn a high draft pick but that is life sometimes. [Reply]
I recall him doing a combine interview with NFL radio before he got drafted. I was listening to it and I was like, "This guy screams shitty Belichick WR"
Everything he said was about his team approach and his selflessness and his work ethic. The bells rang in my head and signaled a player who knew he possessed no elite physical traits to play the position. For certain positions you can hear that kind of talk and go, "Well, he seems nice. Let's see what he can do on the team." For others, like WR, you DON'T want that kind of attitude. At all. You want to hear the diva talk and the "I'm the fucking greatest, bitch" and all that other stuff. But he didn't give even a whiff of it. And at that moment I was like, "Good thing our GM doesn't draft shit players like this."
I convinced myself when we took him that I was wrong and how that was an unfair assessment based on one interview. I ate up that college separation rate bullshit stat that got passed around. And mostly, I was adamant that he be given a fair shake which might mean getting a full redshirt year his first season.
He got a fair shake. He got two years of a shake. That's more than most players get.
It's okay. GMs will miss on players. They all do. And it's not like the guy didn't try hard. It didn't work out. He had a dream of playing in the NFL, and he got there, but he flamed out. Nothing personal. But, yeah... he does need to go away. [Reply]
