It is hard to say if the accident was the reason the Commanders cut Deshazor Everett, but it certainly didn’t help his cause.
Everett will have a hard time getting another job in the NFL until he somehow settles this case. Right now, he is looking at some serious jail time if convicted.
The good news for Everett is cops are saying he didn’t have any alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of the crash. They are blaming excesses speed as the cause for the accident,
TMZ Sports has more details.
The Washington Commanders have cut Deshazor Everett … three months after his alleged role in a fatal December car crash.
The team announced the roster move on Wednesday — though it’s unclear if his legal case had anything to do with the decision.
As we reported, authorities say Everett was going over 90 mph in a 45 mph zone just before he crashed his Nissan GT-R in Virginia on Dec. 23.
The accident was so bad, it ultimately killed his passenger, Olivia Peters. In 911 audio, obtained by TMZ Sports, a witness at the scene said the wrecked car was “trapped in the trees.”
Following weeks of investigating, authorities hit Everett with a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter in February — and records show he’s due in court for a hearing on the matter in June.
The 911 call was tough to listen to.
Peters and Everett have been dating for a while, even though they hadn’t gone public with their relationship.
Peters helped underprivileged kids and was well-liked within the community. Since the beginning, Everett has been highly apologetic but has denied he was speeding and was responsible for the crash.
He believes it was just an accident and will try to prove that in court. It looks like he will have more time to fight the case since he doesn’t have a team now.
