On Tuesday Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington was conditionally reinstated to the NFL

So, you got our take on the reinstatement of Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington on Tuesday. What do fans think of the reinstatement?

Even though the reinstatement is conditional on working the program the NFL has placed in front of him, Washington could see full reinstatement at the end of August and possibly be ready for regular-season action for the first time since 2013.

I personally do not wish to see Washington in a Cardinals uniform again. It is one thing with the drugs but beating a woman (a charge he plead guilty to), is just a deal-breaker in my book.

Some fans though want to win now, at any cost, regardless of history. The man plays the game of football. Some things in life are just bigger than a silly game of football as far as I’m concerned.

@DWashington58 Dude! I hope you are in a better place now. I will gladly welcome you back with open arms. Change and positivity! #lifealter

Nah...Daryl Washington ain't coming back. I'm not drinking that kool-aid and neither should the Cardinals...

Daryl Washington will be a Cardinal week 1. @LarryFitzgerald already excited for him.

As you can see, overwhelmingly (at least on Twitter), fans want him back. I could find very few people ready to write him off.

The fact is people ask about him all the time. Even soon after his day in court, people were yammering for him to return.

I decided I would not write about Daryl Washington at all until he was reinstated. Now, unfortunately he can not be ignored. I get wanting Washington the player back but even then, is it good enough? Remember, he’s been out of football for over three years.

I respect fans opinions and wanting him back. I just happen to not agree with it at all.
