Mychal Kendricks Receives Easy Punishment For Insider Trading, Wants To Keep Playing

Kendricks was facing a daunting 25 years behind bars, but was let off relatively easy.

On Thursday, Adam Schefter reported that Mychal Kendricks was sentenced to one day in prison, along with three years of probation and a whole lot of community service hours.

At 30-years-old Mychal Kendricks is now free to resume his NFL career.

The talented linebacker finished last season as a key cog in the Washington Football Team’s impressive defensive unit.

After the weak sentencing, I’m sure some teams will be inquiring about Kendricks.
