Earlier today on The Morning Shift Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac reacted to the news that Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. was arrested on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon (two counts) and aggravated stalking and fleeing/eluding police, and that Pearce Jr. was arrested after crashing his vehicle following a police chase, and explained why it’s too early to say what Pearce’s future will or won't be with Falcons.

“I would caution people that say well he’s done he’ll never play here again, and start crapping on him because that’s not necessarily the case. We’ve seen these kinds of cases play out where charges are dropped or the victim doesn’t want to go through with the charges.” Beau Morgan said

The Falcons issued a statement Saturday night saying they were "gathering more information."

Until this situation fully plays out legally it’s just way too early to know or predict what James Pearce Jr.’s future will or won't be with the Atlanta Falcons.
