NFL Player Downs Margaritas at Salty Senorita; Once Bashed a Skull, Too

Stevens thinking about a fruity margarita at Salty Senorita

It’s been an exciting offseason thus far in the NFL, hasn’t it? A wookie was traded, then he retired, and now he might owe someone $7 million. A cornerback got attacked in a bowling alley, after he had been charged for punching a cop, after he made it rain in Vegas. Now, free-agent tight end Jerramy Stevens, formerly of the Seattle Seahawks, had “four or five” margaritas before cruising down Indian School Road with weed in his pocket. Oh yeah: he ingested them at a place called Salty Senorita. Big, mean NFL tight ends aren’t allowed to drink margaritas at such establishments! Doesn’t he get fined for that, too? Or at least laughed at, while standing in the middle of an empty stage, in Times Square, by very hairy, very fat, very drunk men armed with bags of salted peanuts?

A Seattle Seahawks player faces charges of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana after his Tuesday morning arrest in downtown Scottsdale.

Jerramy Stevens, the NFL team’s starting tight end, was taken into police custody around 2:30 a.m. after he admitted to drinking “four or five margaritas” at the Salty Senorita bar on Scottsdale Road, according to police.

Stevens, 27, was also cited for possession of marijuana after officers found a portion in his back pocket, police said. The arresting officer said Stevens’ eyes were “bloodshot, watery and half-closed.”

Of course, you know that’s not the full story here. Stevens, whom has had a relatively innocuous career in the NFL, has a history of, ahem, discretions with Johnny Law, which The Fanhouse also picked up on:

- Stevens was also cited for drunk driving in the Seattle area in ’03
- … and for a hit-and-run for crashing his car into a retirement home in ’01
- … and for bashing in a guy’s jaw with a baseball bat in ’98

Since the charges were dropped, we won’t mention that in 2000 he was also accused of drugging and raping a 19-year-old girl while at the University of Washington. Anyway, no big deal, it’s not like he’s the kind of guy who’d try to, like, crush your skull with a baseball bat or anything, so we’ll give Jerramy the benefit of the doubt and say he made a mistake, he’s learned his lesson, and that it will neeeeeeeever happen again.

We couldn’t bring ourselves to put that glazy-eyed, drunken photo called Jerramy Stevens’ Mugshot up there.
