Oakland Raiders cornerback Daryl Worley pleaded guilty in June to three charges, including driving under the influence, stemming from his arrest in April, according to online court records.

The records from the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania show that Worley pleaded guilty on June 18 to misdemeanor charges of DUI, carrying firearms in public in Philadelphia and resisting arrest. Three other charges, including a felony charge of carrying a firearm without a license, were dropped. Worley was sentenced to 72 hours in jail on the DUI charge but was credited with time served. He was sentenced to two years' probation on the other two charges.

Worley will likely be disciplined by the NFL under its personal conduct policy, but he told reporters last week that he hasn't heard from the league yet.

Worley, then with the Philadelphia Eagles, was arrested April 15 near the team facility when he was allegedly found passed out inside a vehicle blocking a highway, according to NFL Network.

"You can't change the past. Just like plays on the field, you can't change what happened," Worley told reporters Thursday. "You just have to move on to the next one. I was thankful when I talked to Coach [Jon] Gruden on the phone. It was a very passionate conversation. He was understanding.

"People make mistakes in life. It's not about the mistake, it's about whether you learn from it and what you do continuing to move forward in the future."

The Eagles, who had acquired Worley in a trade that sent wide receiver Torrey Smith to the Carolina Panthers, waived the cornerback after his arrest. He later signed with the Raiders.

He told reporters Thursday that he was grateful the Raiders gave him another chance.

"It was amazing for me, just to be able to get another opportunity, because many people don't get a second chance. I was blessed to be able to get another chance and make the best of it," he said.</s>Oakland Raiders cornerback Daryl Worley was sentenced to three days in jail and two years of probation in June after pleading guilty to firearms and resisting arrest charges stemming from an incident in April, per Pennsylvania court records.

Worley initially was facing facing six charges in connection to his arrest in Philadelphia on April 15 before reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors. Police found him passed out inside a vehicle blocking an intersection in Philadelphia, and officers administered a taser on Worley. Police also recovered a gun at the scene.

Worley was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles at the time of his arrest, but he was released by the team hours after the incident. The third-year corner was actually acquired in a trade by the Eagles from the Carolina Panthers on March 9 before being cut by the team.

The Raiders signed Worley on April 23. He's set to play a significant role in Oakland's revamped secondary after recording 150 tackles, three interceptions and two sacks in 31 games with the Panthers.

Worley remains subject to potential discipline under the NFL's personal conduct policies.</s>Worley was sentenced to two years of probation in June after pleading guilty to firearms and resisting arrest charges stemming from an incident in April, Austin Knoblauch of NFL.com reports.

Worley was only subjected to three days of jail time following the April incident that ultimately forced the Eagles to release him, but he still faces a two-year probation sentence. The Raiders knew about the events as they signed him just over one week after the incident, but he'll remain subject to potential discipline from the league as well. The third-year cornerback is expected to be a legit contender for playing time in the Raiders' secondary.</s>Oakland Raiders cornerback Daryl Worley pleaded guilty on June 18 to three misdemeanors stemming from an April arrest in Philadelphia.

Per First Judicial District of Pennsylvania court records (via ESPN.com), Worley pleaded guilty to DUI, carrying firearms in public in Philadelphia and resisting arrest.

Worley was arrested on Apr. 15 when he was found passed out in a vehicle that was blocking a highway.

By pleading guilty, Worley received 72 hours in jail with time served for the DUI charge and two years of probation for carrying firearms in public and resisting arrest.

Per ESPN.com's Tim McManus, six charges were filed against Worley following his arrest, including DUI, firearms not to be carried without a license, carrying firearms in public in Philadelphia, possession of an instrument of crime, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct/engaging in fighting.

After being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles in a March trade with the Carolina Panthers, Worley was released following his arrest. The 23-year-old signed with the Raiders on Apr. 23.

Worley could also be subject to discipline by the NFL under the personal-conduct policy.</s>Raiders cornerback Daryl Worley has been sentenced to two years probation after pleading guilty to three charges stemming from his April arrest in Philadelphia.

Worley pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, a firearms charge and resisting arrest while three other charges were dropped. He was also sentenced to 72 hours in jail, but was credited with time served. Worley was arrested after being found passed out behind the wheel of his car.

The car was close to the Eagles facility and the Eagles, who acquired Worley in a trade that sent Torrey Smith to the Panthers, released Worley shortly after the arrest. He signed with the Raiders a week later.

“It was amazing for me, just to be able to get another opportunity, because many people don’t get a second chance. I was blessed to be able to get another chance and make the best of it,” Worley said, via ESPN.com.

Worley remains subject to NFL discipline as a result of his arrest.</s>Oakland Raiders cornerback Daryl Worley is likely facing discipline from the NFL after online court records revealed he pleaded guilty in June to three charges, including driving under the influence.

According to online court records from the First Judicial District Court of Pennsylvania, Worley pleaded guilty on June 18 to three misdemeanor charges of DUI, carrying firearms in public in Philadelphia and resisting arrest. Three other charges, notably a felony charge of carrying a firearm without a license, were dropped.

Worley, 23, was sentenced to 72 hours in jail on the DUI but was credited with time served. He was given two years' probation on the other two charges.

Worley was arrested April 15 and charged with six offenses, including driving under the influence, possession of an instrument of crime and resisting arrest following an incident near the Philadelphia Eagles' training facilities.

The Eagles promptly released Worley after the incident when he was found passed out inside a vehicle blocking an intersection in Philadelphia.

Worley was acquired by the Eagles from the Carolina Panthers for receiver Torrey Smith at the start of free agency in March and was expected to add depth to their secondary.

Worley started 14 games for the Panthers last year, when he had two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, one sack and 63 tackles. He has 152 tackles, three interceptions and 2.0 sacks in 31 career contests since being selected by the Panthers in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.</s>Oakland Raiders free agent cornerback signee Daryl Worley has reportedly impressed in camp thus far. But now it appears he may not be available to show off those skills when the season opens.

According to multiple reports Saturday, Worley pleaded guilty on June 18 to three counts following his April arrest in Philadelphia and was sentenced to three days in jail and two years of probation.

Police reportedly found Worley passed out inside a vehicle blocking an intersection in Philadelphia, and officers ultimately used a stun gun on him. Police also recovered a gun at the scene. Ultimately, according to reports, Worley pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, carrying firearms in public and resisting arrest.

The guilty plea could leave him subject to discipline under the NFL's personal conduct policy. According to reporters at Raiders camp, Worley said last week he has yet to hear from the league.

Worley was with the Philadelphia Eagles at the time of his arrest.

"You can't change the past. Just like plays on the field, you can't change what happened," Worley told reporters at camp Thursday. "You just have to move on to the next one. I was thankful when I talked to Coach Gruden on the phone. It was a very passionate conversation. He was understanding.

"People make mistakes in life. It's not about the mistake, it's about whether you learn from it and what you do continuing to move forward in the future."

The Eagles acquired Worley from Carolina in exchange for wide receiver Torrey Smith but waived the cornerback after his arrest. He then signed with the Raiders.</s>In a somewhat surprising move, the Oakland Raiders released kicker Giorgio Tavecchio, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Friday.

Tavecchio replaced veteran Sebastian Janikowski in 2017 and made 16 of 21 field-goal attempts and 33 of 34 extra points. Tavecchio made 3 of 4 attempts from beyond 50 yards.

The left-footed Tavecchio was expected to be the Raiders kicker this season, but instead the competition for the job will be between Mike Nugent and Eddie Pineiro. Nugent signed a one-year deal with the Raiders on Friday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The Raiders released punter Marquette King and traded return man Cordarrelle Patterson to the Patriots in other special-teams moves during the offseason.

If Tavecchio clears waivers, he will become a free agent.</s>NAPA — Daryl Worley spoke Thursday for the first time in his over three months with the Raiders, who signed him only eight days after an ugly arrest in April.

According to NFL Network, Worley was found passed out inside his car in Philadelphia near the Eagles’ facility early in the morning on April 15 and police administered a taser on him. A gun was also found, and Worley was arrested on DUI suspicion and weapons and disorderly conduct charges, according to NFL.com.

Worley, a 2016 third-round pick of the Panthers, spent his first two seasons in Carolina before being traded to Philadelphia in mid-March this year. The Eagles wasted no time releasing him after his arrest, and Jon Gruden swooped in for the talented cornerback who’s currently seeing first-team reps with Gareon Conley sidelined a couple weeks with a hip strain.

“This opportunity, it was amazing for me,” Worley said Thursday after Day 6 of training camp. “Just to be able to get another opportunity because many people don’t get a second chance. I was just blessed to be able to get another chance and just make the best of it.

“Honestly, I just took it as a learning experience,” he said of his arrest. “It’s something that happened. You can’t change the past. Just like plays on the field, you can’t change what happened. You just have to move on to the next one. I was thankful when I talked to Coach Gruden on the phone. It was a very passionate conversation. He was understanding. I mean, people make mistakes in life. It’s not about the mistake, it’s about whether you learn from it and what you do continue to go forward in future.” Get Raiders news in your inbox. Sign up now for the free Raiders HQ newsletter.

Worley said he hasn’t heard anything from the NFL regarding potential discipline. He’ll proceed as the Raiders’ No. 2 cornerback with Conley out, starting opposite Rashaan Melvin in a defensive backfield that underwent serious overhaul this offseason after an abysmal 2017.

After Worley’s arrest, Gruden consulted a handful of people to gauge Worley’s character, including college teammate and current Raiders safety Karl Joseph. The two spent three years together at West Virginia and both entered the league in 2016. Joseph and others vouched for the 23-year-old cornerback, so Gruden felt comfortable bringing him on board so soon after a potentially concerning incident.

“I knew he could come in and help us at that position,” Joseph said in June. “We need some help in that position, so when (Gruden) asked me about him I was excited. That’s my brother. We played almost all of our years in college together. So when he asked me, I co-signed for him immediately. He’s a heck of a player.”

Joseph eased Worley’s transition at the start, catching him up to speed on what Gruden and Co. expected even if Joseph only met the staff a couple weeks before Worley did.

“He’s a savvy guy. I think he’s put what happened to him behind,” Gruden said Monday. “I think he’s focused now.”

“He’s played a lot of football. He’s an experienced guy. He’s big and long,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said Sunday. “He’s really starting to pick up the system the last couple of days.” Like our Oakland Raiders Facebook page for more Raiders news, commentary and conversation.

Worley played in a similar defense with the Panthers, he said, so the majority of his learning curve has dealt with terminology. He feels most comfortable at outside cornerback, which is where the Raiders have played him while Marcus Gilchrist and Shareece Wright get looks in the slot.

As he adjusts to Guenther’s defense, Worley has leaned on the likes of cornerback Leon Hall and safety Reggie Nelson, two veterans who played under Guenther in Cincinnati.

“Not only have they played in Coach Guenther’s defense, they’ve played in the NFL for a long time,” Worley said. “Guys that have double digit years, you have to soak up the knowledge whenever you can. Ask them questions even when you may not have necessarily a question, just being able to see how they see it and does it relate to yours.”

Worley is with his third team entering his third year. He’s already spent more time with the Raiders than he did with the Eagles, and would like to keep that going.

He evidently has a chance to make an immediate impact in the secondary if training camp reps are any indication. If Conley can’t get healthy, the Raiders will count on Worley to not only show up on the field, but stay out of trouble off it.

“I’ve been an open book,” Worley said. “Really just letting the coaches and the players around me just make their imprint. And I adjust accordingly. Just go out there and show them that I am for the team, being able to continue to work, make the plays that come my way, continue to compete and show the guys that I am here to work.”</s>HOUSTON — The Oakland Raiders’ chances of returning to Los Angeles appeared to dwindle Monday as sources said that support was coalescing around a last-minute proposal to pair the St. Louis Rams and San Diego Chargers at a planned $1.86 billion stadium in Inglewood.

The proposal, submitted by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, is expected to be on the table when league owners meet Tuesday and Wednesday at a posh Houston hotel in hopes of finally deciding which team or teams move to Los Angeles.

Jones’ plan would appear to be a boon for local Raiders fans, even if the team might be opposed. It would likely keep the Raiders in Oakland next season and could provide them with additional league funding for a future stadium project either in Oakland or somewhere else if talks with Oakland break down.

Raiders owner Mark Davis, who has also flirted with a possible move to San Antonio, did not return a call seeking comment.

Davis and Chargers owner Dean Spanos have been working together for nearly a year on a joint $1.7 billion stadium proposal in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson. On the surface, they have been competing with the Inglewood project proposed by St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke.

But that doesn’t mean the league’s 32 owners can’t mix and match in order to secure the needed 24 votes to move a club. At this point, sources said that pairing the Rams and Chargers appears to offer the best chance of meeting the three-fourth’s threshold.

Spanos is seen as having the most support among owners sympathetic to many attempts to get a stadium built in San Diego, while Kroenke is the second-wealthiest man in the sport, and his Inglewood proposal is considered the more lucrative stadium opportunity.

Meanwhile, sources said last week that several owners continued to doubt whether the Raiders had the financial capital and organizational capacity to succeed in Los Angeles.

“If I were guessing right now, my supposition is that the Jerry Jones plan will be the compromise,” said Robert Boland, a professor of sports law and economics at Ohio University. “What this points toward is whether anything can be given … to the Raiders that could cushion the blow.”

Owners are expected to require the teams moving to Los Angeles to pay a $550 million relocation fee. They could decide to allocate some of that money to help the odd team out finance a new stadium.

With the owners meeting still not underway, former 49ers executive Carmen Policy, who has been representing the Carson project, cautioned that the situation remained fluid.

“I think anybody who says they know exactly what is going to happen is either not in tune with the facts or they’re making stuff up,” he told Bay Area News Group sports columnist Tim Kawakami on Friday, the same day that Jones submitted his plan to put the Rams and Chargers in Inglewood.

Before deliberations begin, the NFL’s six-member Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities is expected to make a recommendation to owners. Then it will be up to the owners, who could focus first on which teams they want in Los Angeles or on which of the two competing stadium options they prefer.

The competition to return to Los Angeles after the Rams and Raiders abandoned the city 21 years ago is being fueled by the three teams’ dissatisfaction with the revenue-generating potential of their current stadiums. With sweetheart public stadium subsidies harder to secure, especially in California, where the state won’t provide funding, Los Angeles has become more attractive to teams because its large corporate base can pay top dollar for sponsorships and high-end seating.

At first, it appeared that St. Louis had a good chance of keeping the Rams by offering to pay more than one-third the costs of a $1.1 billion riverfront stadium. But the league has soured on that plan because it anticipates an extra $100 million in NFL financial support and would likely still need government approval.

The league also found fault with San Diego’s $350 million offer toward a new stadium that is contingent on a public vote. Oakland hasn’t made a formal offer and is refusing to help pay for a new Raiders stadium.

Davis blasted city leaders and O.co Coliseum in recent communications to league officials, describing his home field as “the worst, most inadequate facility in the league,” the Orange County Register reported Monday. If NFL owners can’t reach a decision in Houston, the league is expected to quickly call a special meeting rather than let the process drag out as it did in 1995 when the Rams and Raiders both left Los Angeles in the spring.

Oakland Councilman and Raiders fan Larry Reid recalls the Raiders’ return fondly. He’ll be a lot more nervous on Tuesday.

“I’m going to be keeping my fingers crossed,” he said. “And saying a bunch of prayers.”
