Overview

• A Collin County grand jury returned a “no bill” on August 14, ending local criminal proceedings and preventing an indictment against Bond.
• Bond released a statement announcing his intention to sign with the Cleveland Browns and thanking prosecutors and courts for their decision.
• Sources tell ESPN that no contract has been finalized as the Browns complete due diligence on the undrafted wide receiver.
• NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed the league is conducting its own review and could impose discipline under its Personal Conduct Policy.
• Bond’s April arrest on a sexual assault warrant and his July defamation lawsuit dismissal with prejudice had contributed to him going undrafted before this clearance.
