No, I wouldn't want the Skins to be the team giving him another chance, just as I expect the Dolphins would want no part of him now. But, he should be allowed the chance to come back if someone wants him.

OK, yeah I can agree with that. He's served his time, so yeah, I agree he should be allowed back.
But man, if you're the GM of a team, and you know that pot gets you banned from games, and you know that there's a good chance this guy is going to continue smoking pot, you'd have to be an idiot. Or a team with absolutely nothing to lose for the rest of the season.
Nevermind the validity of using pot as an alternative medicine, because that has no relevance on the NFL's substance abuse policy. Ricky should be allowed back, but given that pot gets you banned, bringing him back can't possibly be a good idea for just about any NFL team.
