Victor Hampton Cut by Ravens Following DWI Arrest: Latest Details and Reaction

The Baltimore Ravens announced Monday afternoon they cut cornerback Victor Hampton.  

The move comes after a North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper arrested Hampton for allegedly driving while impaired. Alexa Ashwell of WSOC Charlotte reported that Hampton was going 100 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone, and he is also looking at speeding, open container and reckless driving charges.

"It's a privilege to play in the National Football League. It's a privilege to be a part of the Ravens," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh in the team's press release. "There's a standard to uphold there, and we expect them to [do that]. We've always expected them to do that. But I would think that it will be a little bit shorter leeway, maybe than it's been in the past."

This is the second time Baltimore released one of its players who allegedly ran afoul of the law. In January, the team parted ways with defensive tackle Terrence Cody after he was under investigation for animal cruelty.

ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley wonders if the Ravens will act as swiftly in the future if a more vital star finds himself in legal trouble:

Hampton barely had time to enjoy his time with Baltimore.

The Ravens signed him to a reserve-future contract in January. After going undrafted in 2014, he had brief stints with the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Bengals. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.
