1. Good for him, hope he gets the help he needs.

2. Yeah, I’m not sure you can rehab brain trauma induced assholery

3. Seems a really bad day to post this from their attorney. April Fools?

4. Hopefully he still takes the Rams out back on contract negotiations

5. We aren’t bashing this, are we? Dude is uber talented but is having behavioral problems that’s been getting him in trouble and putting him on a path of self destruction.

   Good on him for realizing he has a problem and working to fix that problem. I really hope he gets his head on straight

6. PR stunt in light of the bad allegations. Dude is starting to feel a $170M contract extension slip away and it is desperation time.

   You cannot tell me a dude with his level of sustained asshole behavior is doing this for other reasons.

7. From Man to Man I hope this helps him with dealing with whatever made him lose his mind this season

   From a Football Fan of a rivial Teams perspective, I hope he sticks around in Rehab till the Season is already underway

   Because the man is begrudgingly good at Catching the Ball

8. And I say, no. No. No.

9. I wonder if he OD’d on all the copium he was on after that NFC Championship loss.

10. I mean, this is almost certainly some sort of settlement stipulation from his assault lawsuit, right?

11. Take care y’all bodies, take care y’all chicken, take care y’all mentals

    The way he is and the way he plays, something had to give. Get healthy, brother

12. Hopefully he can stop biting people and offending entire nations of people through this rehab

13. And we care because?

14. You can go to rehab for being an asshole?

15. Sure seems he bit her, no?

    And in litigation, judges want to see the steps taken towards “fixing” 🤔

16. Least surprising headline ever. Good luck winning that legal battle.

17. Goofy ass

18. Where’s the “We Did Not Care”?

19. Honestly I hope he gets help. This is the first step

20. Remember guys, addiction is a disease. He needs love and support and not just from his fans or loved ones. I will pray for his healing and recovery. He’s a talented young man and a joy to watch play football

21. He is doing this to try and save face. He cares about his money nothing else. Dude is just a major asshole no rehab will change that. He physicaly assaulted a woman and is a racist pos. Many pros through the years have done the whole “Deny the allegations then jump into rehab trick”. He needs to be charged for biting that women.

    If any of us did what he has done we would have been arrested and would be facing charges

22. Puka Nachewa

23. Rehab for what exactly? Alcohol is potentially obvious, but was he using hard drugs?

24. What this got to do with us? not our problem

25. As a human being, I really hope he gets the help he needs. You never want to see someone going down that path and destroy their lives. He may be a jackass, but he doesn’t deserve to struggle.

26. News dumping on April fools day

27. I hope he gets the help he needs and recovers.

    I’m glad the Seahawks have placed such an emphasis on character. We don’t seem to be having dramas like this of late.

28. I Heard he couldn’t stop banging dead ladies

29. They have rehab for being a dumb asshole? Maybe i should check it out

30. I wish him the best. He clearly needs to work on himself.

31. Puke-a Na-poo-a

32. I hope he gets the help he needs. He’s a young dude who’s gone way off the deep end. The immaturity is one thing, but the harmful words and actions he’s taken need to be held accountable for. Dude needs to be better, and rehab is one path towards doing that. Hope he comes out a better person.

33. If this is not an April Fools prank:

    He didn’t enter rehab. It’s not indicated to be substance related. His attorney, Levi McCathern, described it in a post on X as a “holistic care facility” to focus on his “personal growth.” This news was shared by Mr. McCathern only AFTER he noted Puca entered the facility BEFORE the application for a restraining order was denied. Sorry, but to me, all this seems like a ham-handed PR move.

    Full disclosure: I don’t know what’s going on with Puke-ah. I’d wager none of you do either.

    If he’s truly struggling, I wish him the best and hope he gets help with his problems, whatever they are.

    If he’s not struggling and for PR purposes he’s masquerading as if he is, that’d just be the worst. Considering his track record and the dollars at stake, this possibility needs to be considered.

    If it IS an April Fools prank, someone needs to be fired.

34. I sure love JSN.

35. Shocker

36. Remember when Mike and John said JSN earned his deal in part because of his personality?

    This is why

37. Mormons cannot handle their booze

38. [ Removed by Reddit ]

39. Do they have rehabs to kick being a racist nazi?

40. Why is this posted here? Aint nothin ’bout nothin Seahawks

41. This is only “for show” I’m sure, he seems like the type of guy who will need to check into rehab about 10 times in the next 5 years. Most likely him trying to better his image and perception of him rather than actually trying to get better.

42. Does rehab cure CTE?

43. In rehab for what, exactly?

44. 100% guarantee it’s part of his legal defense.

45. I say no no no.

46. Honestly hope he gets the help he needs too. Thankfully he didn’t get a DUI or anything but the dumb stuff has got to go.

47. Dudes a clown through and through. That being said, I hope he finds his way to recovery.
