I get that part about radio silence but there are some general statements he could have made. He never said anything other than he has an alibi. What about wanting to find who did it? Grief for their family? Nope. Nothing. If not for that, who knows, maybe he gets drafted. All I know is that if I was accused of it in the media I would clear my name with or without the police. I don't need the police to tell me I'm not a killer.

But why? There is exactly zero value in his making any statement. I'm not suggesting what you suggest is a mistake, only that he need not make any such statement - there is no value in it, legally, for him.

He has problems right now much larger than an NFL contract, and I'm sure the teams might have appreciated the statement you suggest, but legally any statement could ONLY be used against him. I'm guessing his lawyer told him to keep his mouth closed. It's the smart thing to do.
