Per the press release, Skrine was transferred to the Saskatchewan Correctional Centre last month with more charges pending. He was scheduled to appear in Court on Monday but did not show up, and his GPS bracelet went offline.

Anyone who sees Buster Skrine or knows his whereabouts is advised to contact their local authorities.

Buster Skrine’s Solid Run As An NFL Player

Skrine was often overlooked because he had the misfortune of playing on mostly lousy teams during his 11-year NFL career. In fact, Skrine only got to appear in one postseason game (with the Titans in 2021) compared to 158 regular season contests.

But Buster Skrine was among the NFL’s better slot corners during the first half of his career. In four seasons on a woeful Cleveland football team, Skrine recorded six interceptions and 47 pass breakups.

Skrine then signed with the Jets in 2015, joining a team that had just brought back two standout corners in Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. In his four years as a Jet, Skrine had three interceptions, 30 pass breakups and three forced fumbles.

After a two-year run in Chicago, Skrine split his final NFL season with the 49ers (one game) and Titans (six games) in 2021. That year, he compiled one interception and three pass defenses.

Antonio Callaway can’t seem to get out of his own way when it comes to staying out of trouble and trying to reach his full potential in the NFL.Over the weekend, the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was arrested in Miami for driving with a suspended license. Apparently, he was a passenger in a car, but after providing his identification, he would be placed under arrest for a warrant for driving with a suspended license.

In response, the team has now released him after he was signed to the Cowboys’ practice squad last November but did not dress for a regular-season game. He was competing for one of the final wide receiver spots but had not practiced during the last two organized team activities open to the media.
