Though, he avoided life imprisonment by pleading guilty to one count of trying to buy and distribute large amounts of marijuana and cocaine.
According to a federal complaint – via AP – Hurd told an undercover agent that he wanted 5 to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area.
Hurd claimed he was already distributing 4 kilograms a week, according to the complaint. A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.
At that time, Hurd was in the first season of a three-year deal with the Bears, worth in excess of $5million.
Prior to his time in Chicago, Hurd had five seasons with the Cowboys from 2006-2010. He was an undrafted prospect out of Northern Illinois.
