Reuben Foster’s arrest might cost him financial security

If nothing else, Reuben Foster’s arrest for marijuana possession Friday night probably cost him some security.

The 49ers’ inside linebacker arrived in the NFL with off-the-field concerns that prompted his new employer to place at least one notable provision in his contract: He will forfeit his $2.5 million of salary guarantees in the final three of his deal (2018-2020) if he is fined under the league’s drug policies, CBS Sports’ Joel Corry reported.

Foster was arrested in Tuscaloosa, Ala., for second-degree possession, which is a Class A misdemeanor in the state. Last year, at the NFL combine, he failed a drug test for submitting a diluted sample.
