Jose Reyes with the Miami Marlina just signed a six-year, $106 million dollar contract. There is one condition however: He must cut off his dreadlocks. Owner Jeffrey Loria said that the teams haircut policy hasn’t changed and that Reyes would be expected to look like everyone else.
“No problem at all,” said Reye. “That’s not going to affect me and the way I play the game. I’ve got to cut it off, no problem.”
Another Marlins player, Hanley Ramirez, didn’t take to the policy so well. He complained about having to cut his hair and said that he wanted to be traded. He even went through the clubhouse wearing a t-shirt that said, “I’m sick of this.”

This is why there will never be a starting QB in the NFL that has dreadlocks. EVER!! Sorry for RG3 and Denard Robinson but its the reality of the fact that to the outside world your hair determines what kind of person you are. If it didn’t matter teams would not make this a prerequisite.
