Not surprising to learn that there are two sides to a story. Actual facts still matter, and so does due process in any real dispute. But this doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
Admittedly vague accusations and bad conduct by the complainant. A video corroborating AD's account and, according to his lawyer, the police confirming there is no basis to charge him.
Still, I would prefer to hear this as a direct statement from the Pittsburgh police. Then it's officially over.
In that event, unless something new emerges unexpectedly showing bad behavior by AD, I also highly doubt that the NFL would regard anything here as an actionable item. McVay might find this material for a cautionary talk to players about about not being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
There could still be a possible attempt at a civil suit, but for the same reasons this also seems very unlikely to impact AD as a player. Also the NFL would likely not act on the basis of a civil case unless or until a final outcome in the future somehow changed things.
