North Dallas Thugboys: Jerry Jones better watch his ass. Here's why...

The statistics I am about to give you are courtesy of Wikipedia.  These represent suspensions handed out by the NFL effective as of the 2015 offseason (so the 2015, 2016, and 2017 offseasons and two regular seasons).

For the record, in this time frame...

Wait...

Are you SERIOUS here???

You mean to tell me that, since Super Bowl 49, the only team to have no player suspended by the league is...

THE FUCKING SEATTLE SEAHAWKS????

But it is a very quick look to understand why Jerry Jones should be immediately actionable by the league.  Here are the total number of suspensions (and each "strike" against a player is a separate suspension -- and the same rules apply as the Club Remittance, as a team is responsible for the suspension if they were in the organization at the time, even if (as in the now-example of LeTroy Guion with the Packers, they finally get sick of it and cut him!)) in this 2-plus year timeframe:
  • Dallas:  15
  • Next is Buffalo, Green Bay, the Jets, and Washington with 7 apiece.
  • Baltimore, Chicago, and Cleveland have 6 each.
  • Pittsburgh and the Rams have 5 each.
  • The Giants, San Francisco, and Tampa Bay have 4 each.
  • Detroit and New England and the Chargers have 3 each.
  • Arizona, Houston, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Philadelphia have 1
  • The rest have 2, other than aforementioned Seattle.
So this means Dallas has more suspensions in the last 2 1/2 years-ish, than any other team by a factor of 2.
