Suspension Blotter Week 3 Pre-Season, And It's Not Who You Think

It's not Ndamokung Suh...


It's not D.J. Swearinger...


It's also not his first on-field NFL suspension...

• Washington Redskins:  Have just had their FOURTH player suspended for the start of the season.  Brandon Meriweather has been banned two REGULAR-SEASON games for a helmet-to-helmet hit in the Week 3 pre-season game.  He has become the first player in league history to be suspended multiple times for on-field player-safety violations.  He was suspended in 2013 for two games (appealed to one) for his track record.
• Meriweather's base salary is $855,000.  So the Redskins are on the hook to the league for one full game check (for their fourth suspension, the team penalty is 50% of all lost salary up to $500,000).  $50,294.12 for that, over $500,000 just from the Redskins alone, and the season hasn't even started yet.

I have a personal message to Brandon:

@BMeriweather31 Get out of the #NFL, you headhunting thug. #FirstPlayerMultipleOnFieldSuspensions
