Suspension Blotter: Good Day To Be Goodell

  • The three currently-rostered players compelled to be interviewed by Roger Goodell about the al-Jazeera doctor have been bent over agreed to do so.  Scheduled within the next ten days for the Packers' Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers and Pittsburgh's James Harrison.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers:  The LeVeon Bell suspension for missing drug tests has been announced.  3 games.  Forfeiture is about $170,000.  (This was previously put in the main list I did back in July, but was finally announced today.)
  • New York Giants:  Josh Brown, 1 game for domestic violence from 2015 -- it had been winding through league appeals since.  Brown is the Giants' KICKER.  The Giants become the 16th team to have at least one player suspended in the off-season.  
Two team suspensions have been announced.
  • New England Patriots:  Alan Branch has been suspended for an undisclosed period of time for violations of team rules.
  • Cleveland Browns:  K'Waun Williams has been suspended for two weeks and fined a game check for numerous team rule violations.  
Of course you could be Deon Long...
  • Los Angeles Rams:  Deon Long:  CUT by the Rams for having a woman in his dorm room, a violation of team rules.  Coach Jeff Fisher called the move necessary because Long's conduct was "7-9 bullshit", claiming he would not accept the team going 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7 and the like.  The Rams have not gone better than 8-8 since 2003.
