Suspension Blotter Update 7/18: Another lost cause gets another multiple strike...

Another player who should just be forced to hang 'em up for good:

• Detroit Lions:  Armonty Bryant

March 4, 2016:  Got four games for PED's, a month after getting arrested for drugs during a traffic stop.  That got him thrown off the Cleveland Browns.

November 1, 2016:  Banned three additional games for violation of the substance abuse policy.  This probably was for the traffic stop arrest.  He was IR'd with a knee after injuring it in the first game back -- he played only five games for the Lions and signed a near-minimum contract with only $40,000 guaranteed this year.

July 18, 2017:  Confirming that second suspension was almost certainly for the arrest, he's been banned four additional games for his third suspension since last season ended.

He becomes the 21st player and second Detroit Lion (defensive lineman, as well!) to be banned this offseason.  Another Detroit suspension means a fine to the league.  With Detroit being seen as about the only alternative to the Packers in the NFC North, this can't sit well with the league...
