Suspension Blotter: This is a big one...

Not announced yet, and Lewan will appeal, but it appears as if the league and Taylor Lewan are going to have words:

  • Tennessee Titans:  Taylor Lewan:  Once the B Sample comes back, 4 games for the banned substance ostarine.  He has taken a polygraph and swears not only he has not taken the drug, but also has had all supplements he's taken analyzed and can find nothing.
Appears, from what I've read, this is found in lots of dietary supplements and is often off-label in doing so...  Hoo boy.

This costs Lewan THREE POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS.  Not just all the respect, etc., but that's one of the largest suspension hits in the history of the league.

According to Spotrac, he is the highest (by average annual salary) left tackle in the National Football League.

First Titans suspension of the year, any further will trigger max penalties at each tier.  Just the 15% minimum, if there was no maximum, would be over $500,000 for Lewan's alone.
