Today was the day the NFL teams cut their rosters to their Week One 53-player limit.
These players will begin the season under suspension. All, I believe, have already been covered.
- New York Jets: Brandon Echols, suspended one game for a 2022 car crash which left the other driver partially paralyzed.
- Dallas Cowboys: Ronald Jones, suspended two games for a stimulant/diuertic/masking agent.
- Atlanta Falcons: Breon Borders, suspended two games, same reason.
- Indianapolis Colts: Chris Lammons and
- New Orleans Saints: Alvin Kamara, three games each for an altercation with other parties in Las Vegas just before the 2022 Pro Bowl.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: Cam Robinson, four games, PED policy, but not sure whether this was a PED ding (which would be six games) or a second stimulant/diuretic/etc. hit (which would be five games). This one costs Robinson nearly $4,000,000.
- Seattle Seahawks: D'Wayne Eskridge, six games, domestic violence.
- Detroit Lions: Jameson Williams, six games, non-NFL gambling.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Charles Omenihu, six games, domestic violence arrest which cost the (team he was then on) 49ers any shot at a Super Bowl berth.
- Tennessee Titans: Nicholas Petit-Frere, six games, non-NFL gambling.
- Denver Broncos: Eyioma Uwazurike, life ban -- reinstatement after one year possible (though unlikely) -- gambling on NFL games (and involved in the Iowa/Iowa St. scandal, which could get him two years in prison in the state).
The rest of these are free agents:
- Sean Chandler, two games, stimulant/diuertic/masking agent. Signed and released by Arizona during training camp.
- Perrion Winfrey, two games, robbery incident in July 2023, for which he was fired by the Cleveland Browns.
- Isaiah Wilson, three games, undisclosed, but probably a number of Personal Conduct issues. Last seen in the NFL in the Giants practice squad for the 2021-22 season.
- Mazzi Wilkins, three games, undisclosed, though a mugshot matching his name, at least, is on a 2022 DUI charge in Florida. He is currently on the Injured Reserve list of the USFL, no word on whether they will honor the suspension.
- Travis Jonsen, three games, 2021 DUI, for which he was fired by his last NFL team, Tampa Bay.
- Will Richardson, three games, 2022 DUI. Last in the NFL in 2021 with Jacksonville.
- Damon Arnette, three games, July 2022 drug arrest. Last in the league in early 2022 with Kansas City. Fired by the Raiders the previous year for videos of threats and firearms, which may also have contributed.
- Stanley Berryhill, six games, non-NFL gambling. Fired by the Lions after the suspension.
- Ryan Smith, one year, second offense PEDs. Two stints on the practice squad last year, last with Tampa Bay.
- Amani Bledsoe, one year, second offense PEDs, for which he was fired by Atlanta.
Life bans (full season, can be reinstated (like Calvin Ridley was) by the Commissioner after one season) for gambling on NFL games:
- Quintez Cephus
- CJ Moore
- Shaka Toney
- Rashod Berry
- Demetrius Taylor
- Isaiah Rodgers
Well, I found out something interesting...
Any mention I made of the Club Remittance Policy the last three seasons (and this offseason) is invalid.
The NFL got rid of it as a COVID situation during the pandemic -- but NBC's Pro Football Talk notes it may get brought back in 2024.
