Quote:Here's the substance abuse policy:

I just glance through it.  But it seems to say that he can't reapply for reinstatement until 60 days before a full year after the violation.

Not sure if it matters in his case but I think Goodell let Aldon Smith off of the hook for some very serious stuff last year in exchange for going through rehab treatment. Josh Gordon also reduced some suspension time by agreeing to testing at least once a week I believe also. If he takes this serious (which he pretty much has to due to the very smart contract we had him sign to protect ourselves) I expect him to be back soon.

 

I admit I don't know the details on this and I don't believe that the specific violation was ever confirmed. If this was weed which I'm guessing it was, it will be legal here in FL for medicinal purposes later this year. The NFL does not seem to be as worried about weed as much as they used to be either. See comments form the Bud Bowl, I mean 2014 Super Bowl. Both teams were from states where weed is leagl for recreational use. Like it or not it is only a matter of time before that is the case in every state. Private institutions like the NFL will be able to have their own policies but I don't think they are going to care about it given some of Roger Goodell's comments.
