There definitely needs to be a true system with regulations, appeals, and impartial judgement.

Problem though is that penalties themselves just don't match what most of society would face for similar situations. In MLB, NBA, & NHL, I think the appropriate penalty should be suspension. But then if the player wants to keep playing they have to spend a certain amount of years in the minor/D-leagues depending on severity of the infraction. But there is no such structure in place for the NFL right now. Maybe if these spring leagues get more traction.
