I know there's another thread mods, but this is new news that no one would see buried 7 pages deep.
Funny how NFL.com has nothing on Browner, so for craps and giggles I went to espn.com and it was the top link in their news feed.
Evidently, Browner still faces some sort of suspension when he comes back, per ESPN. No one knows how many games and Browner's agent isn't saying anything, but it seems like part of the negotiated deal for Browner to come back is that he still serves some sort of suspension. I see this as supressing his FA value a bit.
It's sad how the NFL can break it's own rules, be inconsistent with enforcing their own rules, obviously be in the wrong (at least in some part) yet they're still so powerful that Browner has to pay even more after what he's already paid. I'm guessing his lawyer probably told him to take this deal instead of going for blood, which rarely happens against the NFL. We lose sight sometimes that Browner was guilty of a substance abuse violation, and that's the bottom line, but he's already missed out on so much.....what, 4 reg season games, the playoffs and SB.
I love me some football but the NFL's administrative side is wearing thin on me.
