YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 @MikeGarafolo: One-year suspension for Raiders' Aldon Smith, as @AdamSchefter said. It's for a calendar year and it starts now. Eligible to return November 2016 @MikeGarafolo: Smith's suspension is for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy following his DUI arrest this summer. @Rand_Getlin: Losing Aldon Smith is rough for the #Raiders. Had been fairly disruptive. 27 hurries, 5 QB hits, 3.5 sacks in 9 games.
Big C Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Raiders knew this was a possiblity when they brought him in. They will miss him in their lineup down the stretch, I think.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 It was just a matter of when. This certainly hurts the Raiders' defense and also their playoff chances.
YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 @AlbertBreer: The way the SOA policy works, and at the stage of it he's at, Aldon Smith is not guaranteed reinstatement. Can apply next November for it.
YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I hope he uses the time off usefully. It can be worse when guys like this are away from the team and back with enablers. Edited November 17, 2015 by YoloinOhio
