Source: Seahawks DT Reed suspended 6 games

 

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed will be suspended for the first six games of the 2019 season for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy, a league source confirmed to ESPN.

The violation stems from an 2017 domestic violence case in which Reed was accused of assault, according to NFL Network, which first reported the news of Reed's suspension. Reed was not charged or arrested. However, the NFL's personal conduct policy allows the league to punish players regardless of legal outcomes.

 

Reed's absence will be a major blow to a defensive line that will already be without its top pass-rusher, Frank Clark, who was traded to Kansas City. Reed is coming off a career-best 10.5 sacks and 50 tackles in 2018. Reed's 10.5 sacks were tied for the fourth most by a defensive tackle last season.

Not that I’m defending this guy at all, but it seems to me the NFL ought to be releasing detailed reports of these investigations that lead to suspensions or not cause it definitely looks from this end like there’s some hinky standards in place.

From here it looks like there's no standard in place.  Like Goodall rolls a set of D&D die or something

Yeah, not a good look for an industry where appearance is a huge deal. I get private investigations and private conclusions, but when you hand down the suspension, why not make it clear why uncharged guy #1 gets slapped, while uncharged guy #2 gets nada.

they did.  They said there was insufficient evidence that uncharged guy #2 did it.  Unless you're privy to all the information that the league was, you have no basis for suggesting that there is a double standard.

this is bizarre.  all is says is "an incident in 2017?"  And all the scrutiny on Hill and then nothing.  This comes out of nowhere.   Perhaps just more ESPN coverage of Hill b/c everyone knows who he is despite Reed being a great player, but the NFL needs to control the messaging better.

Big loss for the Seahawks.  When I was watching Frank Clark's highlights, I kept noticing Reed destroying the other teams' offensive lines and terrorizing QBs.  He's an absolute beast.

@_@; he said they should explain it so that it doesn't seem to be random..so your post doesn't make sense.

Thats exactly what I’m saying... I’m not privy to what they had in this case versus that case so I don’t know if there is a double standard and you don’t know that there isn’t. Right now we only have the word of the league that they are administering justice fairly and balanced and that honestly isnt a super soothing assurance, thus, it’s not a good look.

Every day, district attorneys charge certain suspects with crimes and decide not to charge others, for reasons that are not fully disclosed.  Is that a bad look, too?

Two things: 

 

1-- It aint a great look. 2 dudes due the same crime, they should face the same punishment. 

 

2-- An employer docking pay and detrimentally harming the career of a professional is 100% different than duly elected/sworn officials upholding the laws of the land. This isn't a criminal system, it's a business system.

As noted by others, how in the actual :censored: does Jarran Reed get 6 games and Tyreke Hill gets jack :censored: squat? NFL discipline credibility, 0.

The linked article says almost nothing about the evidence against Reed.  The NFL found that there was insufficient evidence for the league to take action against Hill.  What reason do you have to believe that the evidence against Hill was comparable to the evidence against Reed?  Why would the league treat Reed more harshly than Hill for similar offenses?  Both are stars, although I'll admit that Hill is a bigger one than Reed.

 hard to follow isn't it ?

What's hard to follow?  The league found sufficient evidence that Reed did it and insufficient evidence that Hill did it.  Seems very easy to follow...
