Cleveland Browns Defensive Line Possibly Facing Suspension

A pair of defensive linemen for the Cleveland Browns, Shaun Rogers and Robaire Smith, are waiting to find out just what their run in with the law will cost them this season.

 

Coincidentally, both players were arrested for the same thing, attempting to carry firearms through airport security.

 

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to make a decision on how much or if the two players will be suspended, but has said that he is certain that there will be a penalty.

 

"Both cases are still under review by our staff…I don't have any plans to specifically sit down with either one of them... "I'm not going to make any judgments about it other than it's a clear mistake…It is a violation of law. It's the kind of judgments that we have to make sure we do a better job of avoiding."" (ESPN)

 

Rogers made news for being involved in another legal matter, but this time on the side of the law. He assisted police in stopping a motorist that was driving under the influence in a local Cleveland suburb. While commendable, Goodell has not said whether or not the good deed will influence his decision.

 

Goodell has been busy lately making deciding on several disciplinary cases. Michael Vick will not be facing any suspension for his birthday party shooting; Vince Young will not be suspended for his late night fight at a Dallas strip club either. Goodell has praised the work that Ben Roethlisberger has done, but says that his suspension is expected to stay the same.
