According to a report by the New York Post, the NFL won’t suspend Jets receiver Braylon Edwards for an incident in which he allegedly punched a Cleveland nightclub owner in early October.
Edwards on Monday was charged with misdemeanor assault in Cleveland Municipal Court for his alleged connection with an incident outside a downtown nightclub shortly before the Jets acquired him in a trade with the Browns.
The NFL spokesperson said that “under the PC [player conduct] policy, when a player like Braylon, with no prior history of conduct issues, has been charged, we wait for a court resolution. Then we would review the facts for any possible discipline.”
So, there’s still a chance that he could be suspended if he faces any legal ramifications from the incident. That doesn’t bode too well for him as he pursues a long-term contract this offseason.
Edwards better amp up his production and hope the Jets think that he’s worth a multi-year deal or else he’s not going to receive many offers this offseason. He picked the wrong time to (allegedly) punch a guy in the face.
