SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27239255/seahawks-dt-reed-suspended-6-games 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.

Royale with Cheese Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 We traded up for Ragland but not Reed. Man that sucks. But won't complain...I was a Ragland fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 As noted by others, how in the actual does Jarran Reed get 6 games and Tyreke Hill gets jack squat? NFL discipline credibility, 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited July 23, 2019 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
