The NFL has suspended Raiders pass rusher Aldon Smith for one year for violation of the league's substance abuse policy as first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. The suspension stems from an incident last August that had the Santa Clara DA office file charges against him for DUI with prior, hit and run with property damage, and vandalism.
Well Twink, you were initially right. They sat him down for one year. I think he still may appeal it and get it dropped to 8 games or something but either way for right now he is done for the season. More bad news. Doesn't it seem like the NFL was waiting to see if we could be exciting and win some games before they dropped the hammer haha. I know it's tinfoil town stuff but just how a fan thinks.
He had 3 mil in base salary and roster bonus paid out already and got a Per Game Active Bonus of $250,000 on top of that. He is forfeiting the remaining $2,250,000 of 2015 salary. Don't ask me how it adds up. Taking the #s from Spotrac. Probably part of the base wasn't guaranteed.
